Research Alert: Gehc Q1 2026: Solid Revenue Growth Amid Margin Pressures And Revised Outlook

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

GE HealthCare reported mixed Q1 2026 results with revenue of $5.1B, up 7.4% Y/Y (+2.9% organic), but adjusted EBIT margin contracted 150 bps to 13.5% due to operational challenges and inflationary pressures. Adjusted EPS of $0.99 declined modestly from $1.01 in the prior year, impacted by discrete PDx supplier issues, rising memory chip, oil, and freight costs, plus ongoing tariff impacts. Segment performance was mixed, in our view, with Pharmaceutical Diagnostics leading growth at +21.7% reported (+9.7% organic), while Patient Care Solutions declined -6.5% with EBIT margins contracting 500 bps to just 1.4%. Management reduced full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $4.80-$5.00 (from $4.95-$5.15) while maintaining organic revenue growth expectations of 3.0%-4.0%, which we view as achievable. The company expects to offset more than half of inflation impact through pricing and cost mitigation efforts, though margin pressures are expected to persist through 2026, given current challenging market conditions.

Research Alert: Biogen Q1 Earnings: Strong Beat Overshadowed By Lowered Full-year Eps Guidance

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Biogen delivered strong Q1 2026 results with non-GAAP EPS of $3.57 (+18% Y/Y) significantly exceeding the consensus of $2.95, while revenue of $2.478B (+2% Y/Y) beat expectations of $2.2B. Growth products sustained impressive momentum, generating $851M (+12% Y/Y), now representing one-third of total revenue, with LEQEMBI collaboration revenue up 80% Y/Y to $60M and the MS franchise showing better-than-expected resilience at $779M (-4% Y/Y). We view the continued acceleration of growth products as demonstrating successful portfolio diversification away from MS dependence. Management downgraded 2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance to $14.25-$15.25 from $15.25-$16.25, primarily reflecting acquired IPR&D charges. The proposed $5.6B Apellis acquisition, expected to close in Q2 2026, will add SYFOVRE and EMPAVELI to the growth portfolio and is anticipated to be accretive in 2027, in our view. We expect the combined revenue from these assets to grow in the mid-to-high teens for at least the next two years.
