Stablecoins are here to stay says BlackRock
DUBLIN, Ireland - Trinity Biotech plc (NASDAQ:TRIB), a leading provider of diagnostic solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced the continuation of U.S. government funding for its HIV testing programs. This development follows a recent waiver by the U.S. Department of State, ensuring sustained support for HIV testing under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), despite a broader review of foreign aid by the current administration. According to InvestingPro data, Trinity Biotech generated revenue of $59.13M in the last twelve months, operating with a gross profit margin of 35.74%.
The waiver, dated January 28, 2025, overrides a pause in foreign aid initiated by a U.S. President’s Executive Order aimed at reevaluating U.S. foreign assistance. Trinity Biotech’s two rapid HIV tests will continue to be funded under PEPFAR, a significant global initiative to combat HIV/AIDS. The company confirmed that other testing programs using their rapid HIV tests remain largely unaffected by the Executive Order.
Trinity Biotech expressed optimism about its ongoing collaboration with HIV testing partners and the company’s role in global HIV testing efforts facilitated by PEPFAR and other initiatives. Despite the stock experiencing a significant decline of 69% over the past year, InvestingPro analysis suggests the company may be undervalued at current levels.
