Company Report

Bio-Techne: Relaunching Coverage With Narrow Moat Rating and $87 Fair Value Estimate

We are relaunching coverage of Bio-Techne with a narrow moat rating and a fair value estimate of $87 per share. The firm is a leader in proteins, immunoassays, clinical diagnostic controls, and other reagents that are crucial for the academic, biopharmaceutical, and diagnostic markets. We think it has attractive long-term growth prospects, with the potential for low-double-digit growth starting in fiscal 2025, and has demonstrated strong operating profit margins and free cash flow over the past 10 years. We view the shares as fairly valued currently.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The firm's reputation for excellent proteomic reagents and instruments allow it to generate high profit margins and strong cash flow.

Bears

Bio-Techne's long-term strategy relies on acquisitions, and the company may have difficulty finding suitable targets due to high valuations or scarcity. Additionally, it may fail to successfully integrate and scale up an acquired business.
