BIO-RAD LABORATORIES, INC.
Next earnings Jul 29, 2026 (after close) · consensus $1.77 EPS, $630M rev
Last earnings +0.0% on 2026-04-30
Life-science tools franchise with a fortress balance sheet, but flat revenue and a 1.8% operating margin make the low P/E illusory.
Revenue $2.58B · FY2025
Middling fundamentals offset by an attractive price (~257% below fair value) — worth a look on the value angle.
Bio-Rad is a life-science research and clinical-diagnostics instruments company, and its FY2025 financials require careful reading because the headline numbers are distorted by its large marketable-equity holdings. Net income of $760M (up 141.2%) and diluted EPS of $27.85 produce a deceptively cheap 10.9x P/E, but operating income was only $47.2M (down 82.5%, a 1.8% operating margin) on $2.58B of revenue. The gap between $47M of operating profit and $760M of net income is driven by gains on the company's equity holdings — the same mechanism that produced wild swings of +$4.25B (FY2021), -$3.63B (FY2022) and -$1.84B (FY2024). The 'earnings' are therefore largely a mark-to-market artifact, not operating cash generation.
