15、esults.Life Science Tools:Broad Trends across 4Q18 Earnings We believe there are a number of areas that investors are paying close attention to with 4Q18 earnings.These areas are outlined below:China:Despite recent concerns around China,the Life Science Tools companies have continued to realize stro
16、ng growth in the region.Thermo Fisher posted organic growth of roughly 19%in 4Q18 in China,capping off a year of 20%growth.While there are no data points to suggest that slowing growth or tariffs are having an impact on demand for Life Science Tools technologies,companies are taking an appropriately
17、 cautious stance.Danaher posted double-digit growth in China,citing broad based growth in the region.Management said nothing to suggest that growth is slowing.For Illumina,revenue growth was 28%y/y in China when adjusting for the timing of stocking orders that got pulled into 2Q18 and 3Q18.Waters po
18、sted 15%growth in China,with particular strength in the biopharma end market.Biopharma End Market:It appears that the biopharma end market continued as a growth driver for the Life Science Tools in 4Q18.Danahers Pall business benefited from double-digit growth with biotech customers,powering overall
19、 growth in the high-single digits for the business.Thermo Fisher delivered low-teens biopharma growth in 4Q18,with solid growth across the portfolio.The company is modelling a continuation of strong trends in 2019,with growth in the high-single digits.At Waters,organic growth with biopharma customer

21、-$6.60,representing growth of 13.6-15.3%.Danaher(DHR,covered by Julian Mitchell)issued 2019 guidance that calls for organic growth of 4%.This is down from roughly 6%organic growth in 2018.While the company did not provide a significant level of detail regarding its assumptions in guidance,management
22、 noted that growth in China is anticipated to grow in the HSD to low DD.2019 guidance also calls for$4.75 to$4.85 in EPS,reflecting growth of 5.2-7.5%.Waters is guiding towards organic growth of 4-6%in 2019,which would represent an acceleration over 2018 growth(3.7%organic growth).Following weaker 2
23、018 results in India and Europe,Waters expects improvements in these regions throughout 2019.We believe new product introductions will be additive to growth,improving our visibility into 2019 guidance.The recent BioAccord launch should open up new markets for Waters in the areas of late stage develo

30、GS consumables growth of 8%.Adjusting for the timing of stocking orders,NGS consumables growth would have been 16%.The company technically missed its NovaSeq placement target for 2018,with 315 placements coming in below the target of 330-350.That said,we continue to have confidence in the sustainabi

36、ivity Increases Modestly”(January 25,2019)Flu activity rose modestly in Week 16 and remains at heightened levels.As you can see in the“Outpatient Flu-Like Illness”chart below,it is not uncommon for flu activity to increase marginally(following significant declines)during this week of reporting.While
37、 trends remain more muted compared to last years flu season(which was very severe),we think its still too early to make a call on the severity of this years flu season.We continue to monitor the data closely.For the week ended January 19,2019,we highlight that 3.3%of patient physician visits were du

39、ical Pathology business for$1.14 billion in cash to PHC Holdings Corporation.We believe the deal makes strategic sense on several fronts.The AP business is one of the few areas of Thermo Fishers portfolio where the company lacked scale,competing in the market with Roche(covered by Emmanuel Papadakis
40、),Danahers Leica Bio(covered by Julian Mitchell)and Agilents Dako.Additionally,the business has been a relative laggard in the Specialty Diagnostics segment historically for Thermo Fisher,so divestiture should improve underlying segment growth.Barclays|U.S.Life Science Tools&Diagnostics 31 January 2
41、019 6 Lastly,the deal price represents 3.3x revenues of$350mm,which we view as a good return for the asset.The sale follows rumblings around a potential sale in Bloomberg from 10/31/2018,Thermo Fisher Considers Sale of$1 Billion Pathology Unit.Thermo Fishers final sale price of$1.14bn is similar to
42、the reports estimate of around$1bn at the time.Thermo Fisher has a strong track record of portfolio management,including disciplined divestitures(in addition to M&A prowess).Looking across the portfolio,there are no additional obvious targets which we think make sense to prune at this time.Conversel
43、y,we continue to see substantial opportunity for Thermo Fisher to consolidate assets across Life Science Tools,Dx and the CDMO industries.Finally,given recent commentary around strong end market conditions and potential for share gain in 2019,the divestiture appears to be coming from a position of s
44、trength.While the deal itself carries modest near-term dilution,we expect management to re-deploy proceeds strategically over time.“Laterals from Danaher 4Q18 Earnings on Life Science Tools&Dx”(January 29,2019)Following Danahers 4Q18 earnings conference call,we took a look at the companys life scien
45、ce and diagnostic segments to get an updated view on laterals for our coverage.Danaher(DHR,covered by Julian Mitchell)is a multi-industry company with businesses in Life Science Tools,Diagnostics,Environmental/Applied and Dental end markets.Danaher either competes with or is a supplier to our entire
46、 coverage,and we believe its important to track trends for any read-though into competitive dynamics and market conditions.“Illumina Inc.:Solid NGS Fundamentals,Revenue Ramp in Focus To Start 2019”(January 30,2019)Ultimately,we believe Illuminas business fundamentals appear solid looking into 2019,w
47、ith guidance and messaging consistent with the companys preannouncement on 1/7/19.There was a focus with earnings on expectations for a revenue ramp throughout 2019,which rationally we think make sense-but could weigh on sentiment near term.The quarter in itself was consistent with the companys pre-
48、announcement,with strength in the areas that matter for the thesis.Notably,the company posted record NGS instruments sales up 21%y/y,and NGS consumables+8%despite difficult comps and the impact of prior quarter stocking.The company continues to see a multi-year upgrade cycle ahead for NovaSeq,noting
49、 that only 25%of its 800 HiSeq customers have upgraded to the new platform so far.A weak point with earnings was that adjusted EPS(which was not reported on 1/7/19)of$1.32 came in below our model at$1.38.Weaker gross margins from higher instrument mix combined with greater than expected operating ex
50、pense investment drove the difference.This was partially offset by a lower-than-anticipated tax rate.“Thermo Fisher Scientific,Inc.:Momentum Continues with More Potential Upside Ahead”(January 30,2019)Thermo Fisher closed 2018 with significant momentum,which we believe puts the company in a strong p
