Market growth and mid-teens operating margin targeted within years

BioRad sits at a unique position today, balancing a still-mixed demand environment against a more active focus on... Portfolio priorities, margins, and capital allocation. The three things I would say is marching towards that market growth rate. Get to that mid-teens operating margin as that within the next few years target. And then finally, driving further free cash flow expansion from where we are today. In the third quarter, non-GAAP operating margin improved, I think, 100 basis points year over year to 12.8%. We don't. It's kind of a continuation of the third quarter as we think about the fourth quarter. So really, they're going to carry into the 27 period. Open the document at this passage

Q3 FY26 earnings call · Nov 4, 2026
Q3 FY26

TL;DR. Q3 returned to currency-neutral revenue growth, with Clinical Diagnostics and Droplet Digital PCR leading gains, while non-GAAP margins expanded and management expects a 5% to 6% sequential Q4 revenue ramp. Life Science revenue and free cash flow declined, full-year revenue guidance remains pressured, and restructuring charges plus an intangible-asset impairment drove a GAAP operating loss while Q4 gross margin is expected to decline sequentially.

Bullish
  • + Total revenue returned to growth, rising 0.5% as reported and 0.7% currency neutral. new
  • + Clinical Diagnostics grew 2.7% as reported and 2.8% currency neutral, led by quality systems and diabetes products. new

  • + Management expects a sequential reported revenue ramp of 5% to 6% from Q3 to Q4. new
  • + Management reaffirmed its full-year 2026 free-cash-flow outlook of approximately $290 million to $340 million. new
Bearish
  • − Life Science revenue declined 2.8% as reported and 2.4% currency neutral, driven by lower process chromatography sales and academic-market challenges. new
  • − Full-year 2026 currency-neutral revenue guidance remains a decline of 3.0% to growth of 0.5%, with growth expected near the midpoint. new
  • − Academic and government funding remained under pressure, with NIH outlays down approximately 15% and no recovery assumed in Q4 guidance. new
  • − China's updated procurement guidelines create pricing pressure and an estimated middle-single-digit-million-dollar revenue impact in 2027. new
