WAT VS S&P500
Waters' analytical instruments remain the gold standard in several applications, especially LC-MS for biopharmaceutical firms, where regulations preserve consistent recurring sales for many years.
Historically, Waters has maintained a disciplined capital allocation strategy that has preserved returns on invested capital near the top of the industry, and we expect that to continue even if acquisitions increase somewhat.
Waters continues to benefit from expanding branded and generic biopharmaceuticals and the increase in food safety and environmental testing by various entities.
