From THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.'s FY2025 10-K, filed Feb 26, 2026 · read the filing
THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC makes measuring and control instruments. It took in $44.56B last year, which makes it a large company. Of every dollar it sells, about 15 cents is left as profit.
The financial picture is led by profitability, with growth and debt worth watching.
A conclusion from the filings, not a recommendation. Detailed figures and supporting evidence appear in their dedicated sections below.
Financial health
Generally healthy, with a few things to watch.

Improved: +145.7%
$4.01B to $9.85BCritical
Why it matters: A falling cash pile is only a warning if the company is consuming it. Paying down debt, buying back stock and paying a dividend all reduce cash by choice.
Deteriorated: +26.1%
$31.07B to $39.17BSignificant
Why it matters: Rising debt is not automatically bad — borrowing to build something that earns more than the interest is ordinary. It matters when it grows faster than the profit meant to service it.
How the latest move compares (quote live), and what was published around it
TMO fell 2.69% on the latest quote. The average Technology company tracked here moved −1.26%, and the S&P 500 −1.04%. That is 1.4 points below its sector and 1.7 points below the market.
Expectations
Not from the filings — what other people are betting on, and what the price already assumes.
The growth rate someone buying today is paying for, against what the company has delivered
At today's price, the market is paying for free cash flow to grow by about 17% a year for the next 10 years. Over the last 10 years it grew by about 10% a year.
The essentials
Each answered from the filings, with the numbers behind it.
Yes. It keeps about 15 cents of every dollar of sales as profit, earning $6.70B last year.
Slowly. Sales grew 3.9% last year.
Manageable, but notable. Clearing its debt would take about 4.2 years of cash flow. For every $1 it owes, it owns $1.94 in assets.
Core operating and valuation reference metrics
Whether the dividend is covered by what the business actually earns
It pays out 9 cents of every dollar of profit and keeps the rest, which leaves the payment comfortably covered. It paid out 8% of the cash its operations generated. It has paid in each of the last 12 years.
GoodNext payment expected around , projected from how regularly it has paid before rather than from a date the company has announced.
Figures from the FY2025 annual filing
Last year it earned $6.70B and generated $7.82B of cash from operations.

Every figure above traces back to a filing in the timeline, each linked to the document itself.
The 1,261 subsidiaries named in its 10-K, incorporated across 95 places. A filer lists the significant ones and may leave the rest out, so this is the floor rather than the full count.
Every company's figures are checked for internal consistency: the balance sheet adding up, figures sharing one currency, cash flow and share counts within plausible ranges, and how recent the latest annual report is. Nothing here changes a figure.
Financial figures are from TMO's 10-K for fiscal year 2025 (period ending 2025-12-31, filed Feb 26, 2026), reported under the US GAAP taxonomy. View the source filing. Total liabilities were not tagged directly and were calculated as assets minus equity.
3 of 4 scored areas had enough reported figures to judge
The score averages profitability, growth, debt and accounting. Accounting had too few reported figures and is left out of the average rather than counted as a weakness, so a company is never marked down for a figure it did not publish. Cash generation is shown for context and already feeds profitability. Valuation is scored separately, because a share price says nothing about whether the business is sound. 8 of the 9 Piotroski checks could be evaluated. How the score works
Each year scored only from its annual report as it was first filed
| Fiscal year | Health | F-Score | Scored from |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | 7.3 | 6/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 26, 2026 |
| FY2024 | 7.3 | 7/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 20, 2025 |
| FY2023 | 6.0 | 6/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 22, 2024 |
| FY2022 | 7.3 | 6/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 23, 2023 |
| FY2021 | 8.7 | 5/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 24, 2022 |
| FY2020 | 10.0 | 8/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 25, 2021 |
A later restatement never reaches back into an earlier year, and every year is scored without a share price, so the latest point can differ a little from the headline score, which uses today's price.
Every check behind the three models, and what each one tests
6 of 8 checks passed
Nine yes-or-no tests of whether this year's finances improved on last year's. One could not be evaluated and is excluded from the total rather than counted as a failure.
4.22
In the safe zone
For this model, above 2.99 is safe and below 1.81 is distress.
Distance from bankruptcy, from a model fitted on companies that did and did not go bust. It describes a balance sheet's shape today; it does not forecast a failure.

