Bio-Rad Laboratories, a significant biotech investment for Thompson Siegel & Walmsley, has experienced insider selling by its COO who moved almost $1M worth of company shares. The firm's stock has declined by 14% this week, adding to a three-year loss of 53%. Despite this, the company reaffirms its 2024 revenue growth outlook, although this has seen the share price slip. Its financial position is generally solid with satisfactory management of its debt, yet some investors question if the stock has grown too fast too soon. The financial results from the firm are anticipated, but reports suggest the Q1 earnings beat estimates, although margins were down due to weak biotech demand and stiff competition.
The firm has updated its bylaws to allow electronic shareholder meetings, and there has been analyst speculation about a potential $10 billion acquisition of Qiagen. However, despite being considered a lucrative investment by some, others recommend a careful approach to investment given the present stock value despite 267% gains. Notably, recent appointments within Bio-Rad Laboratories have added to shareholder optimism.
