Pacific Biosciences Discusses 2026 Outlook, SPARQ-Nx Chemistry, and Clinical Growth at TD Cowen Conference
PACB
Product Launch
Guidance Update
New Projects/Investments
  • Pacific Biosciences is rolling out its SPARQ-Nx chemistry in early summer/late spring 2026, which is expected to dramatically lower the price per genome to sub $300 for 10,000 samples and in the $200 range or less for 50,000 samples, while also being accretive to gross margins.
  • The company improved gross margins by 700 basis points in 2025 and expects further improvement of 100 to 400 basis points in 2026, driving towards profitability through decreasing costs and accelerating revenue growth.
  • Clinical consumables shipments grew 55% in 2025 and are expected to continue growing in 2026, with the CEO projecting the clinical business could be over half of total business in five years. In contrast, the U.S. academic market was challenging in 2025 and is expected to remain conservative in 2026.
  • Pacific Biosciences asserts a strong competitive position with its unique long-read, single-molecule sequencing technology, which offers higher accuracy and the ability to see epigenetics, distinguishing it from competitors like Illumina's TruPath.
