Episode description as stored
This is Matt Reustle. Today, we are breaking down Agilent. If you aren't familiar with Agilent, it is a $30 billion market cap company at the time of this recording, and they focus on one of the more interesting niches: equipment and instruments sold into laboratories.
Its equipment is being sold to the life sciences sector, diagnostics, applied chemical markets, and some very unique R&D work. My guest is Mark de Vos, fund manager at Troy Asset Management, and he brings us through the story of Agilent. It was born within Hewlett-Packard, which spun off a little more than 25 years ago, and Mark helps break down highly complex concepts like chromatography.
This is a deeply ingrained industry player with a unique razor and razor blade model and an evolving business. Please enjoy this breakdown of Agilent.
