Microbix Biosystms ( (TSE:MBX) ) has shared an announcement.

Microbix Biosystems reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $4.2 million, up 13% from the prior quarter but 30% below the same period last year, reflecting ongoing recovery after setbacks with two major clients in 2025. The quarter was marked by sharply lower antigen sales into China, partially offset by rising sales of branded QAPs products, resulting in a 41% gross margin and a controlled net loss of $1.17 million.

Management emphasized that the revenue and loss levels were in line with its 2026 budget and highlighted a strong balance sheet, including a current ratio of 7.51 and modest leverage with a 0.38 debt-to-equity ratio. The company is aggressively pursuing new client programs and expanding its product portfolio to restore sales above breakeven, improve margins, and create long-term shareholder value in both its diagnostics business and its Kinlytic urokinase drug program.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:MBX) stock is a Hold with a C$0.21 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Microbix Biosystms stock, see the TSE:MBX Stock Forecast page.