Every figure above comes from the FY2025 filing as filed with the SEC.
Improved: +5.6%
$7.34B to $7.75BNotable
Why it matters: Profit from running the business, before interest and tax. Less exposed than profit to one-off financing and tax items, so a clearer read on the business itself.
Improved: +5.8%
$6.33B to $6.70BNotable
Why it matters: Profit swings far more than sales do, and one-off items — a legal settlement, a tax charge, an asset sale — move it without the underlying business changing.
Deteriorated: -13.4%
$7.27B to $6.29BNotable
Why it matters: Cash left after paying for the plant that produced it — the money genuinely available for dividends, buybacks or paying down debt. Harder to flatter than profit.
Improved: +7.0%
$16.61 to $17.77Notable
Why it matters: Profit divided by the shares in issue at the period end, so it sits close to but not on the company's own reported figure. It can rise with no growth in profit when the company buys back stock — read it beside the share count.
Improved: -1.1%
381.3M to 377.3MNotable
Why it matters: The company bought back stock, so each remaining holding owns slightly more of it. Worth checking it was not funded by borrowing.
Changed: +9.1%
$583.0M to $636.0MNotable
Why it matters: Cash handed to shareholders. A rise can be a higher dividend or simply more shares, and a cut is a decision the company explains in its own filing — neither is rated here.
Changed: +8.9%
$1.40B to $1.52BNotable
Why it matters: Neither good nor bad on its own. Heavy spending is a company building capacity or a company struggling to stand still, and the two look identical in this figure.

Improved: +10.5%
$10.86B to $11.99BNotable
Why it matters: Sales are what everything else is built on. A fall can be lost customers, lower prices, or a business the company sold — the filing itself says which.

3 other measures barely moved. Figures compare the two most recent annual filings — read the latest one. Moves are graded on fixed lines — 5%, 15% and 40% for amounts, and 1, 3 and 8 points for margins — as notable, significant or critical. Nothing here reads the management commentary, which is where a company explains its own numbers.
These coincide with the move in time. None is presented as its cause: a price can move on news that names no company, on the wider market, or on trading that no document records.

Discounted at 8%–10% a year, with growth settling to 2.5% after 10 years. Those rates are ordinary choices, not measurements: across that range the assumed growth works out between 14% and 19%. This describes what the price implies — it is not a forecast, and not a view on whether the price is right.
Opinions from 35 analysts covering this company, as of . Their views, not this site's.
Of 35 analysts publishing on this company, 11 say strong buy, 19 say buy and 5 say hold. Analysts are paid to publish a view and are wrong often; the split above says how much they agree with each other, which is the part a single headline rating hides.
Published by Finnhub. Analyst coverage skews towards larger companies and towards optimism — sell ratings are rare across the whole market, so a company with none is ordinary rather than endorsed.
Measured on and published about a week later — this is a fortnightly snapshot, not a live position.
About 1.4% of this company's shares have been borrowed and sold by people expecting to buy them back cheaper. That is a bet the price falls. Those people can be wrong, and when a heavily shorted share rises they have to buy it back, which pushes it up further.
Collected by FINRA from broker-dealers twice a month. It counts positions, not intentions, and some of it is hedging rather than a directional bet against the company.
Nothing in this section is a figure this company reported about itself. These are expectations and positions — what the price implies, what analysts have published, what short sellers are betting, and what large funds held at the last count. WylthIQ reports them; it does not endorse them, does not forecast prices, and takes no view on whether any of them will turn out to be right.
The trailing P/E is 38.5x — a high multiple relative to the current trailing profit.
