<p><strong>Bruker Corporation&nbsp;</strong>(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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>BRKR&#39;s Likely Stock Trend Following the News</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>BRKR currently has a market capitalization of $9.97 billion. The company has a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 10.09%.</p>
<h2>Significance of Bruker&#39;s Latest Acquisition</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Other Recent Developments by Bruker</h2>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<h2>Industry Prospects Favor Bruker</h2>
<p>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.</p>

Bruker Stock Gains From Its Latest Acquisition of Dynamic Biosensors

<p><strong>Hologic </strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/holx#NASDAQ">HOLX</a>) has been gaining from new strategic product launches across Diagnostics and Breast Health. However, macroeconomic issues and unfavorable FX headwinds continue to impede growth. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) currently.</p>
<h2>Major Factors Driving HOLX Stock Growth</h2>
<p>Among Hologic&#39;s advanced diagnostic products, primary revenue-generating ones are molecular diagnostic assays, which run on advanced instrumentation systems (Panther, Panther Fusion and Tigris), ThinPrep cytology system and the Rapid Fetal Fibronectin Test. With solid 10.5% growth, excluding COVID-19 sales in the fiscal third quarter of 2024, the Molecular Diagnostics business has consistently maintained high-single to double-digit gains in 13 of the last 15 quarters. Growth continues to be driven by the ongoing adoption and utilization of the broad menu in the Panther platform.</p>
<p>In Breast Health, Hologic expanded its product offering from imaging to cover the continuum of breast cancer care, including biopsy and surgery. The business is thriving primarily in the burgeoning spaces of radiology, breast surgery, pathology and treatment, with key profitable offerings such as 3D digital mammography systems, image analytics software utilizing artificial intelligence, ultrasound imaging and minimally invasive breast biopsy guidance systems. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, revenues increased 7.1% (excluding the divested SSI business), driven by domestic and international growth of 7.2% and 12.1%, respectively.</p>
<p>The company&#39;s international sales have been a major catalyst in the past few years, growing 5.1% year over year in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Molecular STI testing, cytology and MyoSure experienced strong growth in the global markets. However, the company perceives it as still in the early phase of utilizing its expanded Panther installed base. Similarly, while international cytology and STI testing have more dominant U.S. revenues, they are expected to become meaningful revenue drivers in the international markets with time.</p>
<p>In order to streamline its operations and reduce the cost of revenues, Hologic has adopted a few significant strategies over the past few years. The company has invested deliberately and opportunistically in commercial areas where management has recognized a good return. These include Hologic&#39;s Genius marketing campaign in Breast Health, cervical cancer co-testing initiatives in Diagnostics, along with efforts to gain competitive market share with NovaSure.</p>
<div class="chart_embed">
<h2>Hologic, Inc. Price</h2>
<p><img alt="Hologic, Inc. Price" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/2d/1727441408.png" style="height:251px; width:538px" title="" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13px">Hologic, Inc. price</span><span style="font-size:13px"> | Hologic, Inc. Quote</span></p>
<p>Per management, these strategic initiatives are already paying off through increased brand awareness, market share gains, and price stability, all of which will contribute to the company&#39;s higher sales. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the company was awarded the Innovative Technology Contract by Vizient, which expands access to its Surgical product lineup. The contract recognized Hologic&#39;s CoolSeal advanced energy portfolio and JustRight 5 mm stapler for their potential to enhance clinical care, patient safety and healthcare worker safety or improve business operations of healthcare organizations.</p>
</div>
<p>The stock has gained 12.2% year to date, compared with the industry&#39;s 7.6% rise. With the company currently focusing on the expansion of diagnostics assay and breast health offerings in global markets, we expect the stock to continue its upward movement in the coming days.</p>
<h2>Major Downsides for HOLX</h2>
<p>Continued concerns about the systemic impact of potential long-term and widespread recession have added to market volatility and diminished expectations for economic growth. The effect of the worldwide political and social uncertainty, including the impact on trade regulations and tariffs, economic disruptions as well as the ongoing supply chain constraints, have reportedly hampered the costs and sales of Hologic&#39;s products in certain countries in recent times. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, Hologic&#39;s cost of revenues (product, service and other) rose about 1.9% year over year, while selling, general and administration expenses increased 4.2%.</p>
<p>These uncertainties surrounding global economic conditions and financial markets may cause medical equipment purchasers to decrease their medical health insurance premiums and procurement activities. Additionally, higher unemployment rates and health insurance premiums, co-payments and deductibles may result in cost-conscious consumers making fewer trips to their physicians and specialists, affecting the demand for the company&#39;s products and procedures.</p>
<p>We remain worried about the significant challenges Hologic faces owing to unfavorable foreign currency impact that has been adversely impacting the company&#39;s overall performance in the past few quarters. The company&#39;s international sales are often denominated in foreign currencies, including the euro, UK pound and renminbi. Changes in currency exchange rates, particularly the increase in the value of the dollar against any such foreign currencies, may reduce the reported value of Hologic&#39;s revenues outside the United States and associated cash flows. The company expects about $3 million adverse currency impact in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p>For several quarters in a row, declining COVID-19 assay revenues have been a headwind to some of the company&#39;s key performance metrics. Although the company returned to growth in the fiscal third quarter, the potential impact of the COVID-19 sales downturn still lingers.</p>
<p>Hologic&#39;s fiscal 2024 guidance assumes $70 million from COVID-19 assay sales, including $7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Overall, revenues from COVID-19-related items are expected to be approximately $105 million in fiscal 2024.</p>
<h2>Key Picks</h2>
<p>Some better-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are <strong>TransMedics Group </strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tmdx#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>), <strong>AxoGen </strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axgn#NASDAQ">AXGN</a>) and <strong>OrthoPediatrics </strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kids#NASDAQ">KIDS</a>). While TransMedics sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present, AxoGen and OrthoPediatrics carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) each.</p>
<p>Estimates for TransMedics&#39; 2024 earnings per share have moved up 2.5% to $1.23 in the past 30 days. Shares of the company have soared 156.5% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 17.5% growth.
