Twist Bioscience: Liquid Biopsy And AI Tailwinds
Summary Twist Bioscience's stock has moved high in recent months, driven by optimism related to AI-enabled drug discovery and MRD testing.

Twist Bioscience: Valuation Is Weighing On The Stock
Summary Twist Bioscience reported solid Q1 FY25 results, although this was insufficient to drive the company's share price higher. The demand environment remains challenging, and Trump's election has created additional uncertainty. The implementation of tariffs could actually be a tailwind for Twist, though. Express genes and NGS appear to be driving Twist's growth at the moment, and this seems likely to persist for the foreseeable future. Twist's margins continue to improve, putting the company on a clear path to profitability over the next few years, which will remove one of the largest sources of investor doubt. Twist's valuation likely leaves little room for further upside in the near-term, though without a meaningful growth acceleration. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Dec 26

Twist Bioscience: Path To Profitability Beginning To Take Shape
Summary Twist Bioscience's SynBio and NGS segments continue to generate strong growth, despite macro challenges. The prospects of the biopharma segment are uncertain, highlighted by the sale of milestones and royalties to XOMA for a small amount. Twist's margins continue to improve, and the company now appears to be on a path to cash flow breakeven over the next few years. Continued growth and a transition to profitability should see Twist's stock perform well over the long run, there is probably little room for multiple expansion in the meantime though.

Twist Bioscience's Earnings Preview: Partnerships And Valuation Make It A 'Buy'
Summary Since I last covered it, Twist Bioscience has made significant strides. They have secured new partnerships, launched innovative products, and secured strategic financial agreements. TWST's valuation multiples now appear more reasonable, making it a compelling buy for new investors, with a long cash runway and potential self-sustainability by 2025-2026. The company has improved its gross margins and reduced EBIT margins, signaling rapid margin improvement and benefiting from economies of scale. TWST's pipeline in DNA data storage and next-generation sequencing tools position TWST for future growth in biotech applications. Despite inherent biotech and earnings report risks, TWST's consistent revenue growth, margin improvement, and value accumulation justify upgrading the stock to a "Buy".
