BioMérieux: Oddo BHF upgrades stock & raises TP
(CercleFinance.com) - Oddo BHF has upgraded its rating on bioMérieux shares from 'neutral' to 'outperform', with a target price raised from E113 to E132.
bioMérieux announces that it has completed the acquisition of the Norwegian start-up Spinchip Diagnostics, specialising in in vitro immunoassay diagnostics, for an enterprise value of E138m, after initially acquiring a 20% stake.
This acquisition will strengthen SpotFire's offering with tests targeting cardiac pathologies from 2026, with ramp-up planned by the end of 2028.
In addition, the biotech company has unveiled an update on its installed base in Q4 2024: net installations include +500 units for BioFire and +900 for SpotFire, reaching a total of 3,000 units for SpotFire since its launch a year ago, confirming strong acceleration and planned targets.
Oddo BHF says that the time for delivery has come: the timing, to play the growth and OM appreciation as described by the GO 2028 tarhets, seems to us to be getting better again, particularly regarding 2025 and beyond.
