Bruker Corp.

Bruker’s Q4 profits grow 66 percent

February 25, 2010 By MassDevice staff Leave a Comment

Paced by 16.2 percent revenue growth during the fourth quarter, Bruker Corp. (NSDQ:BRKR) reported $43.6 million in profits during the three months ended Dec. 31, 2009.

The 66 percent jump in net income, compared with year-ago levels, on $366.4 million in revenues translated into 26 cents per share, beating even the most optimistic bottom-line forecasts by analysts. Company officials said they anticipate profit growth of at least 15 percent this year within Bruker’s primary scientific instruments operating unit, which would work out to net income of $93.4 million or more during 2010.

Bruker: Q4 sales even higher than we thought before

February 5, 2010 By MassDevice staff Leave a Comment

When Bruker Corp. (NSDQ:BRKR) gave a presentation to analysts Jan. 13, it painted a rosy picture for its fourth-quarter results, saying revenues would exceed both its previous forecasts and analysts’ expectations.

Today the Billerica, Mass.-based lab and imaging equipment maker said Q4 results will be even better than that, predicting sales in excess of $355 million for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2009. That’s a 4.4 percent improvement over the $340 million in Q4 sales predicted back in January and a darn sight better than the $329.4 million Bruker posted in Q4 2008.

Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco.
