🧬 Meet Revvity: From PerkinElmer to Powerhouse

Revvity (formerly PerkinElmer) isn’t your typical lab-coat company. Think of it as part science lab, part tech startup, and part Wall Street comeback story. It provides diagnostic and life science solutions to detect diseases, decode DNA, and improve human health—while keeping your inner stock nerd entertained with acronyms, assays, and analytics.

Its Life Sciences division builds instruments, reagents, software, and imaging tools (yes, the whole microscope-to-mindset pipeline 🧫).
Its Diagnostics arm screens for genetic conditions, infectious diseases, and rare disorders—basically helping doctors and parents catch problems early before they become life-altering.

In short: Revvity makes science faster, medicine smarter, and investors (potentially) richer.

🧪 Institutional Confidence: The Big Money Likes What It Sees

You know a stock is getting serious when the big funds start crowding in.

• Calvert Social Investment Equity (CSIEX) — a selective fund holding just 47 stocks — recently added 294,000 shares.

• Institutional Ownership: 101% of the float. (Yes, 101%. That means every share is held by funds… and someone borrowed someone else’s shares to hold even more 😅).

Here’s the Wall Street Who’s Who:

That’s 823 institutions owning a slice of Revvity’s 116 million shares — clear validation that it’s not some speculative biotech moonshot.

💡 Analysts Agree: “Buy,” Even If Price Targets Dip

• Bank of America: Maintains Buy, adjusts target from $104 → $99.

• Barclays: Follows suit with a similar trim but bullish stance.

Translation: Analysts are saying, “Yes, it’s a buy… but maybe don’t expect fireworks until 2026.”

📊 The Latest Numbers

Revvity’s Q2 2025 report had plenty of substance (and a few stats worth memorizing for your next finance dinner brag):

• Revenue: $720M (+4% YoY; +3% organic growth)

• GAAP EPS: $0.46 (up from $0.45 YoY)

• Adjusted EPS: $1.18 (slightly down from $1.22 YoY)

• Operating Margin: 12.6% (steady and solid)

CEO Prahlad Singh summed it up nicely:

“The power of Revvity’s transformation and consistent execution were evident in our second-quarter performance.”

Translation: We didn’t blow the roof off, but we didn’t blow up either.

🧫 Segment Deep Dive

Life Sciences:

• Revenue: $366M (+5%)

• Adjusted Margin: 31.6% (vs. 33.7%)
  ➡️ R&D tools are steady performers, though pricing pressure nudged margins down.

Diagnostics:

• Revenue: $354M (+3%)

• Adjusted Margin: 25.2% (vs. 27%)
  ➡️ Early detection and diagnostics are slow but stable — the healthcare version of a reliable dividend.

🔮 Guidance: Slightly Upbeat

Revvity raised its full-year 2025 revenue outlook to $2.84B–$2.88B, assuming 2–4% organic growth, and adjusted EPS guidance to $4.85–$4.95.

It’s not screaming “hypergrowth,” but it does whisper “steady compounder.”

💸 Financial Flashback: 2024 in Review

• 2024 GAAP EPS: $2.20 (down from $5.55 in 2023 — ouch)

• Adjusted EPS: $4.90 (up from $4.65)

• Revenue: Flat but fine (~$2.76B)

• Adjusted Operating Margin: 28.3% (up slightly)

Despite the headline EPS drop, adjusted metrics show Revvity is tightening its ship.

⚙️ Valuation: From Pricey to “Hey, That’s Reasonable!”

Bottom line: The valuation is finally catching up with reality. Revvity now looks more like a long-term value play than a frothy biotech.

🚀 Growth Catalysts

1. SaaS Expansion:
   Their “Signals Software” platform is growing fast, turning lab data into profits (and maybe memes). High margins + recurring revenue = investor candy 🍬.

2. Strategic Partnerships:
   Teaming up with Sanofi on Type 1 diabetes diagnostics. That’s both smart and socially impactful.

3. AI Integration:
   AI-enhanced diagnostics and lab automation could give Revvity a second life (and save some scientists from Excel rage).

4. Share Buybacks:
   🤑 New $1B repurchase program launched late 2024.
   💰 Nearly $450M bought back in 1H 2025.
   🧾 Message: “We think our stock’s too cheap — and we have the cash to prove it.”

5. Dividend Discipline:
   Yield: ~0.30% (tiny but sustainable). They pay it because they can — not because they have to.

⚠️ The (Healthy) Risks

1. Slow Growth Pains:
   2–4% organic growth won’t win any races, but it’s respectable for diagnostics.

2. Regulatory Risk:
   Lab reimbursement changes could cut into margins.

3. Acquisition Jitters:
   Revvity’s deal-hungry nature means integration challenges. (Translation: not every lab merger is love at first sample 💔).

4. Geopolitical Drag:
   China remains a tricky market for life sciences.

Q: Why did Revvity rebrand from PerkinElmer?
A: To reflect its evolution beyond instruments and into integrated science + software ecosystems. Also, “Revvity” sounds cooler in PowerPoint.
