“we also had the news coming out of Denmark in the last quarter or so about Novo Nordisk going through some resizing there, and that puts that piece of the market under pressure right now.”
Mettler-Toledo cites Novo Nordisk's resizing as a pressure on its Nordic pharma end-market demand, a negative read-through for the drugmaker's spending.
Mettler-Toledo closed FY2025 with Q4 sales of $1.1 billion, up 5% in local currency, and adjusted EPS of $13.36 growing 8% as broad-based Q4 growth and budget-flush activity in product inspection and bioprocessing capped a year of improving trends. Management raised FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance from $45.35-46.00 to $46.05-46.70 representing 8-9% growth, benefiting from the Swiss tariff rate reduction from 39% to 15% and continued service business expansion reaching the $1 billion milestone.
