Pacific Biosciences: Overcoming Short-Term Challenges with Strategic Innovations and Long-Term Growth ProspectsWe reiterate our BUY rating on Pacific Biosciences (PACB) shares and maintain our price target at $3. We remain constructive after a mixed 3Q25, as we are hopeful sentiment may gradually improve going forward. After the market close on PacBio posted 3Q25 revenue that was below our estimate and FactSet consensus. The performance was impacted by lower Revio pricing and delayed Vega shipments. On a positive note, Revio pull-through increased q/q and total gross margin improved nicely. The company narrowed its 2025 revenue guidance (lowering the midpoint). Indeed, macro challenges may pressure PacBio's growth profile in the relative near term. We think the company is positioned to return to solid growth in 2026 given its progress with clinical customers and population-scale programs. PacBio's new multi-use SMRT cells could also unlock larger projects for customers.
