Bruker Reveals EpicIFTM, Revolutionary Fluorescence Signal Removal Technology, Transforming CellScape Spatial Proteomics Platform

Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRKR#NASDAQ">BRKR</a>) posted better-than-expected third-quarter results, but lowered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRKR/earnings">its FY24 guidance on Tuesday.</a>
Bruker posted adjusted earnings of 60 cents per share, beating market estimates of 59 cents per share. The company posted sales of $864.400 million versus expectations of $859.384 million.
Frank H. Laukien, Bruker&#8217;s President and CEO, commented, &#8220;Despite biopharma and China recovery delays, orders for our differentiated post-genomic, multiomics, cleantech, semicon and diagnostics solutions are gradually improving, with upper mid-single digit BSI organic bookings growth in Q3 year-over-year. However, nascent biopharma and China recoveries will not benefit our fiscal year 2024 anymore, and accordingly we are lowering our FY2024 guidance. Integrating and improving our strategic acquisitions is making good progress and will further accelerate Bruker&#8217;s remarkable transformation. We are confident in our ability to drive above-market organic revenue growth with significant margin expansion in 2025.&#8221;

<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bruker.com&amp;esheet=54137544&amp;newsitemid=20241017641053&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Bruker+Corporation&amp;index=1&amp;md5=530321542f67933615f7393d4ba8458f">Bruker Corporation</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRKR#NASDAQ">BRKR</a>) today announced that the European Unified Patent Court (UPC) has ruled in favor of its NanoString business, invalidating European Patent No. 2794928B1 (the "928 Patent"), which has been asserted by 10x Genomics against NanoString's CosMx&#xAE; Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI) products in Europe. Today's ruling follows the May 2024 decision of the German Federal Patent Court, which declared the 928 Patent invalid and revoked the patent in Germany. An appeal is pending in that case. Today's decision of the UPC expands on that German invalidity ruling to further invalidate the 928 Patent in France and The Netherlands. The ruling of the UPC is subject to appeal.

Bruker Announced The Formation Of A New Division, Bruker Spatial Biology Bringing Together In The Two Businesses Of NanoString Technologies And Canopy Biosciences, Along With Its Subsidiary Bruker Spatial Genomics (Formerly Acuity Spatial Genomics)

Bruker Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brkr#NASDAQ">BRKR</a>) recently announced the acquisition of Dynamic Biosensors GmbH, or DBS, a pioneering company known for its development in biosensors. The acquisition is aimed at boosting Bruker&#39;s biophysical portfolio, which is used for analyzing molecular interactions and kinetics. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Hence, the latest strategic acquisition is expected to strengthen Bruker&#39;s position in the pharma and biotech industries. The acquisition will leverage Bruker&#39;s leading high-throughput Surface Plasmon Resonance (&quot;SPR&quot;) portfolio and Dynamic Biosensors&#39; unique instruments.
<h2>BRKR&#39;s Likely Stock Trend Following the News</h2>
Subsequent to the news, the share price of BRKR moved north 1% to $67.46 on Wednesday. The company is gaining a high level of synergies from its continuous effort to reinforce its leading position within the pharma and biotech industries. Given the latest acquisition announcement, we expect market sentiment toward BRKR stock to continue to remain positive.
BRKR currently has a market capitalization of $9.97 billion. The company has a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 10.09%.
<h2>Significance of Bruker&#39;s Latest Acquisition</h2>
DBS develops and markets innovative technologies for studying complex molecular interactions and kinetics to support drug discovery in the pharma and biotech industries, as well as in basic and medical research. The new Dynamic Biosensor heliX&nbsp;instrument performs single-cell Interaction Cytometry (scIC) for kinetic measurements directly on cells, retaining the molecules&#39; native membrane environment. Bruker&#39;s SPR portfolio includes all new SPR #64 &lsquo;Triceratops&#39;, and the 24 and 32-spot Sierra-Pro SPR systems.
The Bruker SPR portfolio is a great match for DBS&#39;s products. Hence, following the acquisition, the combined Bruker Biosensors business will offer one of the most innovative ranges of instruments, workflows, and consumables for studying intermolecular and molecule-cell interactions in the drug discovery pipeline. The acquisition should help Bruker establish itself as a new technology leader in biosensors with a differentiated offering.
In fiscal 2025, Bruker expects its Biosensors business to have an additional revenue gain of more than $5 million from the DBS acquisition, with no material EPS impact.
<h2>Other Recent Developments by Bruker</h2>
In August, Bruker completed the installation and acceptance of a 1.2 GHz Avance NMR spectrometer at the Korea Basic Science Institute (&quot;KBSI&quot;). As the first 1.2 GHz NMR system in the Asia-Pacific region, it sets a new benchmark for molecular, cell biology and disease research using ultra-high-field NMR.

