Thermo Fisher Scientific's organic sales growth accelerated sequentially to 6% in the third quarter, while reported growth reached 9%, including a net 3% contribution from acquisitions and divestitures. Management raised its full-year sales growth guidance to 7%-8%.
Thermo Fisher is among the industry's best when it comes to cost control. As near-term spending is constrained, the company's margins show exceptional resilience.
