Thermo Fisher Scientific (ISIN US8835561023) closed at USD 654.80 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, up 0.35 percent from the prior close. The company will publish its third quarter 2026 results before the market opens on October 21, 2026, according to Thermo Fisher Scientific.
October 21 is the next test
The upcoming release follows a second quarter 2026 performance that gave investors a measurable benchmark. According to MarketBeat, adjusted earnings reached USD 6.03 per share against a USD 5.71 consensus estimate, a USD 0.32 beat.
Revenue for the quarter was USD 11.99 billion versus a USD 11.71 billion estimate, while year-over-year growth was 10.5 percent. The figures put the October release under pressure to show that demand across laboratory products, analytical instruments and biopharma services is carrying into the second half.
Analysts see a divided picture
MarketBeat lists a Moderate Buy consensus from 26 analysts. The average target is USD 628.78, with a high of USD 750.00 and a low of USD 520.00, placing the published target range across a USD 230.00 spread.
The individual calls are less uniform than the label suggests. UBS upgraded Thermo Fisher from Neutral to Buy on September 8, 2026, and raised its target from USD 540.00 to USD 730.00, according to MarketBeat. That target is materially above the average, while the consensus itself remains below the October 2 close.
Stock stays below its yearly high
Thermo Fisher Scientific reached a 52-week high of USD 683.63 and a low of USD 435.27. The October 2 close was 4.22 percent below the high, leaving the next earnings report as the clearest scheduled test for whether recent operating growth can support the valuation.
The October 2 NYSE close was USD 654.80, with trading volume of 1,667,702 shares. Market capitalization stood at USD 242.1 billion on that date.
