#5 - Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE:TMO)
Biotechnology, and particularly gene editing, is a key area expected to benefit from robotics and AI. As gene editing technology becomes a reality, there will be an increasing demand for DNA extraction. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO) excels in this area.
The company supplies robots that are designed to automate research tasks that require a high degree of precision and adaptability. To that end, Thermo Fisher is forecasting revenue from its Laboratory Products and Biopharma division to reach $22.8 billion, which is approximately 50% of the company’s total revenue.
TMO stock is flat in 2024 so far. However, on two separate occasions, it has hit resistance right around the $600 price level. The consensus of analysts tracked by MarketBeat indicates that the stock may hit that level in the next 12 months. In April, HSBC offered a price target of $670 for the stock.
