5 big analyst AI moves: Nvidia guidance warning; Snowflake, Palo Alto upgraded
BILLERICA, Mass. - Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) reported first-quarter 2025 results that surpassed analyst expectations, but lowered its full-year guidance due to academic market and tariff challenges.
The scientific instruments maker posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.47, beating the analyst estimate of $0.42. However, this represents an 11.3% YoY decline, primarily due to acquisition-related headwinds. Revenue for the quarter came in at $801.4 million, exceeding the consensus estimate of $764.72 million and marking an 11% increase YoY. Organic revenue growth was 2.9%, while constant-exchange rate revenue rose 12.5%.
Bruker’s Scientific Instrument (BSI) segment showed strength with 5.1% organic revenue growth. The company’s proactive cost management efforts helped drive organic operating margin expansion, partially offsetting the anticipated Q1 margin pressures from strategic acquisitions made in the second quarter of 2024.
For the full year 2025, Bruker revised its guidance downward. The company now expects revenue between $3.48 billion and $3.55 billion, representing growth of 3.5% to 5.5%, including organic growth of 0% to 2%. Non-GAAP EPS is projected to be in the range of $2.40 to $2.48, indicating 0% to 3% growth YoY. This outlook is below the previous analyst consensus of $2.63 for EPS and $3.48 billion for revenue.
Frank H. Laukien, Bruker’s President and CEO, stated, "It has become evident that academic market and tariff dynamics will have a meaningful impact on our financial performance in 2025, and accordingly we are lowering our organic revenue growth and non-GAAP EPS guidance for the full year."
Bruker plans to implement additional cost and pricing initiatives, as well as supply network re-engineering, to mitigate slightly more than half of the new headwinds in 2025. The company anticipates resuming its planned margin expansion and rapid EPS growth in 2026 and beyond.
