Deep Analysis

Gross margin is the percentage of revenue a company keeps after paying direct production costs, so 53.1% means Bio-Rad retains $0.531 for every dollar of sales before other expenses.

That level sits well below the sector median of 68.9%, placing Bio-Rad in the 24th percentile among healthcare peers, indicating most competitors convert a larger share of revenue into gross profit. The trend data is incomplete: year-over-year change is N/A, but quarter-over-quarter gross margin improved by 1.5 percentage points, from 52.3% to 53.1%. Because the current level is low relative to peers, the modest quarterly gain is not enough to close the gap, leaving margin pressure as an ongoing risk. At the same time, the sequential improvement offers a slight positive signal that cost or pricing conditions may be stabilizing. This mixed picture supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the metric neither confirms a strong competitive advantage nor signals deterioration.
