After taking a fresh look at Nordson, we are upgrading our moat rating to wide from narrow, based on switching costs and intangible assets. The moat upgrade boosts our fair value estimate to $257 from $235.
Nordson is poised to benefit from innovation in its end markets, including autonomous vehicles, 5G, and 3D wafer stacking, as new technologies drive demand for its dispensing solutions.
The company regularly invests in M&A to boost revenue growth, which creates the risk of overpaying for acquisition targets.
