BioLife Solutions Inc. (BLFS) saw its stock price surge 6.51% in after-hours trading on Thursday, following the release of its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results that significantly exceeded analyst expectations.
The cell processing tools company reported quarterly earnings of $0.04 per share, beating the consensus estimate of a $0.02 loss by a wide margin. Revenue for the quarter reached $24.8 million, a 20% year-over-year increase and above the $24.1 million forecast. For the full year, revenue grew 29% to $96.2 million. Management also provided strong guidance for 2026, projecting revenue between $112.5 million and $115.0 million, representing growth of 17% to 20% over 2025, and anticipating full-year GAAP profitability.
The positive results were driven by sustained strength in the company's biopreservation media franchise, which holds a dominant market share in commercially sponsored cell and gene therapy clinical trials. CEO Roderick de Greef highlighted the company's streamlined operations and the expanding CGT end market as key drivers for future growth and operating leverage.
