Bio-Rad reports Q2 EPS $3.11, consensus $2.01

Reports Q2 revenue $638.5M, consensus $645.79M. “Our second quarter results were in line with expectations for topline revenue despite a challenging market environment,” said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to experience constraints in biotech and biopharma customer spending and, as a result, expect a more modest pace of market recovery than originally anticipated. At the same time, ongoing supply chain initiatives, core process improvements, and cost control are positively impacting our margin profile. In addition, as our life science business rebounds, we are well positioned for further margin expansion.”
