Shares of Bionano Genomics (NASDAQ: BNGO) are skyrocketing 25.13% in intraday trading on Thursday, following the release of the company's impressive first-quarter 2025 financial results. The genomics technology firm significantly outperformed analyst expectations, sparking renewed investor confidence in its growth prospects.
Bionano reported a narrower-than-expected loss of $1.15 per share for Q1 2025, beating the analyst consensus estimate of a $3.02 loss by 61.92%. This marks a substantial improvement from the $35.75 per share loss reported in the same period last year. Revenue came in at $6.50 million, slightly above the expected $6.23 million, despite representing a 25.88% year-over-year decrease. The company also highlighted an improved gross margin of 46% for the quarter, indicating enhanced operational efficiency.
Looking ahead, Bionano Genomics provided an optimistic outlook for 2025, projecting full-year revenue between $26 million to $30 million. The company reaffirmed its plan to install 15 to 20 new Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) systems this year, underlining its commitment to expanding technology adoption. Notably, Bionano has extended its cash runway into the first quarter of 2026, supported by cost-saving measures, capital efficiency, and recent equity raises. This improved financial position, combined with the strong quarterly performance, has fueled the dramatic surge in stock price as investors reassess the company's potential in the rapidly evolving genomics sector.
