Nordson (NASDAQ:NDSN) reported strong Q4 results, with adjusted earnings of $2.78 per share and revenue of $744 million, up 3.5% YoY. However, disappointing Q1 guidance led to an 8% stock price drop. EBITDA rose 4% to $241 million. Full-year 2025 outlook is positive, with EPS expected between $9.70 and $10.50 and revenue between $2.75 billion and $2.87 billion.
Q1 guidance fell short, with earnings per share projected at $1.95 to $2.15 and revenue between $615 million and $655 million. This missed analyst estimates, causing concern among investors. CEO cited holiday slowdowns and cautious consumer spending for the subdued forecast.
Despite Q1 challenges, Nordson remains confident in its long-term growth strategy and cash flow generation. The company is optimistic about its ability to navigate evolving macroeconomic conditions and generate solid financial performance. The weak Q1 outlook is seen as a short-term setback in light of the overall positive full-year forecast.
