This call stands until the filings change it — the engine re-rates on new 10-K/10-Q/8-K facts, never on price moves. Hit Watch above to follow NOVTU (Pro alerts fire the moment a rating flips), or catch every change in Saturday’s Flip Side. How to read a call

The read

Weak on both the fundamentals and the price — little to like at the current level.

NOVANTA INC shows $981M in FY2025 revenue (+3.3% YoY), a 5.5% net margin, and 4.1% ROE.

Supporting the case: conservative balance sheet (liabilities/equity 0.37x).
