Earnings drove the stock market higher — can they do it again in the week ahead? But he acknowledged that timing is key because our portfolio discipline mandates that we consider lightening up our stock exposure in an overbought market. In fact, AMD was our worst-performing stock for the entire week, losing more than 7% following the prior week's 1.8% slide. Energy was the worst sector of the week for the market as oil prices sank. In the week ahead, housing numbers are the main draw on the economic front.

That improvement in the bioprocessing end market is super important because it has been a huge overhang for Danaher shares, and the life sciences space in general. We were concerned about the bioprocessing market after rival Sartorius cut its guidance last week. The management team has effectively navigated the bioprocessing slowdown better than others and kept expectations managed — a big reason we've stuck by the stock during a difficult few quarters. Based on these strong results and the improving bioprocessing market, we are raising our price target to $295 from $280 and reiterating our 1 rating. All three operating segments are expected to post sales decline rates in the low single digits.

The anti-obesity drug market is expected to remain in focus this year after a bumper 2023 for weight loss drugmakers Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly , according to Berenberg. GLP-1 drugs encourage the production of hormones that cause weight loss through reduced appetite. Nevertheless, Berenberg's analysts believe the bigger, underappreciated, near-term opportunity lies with companies preparing to launch generic versions of the first-generation GLP-1 drugs. Under-the-radar picks Sartorius and SKAN Group, Berenberg's "under-the-radar" pick, are also expected to benefit from manufacturing generic GLP-1 drugs. The investment bank sees Sartorius benefiting from the growing commercialization of GLP-1 drugs and forecasts shares to rise by 27% over the next 12 months.

☆ Why we bought more Danaher even after it lowered the forecast for a key business
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-24 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

But shares of the life sciences and medical diagnostics company remain under pressure after management was forced to lower expectations for one of its key businesses. We used Tuesday's sell-off in Danaher shares to add to our position . Driving this forecast is an expectation for biotechnology sales drop in the mid-20% range, life sciences sales to decline by mid-single digit percentage points, and for diagnostics to be down about 20%. Assuming no additional headwinds in the fourth quarter, management reiterated their full year outlook for the bioprocessing base business to be down 10% on a full-year basis. The life sciences unit was hampered by pressure in the instruments business.

The outlook for adjusted core earnings of 5.8 billion to 6.4 billion euros this year, down from 6.85 billion in 2022, was also confirmed. Higher interest rates have dampened investor appetite for risky biotech drug ventures, compounding a decline in coronavirus-related activities.

☆ Slump in UK retail sales eases in September, CBI says
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-25 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

The CBI's September monthly retail sales survey - conducted between Aug. 25 and Sept. 13 - showed the headline balance rebound to a three-month high of -14 from August's more than two year low of -44. "There are some elements of optimism in our survey with retailers expecting the recent fall in sales to continue to ease," CBI Principal Economist Martin Sartorius said. Retailers' expected sales balance for October rose to a three-month high of -8. Britain's most recent official retail sales data showed a 0.8% month-on-month growth in sales volumes in August after a sharp 1.1% drop in July, when unusually wet weather upset normal summer spending patterns. The chief executive of supermarket Aldi UK said on Monday that cost of living concerns continued to influence food shopping habits.

ENGLE, N.M. (AP) — While the average lifespan of North America's largest and most rare tortoise species is unknown, biologists have said it could span upward of a century. The “safe harbor agreement” will facilitate the release of captive tortoises on the Armendaris Ranch to establish a free-ranging population. The tortoise is just the latest example of a growing effort to find new homes for endangered species as climate change and other threats push them from their historic habitats. Absent a willingness by wildlife managers to think more broadly, he said, species like the Bolson tortoise could have a bleak future. That work will include getting state and federal permits to release tortoises outside of the enclosures on Turner lands.

☆ UK retail sales slide by most in over two years: CBI

LONDON, Aug 24 (Reuters) - British retail sales fell in August at the fastest rate since March 2021 and most stores are expecting another tough month ahead, an industry survey showed on Thursday. The Confederation of British Industry's monthly balance of retail sales, which compares volumes with a year ago, fell to -44 in August from -25 in July. Expectations for the month ahead improved to -21 from -32, but were still deeply negative. The quarterly business situation balance - a gauge of sentiment among retailers - fell to -14 from +6 in May, the lowest reading this year. The CBI data echoed industry data earlier this week that showed sales growth at British supermarkets slowed in August, reflecting lower inflation as well as a hit to demand from unsettled, unseasonably wet weather.

Life sciences and medical diagnostics company Danaher (DHR) delivered a second-quarter earnings beat on Tuesday, but lowered its outlook for the year. When excluding the impact of Covid-related tests and products, Danaher realized base-business core sales growth of 2%. As a result, management was once again forced to downwardly revise their sales growth outlook for the year. We predict a bioprocessing bottom this year, early next year at the very latest, setting us for a rebound in organic revenue growth. This updated outlook represents a downward revision from the high-single-digit percentage decline previously expected on a core basis and the mid-single-digit percentage growth previously expected for the base business.
