Analysts at TD Cowen reiterated a "Buy" rating and maintained a $150 price target for Agilent, citing strong organic revenue growth of 6.1% in Q3 FY2025, which outperformed expectations.

Meanwhile, Bernstein/SocGen maintained a "Market Perform" rating with a $125 target, noting five consecutive quarters of core revenue acceleration.
