BTIG analyst Sung Ji Nam raised her price target on Thermo Fisher to $320 and kept her Buy rating after the company raised its 3-year organic revenue growth projections to 5%-7% for the "first time in recent history". The analyst cites the company's rise in exposure to the faster growing segments within biopharma and emerging markets, reflecting the management's strategic R&D investments, M&A, and operational efficiency efforts. Sung Ji Nam adds that her price target assumes a 24-times forward earnings multiple and marks a 7% premium to Thermo Fisher's peer group average, with added upside coming from the company's capital deployment potential.
