Q4 raise precedes 2027 growth trajectory

Illumina said it raised Q4 and full-year top- and bottom-line expectations, remained on a trajectory toward high single-digit growth in 2027 and 500 basis points of margin expansion ex-M&A, but declined to commit to 2027 guidance.

5 source passages
This year has been fantastic for Illumina. We were beating the expectation for Q3 and also raised for Q4, so raised for the full year, both on the The top line and the bottom line, so we feel really good where we are. That framework still holds to get us to high single-digit in 2027. And we also committed to an expansion of our margins of 500 basis points ex-M&A, and we're on track to deliver that also. Well, I'm not here to commit to any guidance for 2027, but that's what we communicated in our strategy, and we are in that trajectory. Open the document at this passage

AI Brief

Q4 FY25 earnings call · Feb 5, 2026
Q4 FY25

TL;DR. Illumina reported Q4 2025 results above expectations, with 20% ex-China clinical consumables growth and full-year ex-China revenue up 2%, and guided 2026 total revenue of $4.5–$4.6 billion (4–6% reported growth) with operating margin expansion of ~130 bps ex-Somalogic, while research and applied consumables are expected to decline mid- to high single-digits and China remains a headwind due to export restrictions.

Bullish
  • + Q4 revenue of $1.16 billion came in above expectations with non-GAAP EPS of $1.35, up ~42% year over year, and full-year 2025 non-GAAP EPS of $4.84 beat original guidance.
  • + Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 400 bps year over year in Q4 to 23.7%, and full-year 2026 margin is guided up ~130 bps ex-Somalogic, supporting trajectory toward 2027 targets.
  • + Q4 NovaSeq X placements were the second-highest since launch, with over 100 units placed and more than 60% to clinical customers, supporting durable consumables pull-through.
  • + Somalogic acquisition closed on January 30, strengthening the proteomics/multiomics pillar and expected to add 1.5–2 points to 2026 reported revenue growth.
  • + Full-year 2026 EPS guided to $5.00–$5.20, representing ~10% year-over-year growth excluding the $0.18 Somalogic dilution.
Bearish
  • − Research and applied consumables are expected to decline mid- to high single-digits in 2026, reflecting continued muted academic end-market conditions.
  • − China remains a revenue headwind, with Q4 China instruments down 55% due to export restrictions and 2026 China sales guided to $210–$220 million.
  • − Q4 non-GAAP gross margin of 67% was down 40 bps year over year, pressured by a 205 bps tariff impact despite underlying improvement.
