Thibault Boutherin has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Lonza Group Ltd’s potential for growth and value. The company is expected to continue its strong business trends into 2026, with projections of low-teens organic growth and margin expansion. This positive outlook is supported by the attractive valuation of Lonza’s stock, which is currently near the lower end of its historical range, presenting a compelling entry point for investors.
Additionally, macroeconomic factors such as potential lower interest rates and a shift in investment portfolios towards healthcare are anticipated to further bolster Lonza’s stock performance. The announcement of 2026 guidance in January is seen as a catalyst that could reinforce market confidence and support a re-rating of the shares. Overall, Boutherin’s analysis suggests that Lonza is well-positioned to capitalize on these favorable conditions, offering significant upside potential for investors.
