Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 3 findings
−9 of −30
  • Quality of growth
    Revenue has only grown from DKK 428m to 511m from 2021/22 to 2025/26 (about 4.5% a year) and rose 3% in 2025/26; consumables – the recurring revenue – fell 4%, and the US/Canada (54%) fell 6%.
    −5
  • ROIC trend
    ROIC has fallen from 117% in 2021/22 and 94% in 2022/23 to about 50% in 2025/26 – still far above WACC (11.9%), but capital is growing faster than earnings (inventory, instrument development).
    −2
  • Niche dependence
    The whole business is cell counting for cell and gene therapy and bioproduction (174 employees, DKK 511m). Management talks of 'significant market changes' towards automation, and new partnerships (Roche, Tecan, Hamilton) have no orders yet.
    −2

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 3 findings
−12 of −35
  • Multiples vs own history
    P/E 45 and EV/EBITDA 32.7 are mid-range of its own history (P/E 31–83 and EV/EBITDA 23–60 in 2021/22–2025/26), but above the level at fiscal year-end (P/E 31.2) – the history itself is extremely high.
    −3
  • Peers
    Forward P/E 41.8 vs Sartorius Stedim 39.4, Thermo Fisher 25.8 and Revvity 26.7; EV/EBITDA 32.7 vs 22–28. A premium to all peers, but with a far higher margin.
    −3
  • Absolute price level
    FCF yield 2.0% and earnings yield 2.25% at a P/S of 17.6, while guidance for 2026/27 only promises 7–13% revenue growth and EBITDA of DKK 300–315m (+7–12%).
    −6

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 3 findings
−9 of −35
  • Customers and end market
    NIH cuts have led to cancelled trials, and Novo Nordisk, Galapagos and Takeda have closed cell and gene therapy programmes. Some of the largest US customers have lower activity, and the US government shutdown in autumn 2025 hit spending.
    −4
  • Execution and guidance credibility
    The year before, the company fell short of its own guidance, so management now guides on a 'worst case' scenario; the stock fell 6.2% on the annual report in September.
    −3
  • Currency
    The US/Canada is 54% of revenue: sales fell 6% in DKK vs +1% at constant currency, because the weak dollar weighs; costs are in Denmark.
    −2

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 3 findings
+6 of +15
  • Pricing power and margin
    Gross margin 95% and EBITDA margin 55% (up from 52%); FCF margin 36%. Few instrument companies earn that much per krone of revenue.
    +3
  • Net cash
    Net cash DKK 289m and practically no debt (DKK 4.6m); equity DKK 725m.
    +2
  • Buybacks
    Buybacks of up to DKK 100m (May–October 2026) instead of a dividend; in 2025/26 DKK 122m was paid in dividends and 39m bought back – in total below FCF of 182m.
    +1

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Fiscal year ends 30 June (TTM = 2025/26). Only 3 analysts. Cell counters for bioproduction do not fit neatly in the industry list; placed under Pharma & medtech. Insider trades and top customers' share have not been found
