For the full year, analysts expect BAX to report EPS of $2.50, up 32.3% from $1.89 in fiscal 2024. Similarly, its EPS is expected to rise 7.6% year-over-year to $2.69 in fiscal 2026.
BAX stock has underperformed the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 10.9% gains over the past 52 weeks, with shares down 16.8% during this period. Similarly, it underperformed the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLV) 10.3% dip over the same time frame.
BAX's decline in performance is a direct result of the considerable expenses resulting from the damage caused by Hurricane Helene to its North Cove facility, which is a critical supplier of IV fluids in the U.S. This indicates weaknesses in the company's operational management and underscores the need for improvements to mitigate such risks in the future.
On May 1, BAX shares closed down more than 1% after the company reported its Q1 results. Its revenue stood at $2.6 billion, up 5.4% year-over-year. The company's adjusted EPS declined 4.6% year-over-year to $0.62.
Analysts' consensus opinion on BAX stock is reasonably bullish, with an overall 'Moderate Buy' rating. Out of 15 analysts covering the stock, five advise a 'Strong Buy' rating, nine give a 'Hold,' and one recommends a 'Moderate Sell.' BAX's average analyst price target is $36.28, indicating a potential upside of 28.4% from the current levels.

TSMC Q2 profit surges 60%, reaches historic high
TAIPEI (Reuters) -TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, posted a 60.7% jump in second-quarter net profit on Thursday, beating market forecasts and hitting a historic high as it benefited from surging demand for semiconductors used in artificial intelligence applications. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, whose customers include Apple and Nvidia, saw April-June net profit rise to T$398.3 billion ($13.53 billion). The profit handily beat a T$377.9 billion LSEG SmartEstimate, which is weighted toward forecasts from analysts who are more consistently accurate.

TSMC's second-quarter profit soars nearly 61% as AI chip demand stays strong
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company on Thursday reported a near 61 year-on-year rise in second-quarter profit, beating estimates and hitting a fresh high as demand for artificial intelligence chips stays strong. Here are TSMC's first-quarter results versus LSEG SmartEstimates: TSMC's net revenue in the June quarter rose 38.65% from a year ago to NT$933.80 billion, also beating estimates. TSMC, the world's largest contract chip manufacturer, has benefited from the megatrend towards AI as it gains from producing advanced processors for clients including Nvidia and Apple. However, the company faces potential headwinds from the trade policy of the U.S. President Donald Trump, who has threatened steep "reciprocal tariffs" on Taiwan. Taiwan faces 32% tariffs announced in April and is in the midst of trade talks with the U.S., according to local media reports. Trump earlier this month also warned of potential additional tariffs on semiconductors. U.S. export controls have also restricted TSMC's business with China, as well that of its key clients such as Nvidia and AMD. However, amid a thawing of trade relations between Beijing and Washington, Nvidia and AMD said earlier this week that they had received government assurances allowing them to ship products to China.

Why Did Nvidia's CEO Call China's AI Chips World-Class?
American chip giant Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang hailed China's artificial intelligence (AI) chips as 'world-class' at the opening ceremony of the China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing today. He praised the large language models (LLMs) developed by Chinese tech firms such as DeepSeek, Tencent (TCEHY), and Alibaba (BABA) as drivers of innovation in the country.

Huang's remarks come as Nvidia prepares to resume sales of its export-compliant H20 AI chips to China, following the lifting of the export ban by the Trump Administration. After this announcement, NVDA stock soared to a new 52-week high of $172.40 on July 15. Meanwhile, Nvidia is also developing a new export-compliant chip for China by modifying its existing Blackwell RTX Pro 6000 processor. Huang Is Excited to Serve the Chinese AI Market Yesterday, Huang expressed excitement that Nvidia could start serving China's AI market, which is valued at $50 billion. He also added that the U.S. government has ensured that it will provide the required export licenses for the chips. These tailor-made H20 chips are less powerful than those available in the U.S., in order to limit their potential misuse for enhancing China's military capabilities. The CEO also stated that China's open-source AI model is a 'catalyst for global progress… giving every country and industry a chance to join the AI revolution.' At the same time, Huang stressed the vital role of Nvidia's chips in enabling innovation among Chinese tech firms. He noted that more than 1.5 million developers in China rely on Nvidia platforms to bring their ideas to life. During an interview on July 13, Huang stated that China's military is unlikely to rely on American AI chips, as the export ban could be reinstated at any time. He assured that the White House 'does not need to worry' about Nvidia's technology being used to enhance Chinese military capabilities. Reports suggest that Huang's recent meeting with Trump, and his reassurances, prompted the administration to consider lifting the chip export ban. Is NVDA Stock a Good Buy? average Nvidia price target of $177.57 implies 4% upside potential from current levels. Year-to-date, NVDA stock has surged 27.1%.
