Market Wire, June, 2005
This morning, Senior Biotechnology and Life Sciences Analyst John Sullivan initiated coverage of Fisher Scientific International Inc. (NYSE: FSH) with an Outperform rating. Mr. Sullivan's investment thesis is based on Fisher Scientific's record of internal and acquired growth, the expansion of its strong franchise in life science consumables, and its strategy of adding higher margin products to its mix. Moreover, he believes Fisher Scientific currently is valued at an unwarranted discount to similar consumable life sciences product companies.
