Illumina (ILMN) posted an adjusted EPS of approximately $4.50 for FY25. It seems impacted by China’s regulatory moves with China banning imports of Illumina's gene sequencers, impacting the firm negatively. Coupling with the tariffs imposed, the firm's operations hit, and it lowered its outlook. The company is also planning to make amends by executing a
$100 million cost-cutting program. Spotlight falling on its recent developments, Illumina has resigned itself to a tough market scenario, yet attempts to maintain a positive outlook, transforming
multiomic research with newer technologies. It has also launched
proteomics program with UK Biobank, strengthening its market position. Subsequently, its
collaboration with NVIDIA is a new ray of hope, accelerating the application of genomics in precision health. However, despite achieving Q4 sales targets, ILMN’s shares had lowered to a 52-week low at $87.29 due to the unstable market shifts. Still, its potential regulation and market speculation aided modest gains. Yet, it's faced with significant risks as China bans its instruments and as Roche enters the race. The company is in the process of looking for a new General Counsel upon Charles Dadswell’s resignation and is also looking into selling stakes to Regeneron for a genetic database.
