Q3 FY26

TL;DR. Azenta reported Q3 revenue of $161M (up 9% organically) and raised full-year FY26 organic revenue guidance to flat-to-up 1%, though management cautioned that Q4 organic revenue is still expected to decline low single digits due to tough comps, while adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 60 bps YoY to 11.4%.

Bullish

  • + Recurring revenue businesses (Biorepository and C&I) drove strong Sample Management Solutions growth of 9% organically
  • + Repurchased ~$50M of shares (2.3M shares) under the 2025 Repurchase Program
Bearish

  • − Adjusted gross margin declined 140 bps YoY to 46.2%, with SMS gross margin down 750 bps on Automated Stores pressure
  • − Q4 organic revenue guided to decline low single digits due to tough multi-omics comp
  • − Automated Stores remained below prior year levels due to slower bookings from macro-driven budget constraints
  • − Sanger sequencing continues to weigh on multi-omics margins and revenue