The same month, the company announced a strategic investment in&nbsp;NovAliX &mdash; a preclinical Contract Research Organization specializing in expert drug discovery services. Bruker&#39;s partnership with NovAliX should enable both companies to accelerate the development, incubation, deployment and support of advanced biophysical methods. The collaboration will leverage Bruker&#39;s leading post-genomic solutions competencies, combined with NovAliX&#39;s expert services and innovation.
<h2>Industry Prospects Favor Bruker</h2>
Per a Grand View Research report, the global biosensors market was valued at $28.9 billion in 2023 and is expected to witness a compound annual growth rate of 8.0% from 2024 to 2030. The demand for biosensors is increasing due to the diversity of medical applications, the increasing number of diabetic patients, the high demand for compact diagnostic devices and rapid technological improvement.

Bruker Corporation&#39;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brkr#NASDAQ">BRKR</a>) growth is backed by strong sales within its X-Ray and Nano Analytics businesses. Within the PCI division, expanding customer demand for pre-clinical MRI systems is highly encouraging. Meanwhile, the impact of macroeconomic pressure and currency fluctuation is likely to hurt the company&#39;s operational results.
In the past year, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company&#39;s shares have gained 10.4% compared with the industry&#39;s 27.5% growth and the S&amp;P 500 composite&#39;s 34.9% gain.
This renowned medical device company has a market capitalization of $11.77 billion. It has a 2025 earnings growth rate of 17.6%, which is much higher than the industry&#39;s 13.8% growth rate. BRKR&#39;s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 10.1%.
Let&#39;s delve deeper.
<h2>Bruker&#39;s Key Upsides</h2>
Bright Prospects Within Nano Business Segment:&nbsp;The segment caters to a large set of customers, such as academic institutions, governmental customers, nanotechnology companies, semiconductor companies, raw material manufacturers, industrial companies, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and other businesses that are involved in materials research and life science research analysis. The business is seeing robust revenue growth across its end markets, including academic, government, industrial and semiconductor metrology.&nbsp;
During the first half of 2024, the company&#39;s advanced X-Ray and Nano Analytics businesses delivered strong sales, backed by Nano&#39;s robust revenue growth. Nano&#39;s strong growth is driven by the rising demand in academic and government markets. The Nanostring acquisition is expected to be both strategically and financially beneficial, promising a high return on investment for Bruker.
The Potential of Preclinical Imaging (PCI) Market: Per Grand View Research, the global PCI market was valued at $4.30 billion in 2023 and is likely to witness a CAGR of 4.6% up to 2030. Therefore, this translates into a golden opportunity for Bruker to expand its foothold in the PCI market and earn higher profits from this division.
Bruker offers advanced PCI solutions for a broad spectrum of application fields. Moreover, this division is experiencing increasing customer demand for higher-strength pre-clinical magnetic resonance imaging systems. Earlier this year, Bruker filled a critical gap in its PCI portfolio with the acquisition of Spectral Instruments Imaging LLC, a leader in preclinical in-vivo optical imaging systems.
<h2>Bruker&#39;s Key Downsides</h2>
Unfavorable Currency Movement: Bruker generates a substantial portion of its revenues in the international markets, primarily in Germany and other countries in the European Union, Switzerland and Japan.&nbsp; As a result, currency fluctuations continue to result in foreign currency transaction losses for the company. In addition, currency fluctuations are likely to cause the price of Bruker&#39;s products to be less competitive than its principal competitors&#39; offerings.

Macroeconomic Factors:&nbsp;Present global economic challenges and uncertainties have made it harder for Bruker to manage operations and predict financial outcomes. Geopolitical conditions are impacting its operational results. In addition, supply-chain risks also persist. All these issues are leading to higher costs and expenditures for the company, impacting its profitability.
In the second quarter, Bruker&#39;s cost of revenues increased 21.6% from the same period in 2023. SG&amp;A expenses surged 24.4%.
<h2>BRKR&#39;s Estimate Trend</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Bruker&#39;s 2024 earnings per share remained unchanged at $2.61 for the past 30 days.
The consensus estimate for the company&#39;s 2024 revenues is pegged at $3.41 billion, indicating a 14.9% rise from the year-ago &nbsp;number.
<h2>Key Picks</h2>
Some better-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are&nbsp;TransMedix Group&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tmdx#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>),&nbsp;AxoGen (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axgn#NASDAQ">AXGN</a>) and Phibro Animal Health (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pahc#NASDAQ">PAHC</a>).
