-QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced results for Q2 2026, with net sales and adjusted diluted earnings per share exceeding the outlook while maintaining a high level of profitability.

Net sales for Q2 2026 were unchanged at $535 million on a reported basis and at constant exchange rates (CER) compared to Q2 2025, exceeding the outlook for an approximately 2% CER decline. QIAGEN’s growth pillars together delivered 5% CER growth, led by Sample technologies delivering consumables sales growth at a high single-digit CER rate and instruments at a mid-single CER rate. QIAcuity and QIAGEN Digital Insights also delivered solid growth contributions. QuantiFERON sales rose 1% CER, reflecting the significant decline in U.S. immigration testing demand, while QIAstat-Dx sales faced a challenging prior-year comparison for respiratory testing. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.62 on both a reported and CER basis, above the outlook for at least $0.60 CER.

QIAGEN reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook for net sales growth of about 1-2% CER and adjusted diluted EPS of at least $2.43 CER.

“QIAGEN delivered results above our outlook for the second quarter of 2026 while maintaining a high level of profitability in a challenging operating environment,” said Thierry Bernard, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN. “We achieved solid growth across key pillars, particularly Sample technologies, QIAcuity and QDI, while navigating continued pressure on instrument spending in the U.S. We are also building momentum behind important new product launches across our portfolio, in particular the rollout of new sample preparation systems and QIAcuity gene expression kits. This progress reinforces our confidence in stronger growth during the second half of 2026 and our focus on delivering solid profitable growth."

“Our adjusted operating income margin remained strong and improved from Q1 2026 while supporting targeted investments following the Parse acquisition and absorbing adverse currency headwinds,” said Roland Sackers, Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN. “We increased the 2026 dividend by 40% compared with 2025 and continue to evaluate way to deploy capital to the highest-return opportunities. This performance reflects our continued focus on managing costs, prioritizing investments and generating an ongoing strong level of cash flow.”
