Is Waters Corporation Stock Underperforming the Dow?

2026-04-07 06:30:48

Waters Corporation (WAT) is significantly underperforming the Dow Jones Industrial Average due to investor concerns about softer near-term guidance and risks associated with its recent acquisition of Becton Dickinson’s biosciences unit. Despite solid fourth-quarter 2025 results, the stock has seen considerable declines year-to-date, over the past three months, and annually. Analysts, however, maintain a “Moderate Buy” rating with a price target suggesting a substantial premium to current levels.
