WallachBeth Capital initiates coverage on Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO) with a Buy rating and $68 price target.

Analyst Peter McDonald comments, "TMO's AT business continues to benefit from new product introductions and the Dionex acquisition.TMO’s LPS business should benefit from recent restructuring and consumable demand, but will likely remain constrained given the funding environment. Over the next six months, we see two key headwinds; the uncertainty around academic and government funding (24% of revenue) and the uncertain economy. Its broad customer base helps offset potential academic segmentweakness, and the focus on operational efficiency, new product development, and share repurchases ($750MM) should enhance EPS growth whilea modest valuation (11x 2013e) provides some downside protection."
