Mettler-Toledo reported first-quarter earnings of $8.19 per share, surpassing the estimated $7.90 per share. The company's net income for the quarter was $163.6 million, or $7.81 per share.

Mettler-Toledo's adjusted operating margin fell by 210 basis points to 26.8%. The company's strong performance in the previous quarter, where it beat analysts' revenue expectations by 3.6%, reporting revenues of $1.05 billion, up 11.8% year on year, has set a high bar for future quarters. However, the company has lowered its profit forecast amid tariff challenges, which may impact investor sentiment in the coming months.
