bioMerieux released in line Q4 sales numbers, with healthy growth being witnessed across the board. Importantly, the recent spike in influenza infections, respiratory syncytial virus and higher COVID-19 infections resulted in strong demand for respiratory panels. While COVID-19 testing tailwinds are expected to further moderate in the coming quarters, the 2023 guidance remains unchanged, reflecting a healthy outlook for the non-COVID-19 offerings. Overall, considering a slew of launches accompan

bioMerieux’s Q3 sales came in ahead of both AV and consensus expectations. While COVID-19 testing sales continued to weaken (also a sector-wide trend), healthy developments were witnessed in the non-COVID space. Moreover, management also (marginally) improved its 2022 sales growth guidance. Considering that non-COVID testing tailwinds are expected to remain resilient and the re-emerging M&A rumours – given the material sell-off over the past couple of months – our positive recommendation is reit
bioMerieux reported strong Q2 22 sales. Positive momentum was witnessed in Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Industrial Application. Moreover, the recent spike in COVID-19 cases and higher flu market opportunities in the US resulted in strong demand for respiratory panels. Management also (marginally) improved its 2022 guidance. Add on top, notable progress in offering innovation terms and promising testing market dynamics, the sell-off in recent months is worth capitalising.
bioMerieux reported weak Q1 22 sales, with organic sales witnessing a mid-single-digit decline. As expected, COVID-19 testing sales moderated while positive momentum was witnessed across the Microbiology and Industrial segments. Management also reiterated its 2022 guidance. While our estimates should reset marginally lower, the MedTech sell-off in recent months has reinstated the attractiveness of the likes of bioMerieux, especially considering the long-term non-COVID testing market business opp
bioMerieux ended 2021 on a healthy note, with impressive sales and profitability, driven by promising dynamics across segments. This also resulted in impressive dividend growth. While 2022 guidance was on the weaker side – due to fading COVID-19 testing tailwinds, and increasing costs (partly also due to post-pandemic normalisation), it wasn’t a big surprise. While our estimates could reset marginally lower, the sell-off in recent months opens an attractive opportunity, also with respect to M&A
bioMerieux reported healthy Q3 results, with growth across the board. Interestingly, both COVID-19 and routine businesses were beneficiaries in varying degrees. As a result, management upgraded its FY2021 sales growth and profitability guidance. Besides these results reinforcing our positive stock recommendation, they are also an important read-across for testing firms, wherein their ability to withstand erosion in COVID-19 testing via a recovery in routine areas has been a comforting developmen
Despite further normalisation in FilmArray, bioMerieux witnessed recovery/ healthy momentum in most other routine areas. Although, as expected, group-wide sales growth moderation was evident. Importantly, profitability came in ahead of (consensus) expectations due to temporarily lower costs. While the worsening COVID-19 situation, especially in the US, may render some near-term support to FilmArray, the rebound in routine businesses is a major promising signal. Our positive stock recommendation
Organic sales growth decelerated in Q1 21 as demand for FilmArray’s respiratory panel slowed in the US towards the end of the quarter. As the health situation improves in the US, demand for PCR-based testing could decline in the coming quarters. Ergo, FY21 sales guidance has been slashed. The entry of Roche in the syndromic testing space, through GenMark, is also a threat, though the recovery in the routine testing business provides some respite.
Benefitting from sustained demand for COVID-19 testing solutions, bioMerieux reported another quarter of double-digit growth in Q4 20. Interestingly, the FY20 targets were exceeded, both on the sales and profitability front, and management has proposed a dividend of €0.62 per share (vs. FY18: €0.35). The FY21 guidance is also encouraging and growth is likely to be front-end loaded. bioMerieux is banking on its menu-expansion strategy to bolster growth for FilmArray once COVID-19 subsides, but so
The Q3 outperformance was led by the FilmArray product line which benefited from exceptional demand for molecular-based COVID testing and increasing instrument placements. The Industrial applications segment also returned to growth. Although the routine testing businesses saw an improvement, it continues to trade in the red and, as hospital traffic remains subdued, uncertainty remains with respect to a full recovery. Nonetheless, the FY20 guidance implies that organic sales growth could reach a

Despite lower revenue in the microbiology and immunoassays businesses due to a decline in routine testing, bioMerieux reported double-digit organic revenue growth in H1, led by robust demand for COVID-19 tests in the molecular biology business. The resulting operational leverage, favourable product mix and lower selling expenses led to a profitability beat in H1. The favourable sales trend witnessed in H1 should continue in the second half, though the same trend cannot be extrapolated to FY21 ac

Q2 sales were slightly ahead of expectations led by continued demand for molecular biology product lines used in COVID-19 testing. However, the momentum decelerated compared to the previous quarter as the situation worsened in the microbiology and immunoassays businesses – due to less patient traffic in hospitals and the resulting decline in routine testing. Though the company witnessed an improvement in these businesses during the last few weeks of Q2, returning to pre-COVID levels could take t
Q1 sales were significantly ahead of expectations fuelled by increasing demand for FilmArray’s respiratory tests amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While respiratory and recently-developed COVID-19 tests should bolster growth going forward, the number of patients seeking consultations for other diseases is falling substantially. This could result in a slowdown in the routine laboratory business and, in turn, bioMerieux’s immunoassays and microbiology segments (the impact was visible in the last
Q4 19 was largely in line as the pick-up in sales in microbiology, driven by equipments, made up for the slowdown in FilmArray, due to rising competition. However, the guidance for FY20 signals a sales deceleration with China, held back by the Coronavirus being the main drag. Lower sales could also affect profitability in FY20. While bioMerieux plans to introduce a test to detect Coronavirus by Q2 20, it is still behind rival Qiagen in terms of test development.
Sales growth accelerated further in Q3 as immunoassays returned into the black after five consecutive quarters of negative lfl growth. Sustained demand for FilmArray and a pick-up in sales in industrial applications bolstered growth further. Despite this sales beat, management has turned cautious with its FY19 sales outlook – tough comps and heightening competition signals sales deceleration in Q4. With top-line growth momentum fading away, bioMerieux could now take the inorganic route to beef u
