BofA Securities reports that the Life Sciences Tools sector struggled in fiscal year 2024. Spending by pharmaceutical and biotech companies dropped after pandemic-related overspending, and demand in China stayed weak. This led some Life Sciences companies to lower their already-conservative fiscal year revenue forecasts as the year progressed. For most of fiscal year 2024, Life Sciences company valuations remained higher than pre-COVID levels but declined after the U.S. elections. Looking ahead to fiscal year 2025, initial forecasts and management comments suggest a mixed outlook. The first half of the year is expected to mirror the challenges of late fiscal year 2024, while the second half could see improvement due to easier year-over-year comparisons, potential economic stimulus in China, and a broader market recovery. After being cautious for most of the past year, the analyst sees some positive signs. The bioprocess market, important for certain Core Tools vendors, has been improving steadily and is expected to stabilize in 2025. Although China’s stimulus has taken longer than expected, it is starting to lead to some new orders. Valuations are still higher than the historical average, but they aren’t as high as in previous years, creating some good opportunities for stock picking. BofA upgraded Danaher Corp DHR to Buy from Neutral, maintaining the price target of $290 . In 2024, Danaher struggled with challenges like reduced bioprocessing inventory, a slowdown in China, and lower spending from biotech and pharma customers. Also Read: Danaher’s Q3 Earnings Boosted By Bioprocessing Order Growth, Analyst Maintain Stock Rating Analysts believe that bioprocessing, an important market, is nearly back to normal and should see steady demand in 2025. Although China is still facing difficulties, BofA expects a strong increase in orders in the fourth quarter due to stimulus efforts, with positive effects likely starting in 2025. BofA has also upgraded Revvity RVTY from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $138 . The company is at a turning point after making significant business changes in recent years. While management did not provide guidance for fiscal year 2025 at the recent Analyst Day, the long-term strategy remains largely the same. Even though the market is stabilizing in FY25, Revvity’s growth is expected to be below its 6-8% target range. As short-term industry challenges continue to lessen, BofA expects Revvity to perform well, bolstered by recent acquisitions. Price Action: At last check Friday, DHR stock was down 0.15% at $234.14, and RVTY stock was down 1.56% at $114.21.

Qatar tribune Agencies Gaza The Israeli military has continued “its intensive land, air and sea aggression on northern Gaza for 60 days” that also wounded 10,000 others, Gaza’s Media Office said. A statement by the office on Telegram said 2,400 of the 3,700 people who were killed or missing were “buried” under the rubble. During the offensive, the Israeli forces also detained 1,750 people, the office added. “The occupation also targeted and prevented the work of civil defence crews in the governorate, in addition to its destruction of vital sectors,” most notably the health sector and water networks, it said. The statement said the condition of the sanitation facilities, infrastructure and road networks exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza, declaring the region “disaster-stricken in every sense of the word”. The Media Office also said a decision by the UN refugee agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) to halt the delivery of much-needed aid to the hunger-stricken, besieged territory is “shocking and surprising”. In a statement, the office blamed Israel for the “dangerous ramifications” of the move and called on UNRWA to resume the delivery of aid via other border crossings. Earlier, UNRWA said its decision to stop delivering aid via the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom to Israelis) crossing was due to security concerns. “We urge to uphold its humanitarian responsibilities and retract the decision that is going to threaten the lives of more than two million people, especially women and children,” it said. UNRWA has said humanitarian aid reaching Gaza for the past year of war has been “nowhere near enough” for its 2.2 million population. “While attacks continue, people, including children, are facing hunger, living in shelters and tents, and relying on humanitarian aid,” UNRWA said on X. According to its count, only 65 aid trucks per day had been able to enter Gaza this past month, compared with a pre-war average of 500. International aid organisations have repeatedly raised alarm over the deteriorating conditions in Gaza, warning that civilians are on the brink of famine. They have said aid shipments reaching the enclave are now at their lowest since the start of the war. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini has said the agency “remains the backbone of humanitarian response” in Gaza. In an address in Cairo, he called for the use of “a robust international legal and political framework” to ensure the continuation of humanitarian aid to Gaza. “Without this, humanitarians, however selfless and courageous, cannot stay and deliver,” he added. The UN agency recently announced it was stopping aid deliveries to Gaza from the key Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing between Israel and Gaza due to the deteriorating security situation. Meanwhile, the Israeli military on Monday declared another of the hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip to be dead. The hostage in question is a 21-year-old Israeli-American soldier born in New York, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) wrote on social media platform X. He was killed during the Hamas-led October 7 attacks on Israel and his body has been held in the Gaza Strip ever since, according to the IDF, citing intelligence. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a group that represents the family members of hostages still held in Gaza as well as the Israeli communities attacked on October 7, said that the soldier, a tank commander, had been abducted along with other troops that day. Hamas and other groups crossed the border from the Gaza Strip into Israel on October 7 last year, killing around 1,200 people and abducting more than 250 others. Israel responded by pounding Gaza with airstrikes and launching a ground offensive into the Palestinian territory. At least 44,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began, according to the Hamas-controlled health authority. Many of the 100 hostages still unaccounted for are no longer believed to be alive. They include holders of dual nationality, including US citizens. Meanwhile, the armed wing of Hamas, the Qassam Brigades, said its fighters have targeted “enemy positions” in the kibbutzim of Nirim and Ein HaShlosha in southern Israel with several rockets.At least 44,466 people have been killed and 105,358 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, 2023, the enclave’s Health Ministry said, on Monday. Of those, 37 Palestinians were killed and 108 wounded in the latest 24-hour reporting period, the ministry added.

