-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。ガイダンスの下方修正を受け、目標株価を54米ドルから36米ドルに引き下げ、2026年の1株当たり利益(EPS)予想を2.53米ドルから2.45米ドルに、2027年のEPS予想を2.74米ドルから2.64米ドルにそれぞれ下方修正します。この目標株価に基づくと、2026年の株価収益率(PER)は14.7倍となり、主要成長要因であるQuantiFERONへの逆風を反映して、過去平均の20~22倍を下回ります。Qiagenの2026年第1四半期の暫定純売上高は、為替変動調整後(CER)で前年同期比1%減となり、同社が目標としていた1%以上の成長を達成できませんでした。これは、米国および中東における移民検査需要の減少により、QuantiFERONがCERで5%減となったことが主な要因です。年初の業績低迷を受け、キアゲンは2026年の売上高成長率見通しを最低5%から1~2%(CERベース)に、調整後EPS見通しを2.50米ドルから最低2.43米ドル(CERベース)に下方修正しました。当社は売上高の未達と見通しの下方修正を残念に思っています。当社は依然としてQuantiFERONが長期的な成長の主要因になると考えており、他の患者検査グループにおける進捗状況の監視が引き続き重要となります。第1四半期の決算発表は2026年5月6日に予定されています。
