Leerink Partners reiterated an Outperform rating and $47.00 price target on Agilent (NYSE: A) following the company's 3Q15 earnings report. Agilent reported F3Q revenue of $1.01B, which was 1% above consensus estimate of $1.0B. Adjusted EPS of $0.44 also came in above consensus of $0.41. Management modestly lowered its FY2015 revenue guidance range from $4.05-$4.11B to $4.03-$4.05B.
Analyst Dan Leonard commented, "Agilent reported F3Q revenue of $1.01B, which was 1% above our consensus-like estimate of $1.0B. Excluding a 7% FX headwind, revenue grew organically by 9%, well above our ~7% forecast, driven by strong core revenue growth across all businesses. Adjusted EPS of $0.44 also came in above our $0.40 estimate and consensus of $0.41. The F3Q book-to-bill ratio was light at 0.94x, which management attributed to a slow F3Q start and lumpiness in orders."
