“Equipment, what we're seeing there in the order book certainly underwrites and reaffirms the year-over-year improvement that we expected.”
Rainer Blair · CEO
How to check this claim
Look at: Bioprocessing/equipment segment revenue growth, year-over-year, for fiscal year 2026
It came true if: Full-year 2026 equipment revenue growth approximately flat (between -2% and +2%) year-over-year, an improvement versus prior year's double-digit decline
Where: Company segment disclosures (10-K / earnings call commentary on bioprocessing equipment growth)
In context

This year, the guide assumes that we're flat on equipment. But we do like the activity levels here in equipment, and that marker of 30% year-over-year growth is an important one that is certainly supportive of the out years, and we'll have to continue to see how customer readiness plays in here. Sometimes these equipment orders come and it gets to be a little bit lumpy as customer readiness is a real important factor here as to when you actually end up recognizing the revenue. So we certainly see the guide underwritten here going forward, and we think positively about what this means certainly for the out years.
