01 · the industry itself · before any single company

How has Scientific & Technical Instruments moved against S&P 500?

The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 16% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 10% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Scientific & Technical Instruments, equal-weighted, based at 200 S&P 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of 17 of its 19 companies — the 2 with too short a price record are ranked in the scorecard but cannot sit in this line. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Scientific & Technical Instruments outperforming S&P 500?

Scientific & Technical Instruments has outperformed S&P 500 by 6% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 9.8%. 6 of 19 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Mesa Laboratories, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +29.3%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Bottom line

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%

Garmin Ltd. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 81.1% evidence confidence.

Mesa Laboratories, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.

How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action

Coherent Corp. has the strongest one-year price move in Scientific & Technical Instruments at +165.7%. Mesa Laboratories, Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +27.8%. 6 of 19 covered companies are above zero on that measure.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Garmin Ltd. has the highest Revenue among the 19 Scientific & Technical Instruments companies compared here, at $7,671 million. Coherent Corp. is next at $7,119 million. ESCO Technologies Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 30.7%, so level and change sit with different companies. 10 of 19 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Garmin Ltd. is the scale leader at $7,671 million, 7.8% ahead of Coherent Corp.. ESCO Technologies Inc.'s growth is 30.7% from a $1,248 million base, with 18 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Gap7.8% versus #2 · Coherent Corp.

Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods

Coverage10/19 companies · 330 observations

Investor read: Garmin Ltd. is the scale benchmark; ESCO Technologies Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Garmin Ltd.'s growth falls below ESCO Technologies Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

LeaderGarmin Ltd. · 30.4%

Gap28.3% versus #2 · Keysight Technologies, Inc.

Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods

Coverage17/19 companies · 300 observations

Investor read: Garmin Ltd. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods

Coverage10/19 companies · 333 observations

Investor read: Garmin Ltd. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Return On Capital Employed

Ituran Location and Control Ltd. has the highest ROCE among the 19 Scientific & Technical Instruments companies compared here, at 8.6%. Garmin Ltd. is next at 6.9%. Keysight Technologies, Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +1.9 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 18 of 19 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Ituran Location and Control Ltd. leads ROCE at 8.6%, 1.7 percentage points above Garmin Ltd.. Keysight Technologies, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +1.9 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

Coverage18/19 companies · 323 observations

Investor read: Ituran Location and Control Ltd. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

MKS Inc. has the lowest PEG among the 19 Scientific & Technical Instruments companies compared here, at 1.13×. Garmin Ltd. is next at 1.22×. USBC, Inc. has the lowest P/E at 0.95×, so level and change sit with different companies. 6 of 19 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: MKS Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.13×, 7.4% below Garmin Ltd.. Only 6 of 19 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Coverage6/19 companies · 72 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

10 · before the conclusion, check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Scientific & Technical Instruments comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 6 of the 19 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
6 companies have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker.

11 · evidence and freshness

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 19 Scientific & Technical Instruments companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Sep 2026 and market data through 2026-09-16. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Scientific & Technical Instruments company comparison FAQs

These 22 answers restate the Scientific & Technical Instruments comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 19 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Sep 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-09-16. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Scientific & Technical Instruments sector outperforming S&P 500?

Which Scientific & Technical Instruments company is largest by revenue?

Garmin Ltd. leads with revenue of $7,671 million, based on 10 of 19 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

Which Scientific & Technical Instruments company is growing fastest?

ESCO Technologies Inc. has the fastest current revenue growth at 30.7%, across 9 of 19 comparable companies.

Which Scientific & Technical Instruments company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Which Scientific & Technical Instruments company has the lowest comparable PEG?

MKS Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.13, among 6 of 19 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Scientific & Technical Instruments comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Sep 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

Which Scientific & Technical Instruments company is the biggest?

Garmin Ltd. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $7,671 million, ahead of Coherent Corp. at $7,119 million. That covers 10 of 19 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.

Which Scientific & Technical Instruments company has the best profit margins?
