Illumina reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, with revenue totaling $1.04 billion, a 3.3% decrease from the same period in 2024. The company's earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter were $0.97, surpassing analysts' expectations of $0.96 by $0.01. This positive earnings surprise has led to an upward revision of Illumina's full-year EPS estimates by Leerink Partners, with analyst P.

In addition to its financial performance, Illumina recently unveiled DRAGEN v4.4, an enhanced version of its bioinformatics platform.

The company's strong first-quarter performance and innovative product offerings have contributed to a positive outlook for the remainder of the year.
