Thermo Fisher Scientific (ISIN US8835561023) saw Goldman Sachs lift its price target from USD 650.00 to USD 780.00 on September 21, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The target change gives the latest analyst action a clear numerical anchor while the stock was trading at EUR 607.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026.
Second-quarter growth supports the target
Thermo Fisher reported USD 11.99 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 10.00 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to StockTitan. Adjusted earnings per share rose 13.00 percent to USD 6.03, while adjusted operating income increased 15.00 percent to USD 2.73 billion.
The earnings mix also improved: adjusted operating margin expanded to 22.80 percent in the second quarter from 21.90 percent a year earlier. GAAP diluted earnings per share reached USD 4.68, up 9.00 percent from the prior-year quarter, making the adjusted and GAAP measures point in the same direction.
Guidance and earnings date matter next
Management raised its 2026 revenue guidance to USD 47.40 billion-USD 48.10 billion and adjusted earnings-per-share guidance to USD 24.93-USD 25.33, according to the second-quarter call transcript published by Yahoo Finance. The midpoint of the adjusted earnings range increased by USD 0.25 from the previous outlook, although the guidance still includes the expected effect of the microbiology divestiture.
The next reporting date is October 28, 2026, before the market opens, as listed by The Wall Street Journal. That date gives investors a defined checkpoint for testing whether the second-quarter improvement and the higher full-year outlook are continuing.
