• This Specialized Tech Company Looks Cheap

  By Matthew Frankel - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: A, HPQ, MTD

  Agilent Technologies  (NYSE: A) is one of the leading manufacturers of measurement and testing instruments, and has exposure to many sectors, making it a great diversification play.  With nicely growing revenues, a great balance sheet, and a share price that is still about 10% below its 52-week high despite the incredible rally in the markets, is Agilent worth a look?

• Company Makes Aggressive Moves into the Healthcare Services Space

  By Mike Thiessen - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: A, HAL, ROP

  Within the past 12 months, industrial equipment manufacturer Roper Industries (NYSE: ROP) has made two important acquisitions that have the potential to reorder the company's focus and boost its bottom-line earnings. 

  In mid-2012, Roper inked a $1.4 million cash purchase deal with privately held Sunquest Information Systems, an important player in the laboratory software industry. More recently, the company agreed to purchase privately held Managed Health Care Associates more »

• Why You Should Take a Look at This Stock

  By Victor Selva - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: A, TMO, WAT

  Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A) is a highly diversified company, although almost half (48%) of its sales are generated by the Electronic Measurements Group (EMG). The recent reduction in this segment's sales led to a sell-off, providing an interesting entry point for long-term investors. I think that shares are expected to perform well based on three key reasons.

  Good position to benefit from an economic recovery

• Forget About Life, Check out This Stock

  By Marshall Hargrave - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: A, LIFE, PKI, TMO

  The big news in the medical service and device sector is the speculated buyout of Life Technologies (NASDAQ: LIFE). However, I believe investors could snatch up Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A) for a "good" price amid the hype surrounding Life.

   

  Agilent provides bio-analytic and electronic measurement solutions to the communications, electronics, life sciences and chemical analysis industries, meaning it has a bit more of a diversified portfolio, serving not only the more »

  By Ryan Guenette - February 7, 2013 | Tickers: A, DHR, HON, SI, TMO

  A SWOT analysis is a look at a company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and is a tremendous way to gain a detailed and thorough perspective on a company and its future. As 2013 begins, I would like to focus on a diversified science and technology giant: Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR).

  Strengths:

• A Garage Band Making Good

  By AnnaLisa Kraft - January 14, 2013 | Tickers: A, PKI, TMO, WAT

  Don't we all love stories about bands that started in garages like Blink 182 or The Hives or mega cap tech companies founded by two nerds in their parents' garage? (Think Apple, Google, Amazon, Hewlett-Packard). There's just something so All American about it. The most iconic of companies like Mattel, Harley-Davidson, and Disney share rags to riches beginnings in garages.

  It's so fairy tale and mythic like more »

• Electronic Equipment Stocks to Consider Buying

  By David Gould - December 6, 2012 | Tickers: A, DHR, HBIO

  If you are seeking exposure to the electronic equipment industry, there are several factors you should look at. First, consider the segments and geographical exposure. If you are bullish on life sciences over tech, you might want to consider preferentially backing their suppliers (unless, you want to hedge, or limit, your risks). Second, look at how successful R&D has been in driving free cash flow or whether it is more »

• How Agile is Agilent Technologies?

  By Garima Arora - November 26, 2012 | Tickers: A, DHR, TER, TMO

  Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A), a leading service provider of bio-analytical and electronic measurement solutions recently released its fourth quarter earnings. The company has shown an increase of 50 basis points (bps) in its gross margin from the year ago-quarter due to efficient cost management, but company's pessimism about its future earnings in its conference call is a source of worry. I beleive operating in a cyclical industry with its more »

  Despite the common perception of insider trading, it remains a fact that out of the hundreds of thousands of insider transactions every year, just a tiny fraction are ruled to be unlawful. In case you haven't heard, the SEC may have just broken open the most significant case of illegal insider trading in history.

• This Cyclical Stock Disappoints With its Outlook

  By Lee Samaha - November 21, 2012 | Tickers: A, BRKR, CSCO, INTC, TER

  I think that Agilent (NYSE: A) is a great barometer of a cyclical companies willingness to undergo capital expenditures. If companies are expanding CapEx then they will need to invest in test and measurement instrumentation. With this in mind Agilent’s recent results and commentary were not exactly encouraging. I want to break them down and see the areas of relative strengths/weaknesses with reference to Agilent’s and other more »

  By Lee Samaha - November 19, 2012 | Tickers: A, CPB, HNZ, HPQ, LOW

  Earnings season starts to wind down this week, but there are still some interesting companies reporting. I think by now most investors will have formulated their view on the general trend of earnings and the economy. This week is probably about confirming- already drawn- conclusions.

  For the record, I think it has been a bit of a watershed earnings season. I’ve been a bit negative on emerging markets (EM more »

• Buy These 2 Suppliers to Diversify in the Right Tech Market

  By David Gould - October 11, 2012 | Tickers: A, GLW, DHR

  With demand in technology soaring, investors should start eyeing suppliers. Backing any one end market, like tablets, is risky given how fickle consumers can be. However, diversifying investments can be tricky considering how many markets there are to choose from. Suppliers, however, have already exposed themselves to end markets and, in a sense, done much of the research for you. I recommend considering some of the folloing investments as a more »
