AI Summary

5.0
Neutral

Avantor's recovery is increasingly credible on restored profitability and strong free cash flow, but with organic revenue still negative and leverage high, investors should treat AVTR's recovery-priced valuation as justified only if BMP/VWR demand turns sustainably positive and supports gradual deleveraging.