Among them is Sumit Kumar, a 20-year-old, who has become a sought-after drone pilot during the wedding season. Sumit, who started as an assistant photographer, quickly adapted to the growing demand for aerial photography , offering services that blend technology with tradition, making every wedding unique. Flying drones over wedding guests, capturing mesmerizing aerial shots and even delivering garlands to the couple have made his work a favourite among locals. "No matter how grand the wedding is, I make every guest look up when I fly my drone," he said with a smile. Earlier this week, he stole the show at a village wedding when he used his drone to deliver garlands to the couple standing on a lotus-shaped stage.

With a deft flick of the remote, he lowered the drone, allowing the groom to take the garland and place around the bride's neck, earning cheers and applause from the crowd. The spectacle did not end there -- he sent the drone soaring again to retrieve another garland before placing it on the couple, creating a moment that left guests reaching for their phones. Sumit has an assistant who helps transport the drone to various functions on a motorcycle to functions across Ballia and nearby districts. Drones have become a must-have at weddings in the region, with pilots like him charging anywhere between Rs 8,000 and Rs 40,000 per event, depending on the complexity and duration of the service. Awdhesh Singh, a mobile phone shop owner, who supplies drones and their parts to photographers said that the trend is rapidly gaining attention in rural areas. "Drones offer amazing wedding photos and create a buzz among guests. They are also more cost-effective than hiring a troupe of dancers," Singh explained. During the off-season, Sumit and other drone pilots like Pushkar Kumar take bookings for religious and political events, though wedding season remains the most lucrative, with demands from nearby districts and cities like Varanasi. Pushkar, who also prefers working in rural areas, said that there are fewer permissions and regulations to deal with in villages, and the locals are thrilled to see technology in action. He aspires to turn his passion for drones into a full-time career, hoping that government schemes like the 'Namo Drone Didi' initiative, which empowers rural women with agricultural drones, will expand to include support for photographers and drone operators like him. Experts suggest that the scheme was launched to capitalise on the rising popularity of drones among the youth. According to market reports, India's drone industry is expected to grow from USD 2.71 billion in 2022 to USD 13 billion by 2030, with drones being used in a variety of sectors. Drone operators like Pushakar and Sumit want to be a part of this growth. Sumit said that he paid Rs 15,000 to a Delhi institute to learn drone operations. He believes that there are a lot of possibilities to explore ways in which drones can be used beyond photography. He said it has huge potential in the future and added that he plans to start a drone training academy in Varanasi. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
