“Life-science research instruments demand is under pressure at the moment. Our second quarter came in below expectations, as we experienced challenging demand conditions in the US academic market, as well as in biopharma and industrial markets,” said Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) President and CEO Frank Laukien.

“Tariffs and a stiff currency headwind could not yet be compensated for by our mitigating price, supply chain, and cost actions in the second quarter,” he added.

For full-year 2025, Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) expects revenues to end at $3.43 billion to $3.5 billion, or a 2-4 percent growth from the $3.37 billion last year. The updated figures, however, were lower than the previous guidance of $3.48 billion to $3.55 billion.
