Repligen’s Strong Q1 Performance and Strategic Positioning Earns ‘Buy’ Rating from Analyst

Repligen (RGEN) has received a new Buy rating, initiated by TD Cowen analyst, Brendan Smith.

Brendan Smith has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Repligen’s strong performance and strategic positioning. The company reported an impressive 11% organic revenue growth in Q1, surpassing the consensus estimate of 7%, and demonstrated robust margins due to a favorable revenue mix shift. This performance underscores Repligen’s competitive edge despite broader macroeconomic challenges.
Moreover, Repligen’s strategic insulation from potential market disruptions is noteworthy, with minimal exposure to NIH and China revenues, and a predominantly US-based manufacturing setup. Although there is some uncertainty regarding EU tariffs, management anticipates minimal impact on earnings per share. The company’s diversified revenue streams, particularly its clinically derived revenues, further bolster its outlook, supporting Smith’s optimistic stance on Repligen’s stock.

Smith covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Repligen, Azenta, and Twist Bioscience. According to TipRanks, Smith has an average return of -10.7% and a 30.38% success rate on recommended stocks.
