Revvity sinks after slashing its full-year profit outlook

The medical equipment maker said demand in China is cooling as new insurance reimbursement policies take effect.

Shares of Revvity were down nearly 8% Monday afternoon after the medical equipment maker topped Q2 expectations but slashed its full-year profit forecast.

The company said it now expects adjusted earnings of $4.85 to $4.95 per share in 2025, down from its previous guidance range of $4.90 to $5.00. Revvity posted a solid second quarter, with sales hitting $720 million, topping Wall Street’s $710.4 million estimate.

The outlook cut comes as hospitals in China have started ordering fewer of Revvity’s higher-end diagnostic tests, which check for multiple conditions at once. A new cost-cutting policy tied to insurance reimbursements is pushing hospitals in the country to buy simpler, cheaper tests instead.

As a result, Revvity’s diagnostic sales in China dropped by double digits last quarter. The company now expects only low single-digit growth from that part of the business this year, down from its previous forecast of mid-single-digit growth.

Revvity shares are down about 15% year to date.

Lucid continues its autumn rout, hitting a fresh all-time low following a price target cut by Stifel

It’s been a rough 48 days for luxury EV maker Lucid, which fell to a fresh all-time low on Monday following a price target cut by analysts at Stifel.

Stifel lowered its Lucid price target to $17, from $21, with analyst Stephen Gengaro writing that the company will likely require additional capital over the next few years. According to Stifel’s note, published Monday, Lucid’s production is improving but it’s still in the “prove-it-to-me” stage, and vehicles that could elevate sales volumes are “likely two years away.”

Last week, Lucid announced that it plans to raise $875 million through a private offering of convertible senior notes due in 2031. The company lowered its production outlook and reported negative free cash flow of $955 million in its third quarter.

Since the end of the EV tax credit on September 30 — which Lucid’s pricey vehicles only qualified for through leasing loopholes — its shares are down more than 40%. Zooming out, Lucid’s stock has shed 98% of its value from its 2021 highs amid peak electric vehicle optimism.
