QIAGEN reported Q3 2025 results that beat expectations, with net sales of $533 million—up 6 % at constant exchange rates—and an adjusted diluted earnings‑per‑share of $0.61, a $0.03 (5.2 %) beat over the consensus estimate of $0.58. The earnings beat was driven by strong demand for the company’s flagship QIAstat‑Dx and QuantiFERON platforms, which grew 11 % at constant rates, and by disciplined cost management that kept operating expenses in line with revenue growth.
Segment‑level performance underpinned the top‑line growth: Diagnostic solutions generated $209 million (+6.1 % YoY), Sample technologies $170 million (+4.9 % YoY), Genomics/NGS $61 million (+10.9 % YoY), PCR/Nucleic‑acid amplification $75 million (+1.4 % YoY), and Other $18 million (+28.6 % YoY). The high growth in Genomics/NGS reflects expanding single‑cell and next‑generation sequencing demand, while the surge in the Other segment is largely attributable to new product launches and increased adoption of existing offerings.
Adjusted operating income margin rose to 29.6 % in Q3, up from 29.5 % in the prior year, and the company reaffirmed a full‑year 2025 margin outlook of 29.5 %. The margin expansion results from a higher mix of high‑margin diagnostic solutions and effective cost control, offsetting modest inflation in raw‑material costs and currency headwinds that the company noted in its commentary.
Management raised its full‑year adjusted diluted EPS target to $2.38 CER from $2.35 CER, signaling confidence in sustained demand and continued cost discipline. The company also announced the acquisition of Parse Biosciences for approximately $225 million upfront, with up to $55 million in milestone payments, and expects the deal to add roughly $40 million in sales in 2026. In addition, QIAGEN confirmed a $500 million synthetic share‑repurchase program to be completed in early January 2026, bringing total shareholder returns above $1 billion since 2024.
CEO Thierry Bernard highlighted ongoing challenges such as currency movements, tariffs, and the U.S. government shutdown’s impact on academic and government sales, but emphasized that the company’s core segments remain resilient. CFO Roland Sackers noted that the strong cash generation is enabling higher shareholder returns and that the company is exploring further opportunities to increase the repurchase program. Market reaction to the results was muted; shares fell 3.4 % the day after the earnings release, a dip attributed to the announced CEO transition and the near‑term dilution from the Parse acquisition, despite the positive financial performance.
