Demand Weakness Easing Soon, and Product and Pricing Strategies Well-Placed for Maintained Growth

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Despite the slow market growth of balances, Mettler has consistently produced robust earnings growth with its marketing and efficiency initiatives along with share repurchases.

Bears

Mettler’s large share-buyback program could be destroying shareholder value, with the firm continually adding leverage to buy back what we view as overpriced stock.
