TECH--
Bio-Techne's Protein Sciences segment, which accounts for approximately 72% of net sales, drove the company's performance. The segment's success is attributed to high-quality biological reagents and proteomic analytical tools. Additionally, the company's Diagnostics and Spatial Biology segment contributed significantly to the overall revenue, representing about 28% of net revenues.
The company's global operations and new product launches, including over 400 new products introduced in fiscal 2025, have further bolstered its market position. Bio-Techne's strategic acquisitions, such as Lunaphore and Wilson Wolf, have also played a crucial role in its growth. The company's focus on innovation and acquisition has been instrumental in its success.
In contrast, ICON faces growth challenges due to booking and cancellation issues, leading to a downgrade by Citi Research. The average one-year price target for TECH is $64.26, indicating a potential upside of 17.50% from the current trading price.
Despite the challenges, Bio-Techne remains optimistic about its future outlook. The company plans to continue its strategic acquisition strategy, with a significant focus on completing the acquisition of Wilson Wolf by 2027. Bio-Techne also anticipates capital additions of approximately $42 million in fiscal 2026, financed through available cash and operational cash flow.
