QGEN

Qiagen NV's Q3 2023 net sales were above the outlook, driven by 5% growth in the non-COVID-19 portfolio. However, overall sales declined 5% from Q3 2022 due to significant COVID-19 sales contributions. The company affirmed its guidance for 2023 net sales of at least $1.97 billion, driven by solid consumables demand. William Blair believes these projections are attainable, considering the sustained robust demand amidst a complex macroeconomic landscape. QGEN shares are up 5.25% at $37.42.
