Bio-Rad Laboratories Soars 17.38% on Regulatory Shifts, Industry Trends

Bio-Rad Laboratories' stock surged 17.38% in pre-market trading on August 1, 2025, driven by a series of regulatory and industry developments that have captured investor attention.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposal to repeal all greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards for light-duty vehicles has sparked significant interest in the environmental sector. This regulatory shift could have far-reaching implications for companies involved in emissions monitoring and control, potentially benefiting Bio-Rad Laboratories, which offers a range of environmental testing solutions.

Additionally, the Senate Banking Committee's response to digital asset regulations has highlighted the growing importance of regulatory compliance in the financial sector. As digital assets become more integrated into mainstream finance, companies like Bio-Rad Laboratories, which provide analytical tools for financial institutions, may see increased demand for their services.

Furthermore, the FY26 LHHS Senate Report, which includes appropriations for Departments of Labor, Health, and Human Services, underscores the ongoing support for healthcare and life sciences research. This funding could drive innovation in the biotechnology sector, where Bio-Rad Laboratories is a key player, offering a wide array of life science research tools and reagents.
