Nordson Corp (NDSN) recently reported mixed Q1 2025 results with a 2.8% revenue decline driven by a 9% drop in organic sales, offset by 8% growth from acquisitions [8], [9]. Despite this, the company issued positive Q2 2025 sales guidance of $650-$690 million, projecting growth driven by strength in optical sensors, measurement & control, and specific product lines [8]. Nordson's stock price jumped 11.8% to $187.29 following strong performance in some business segments [2], but analyst earnings estimates for the current quarter have been lowered [1].
