Twist Bioscience Corporation (TWST) Latest News
26 Sep
Guggenheim lifts Eli Lilly price target to 1,284 from 1,273 and keeps a Buy rating, while sharply boosting Lilly’s Foundayo revenue forecast to 1.8 billion in 2027 and 3.7 billion in 2028 (from 1.2B and 2.4B). Foundayo’s 2026 estimates are kept, but the model assumes a lower price for the 2.5-mg dose for the rest of the year as prescriptions improve. Lilly raises its 2026 revenue guidance to 85–87 billion after strong Q2 momentum driven by volume, offset by price declines. Foundayo prescriptions rose about 8% to roughly 47,500 in the latest week, and Lilly says it now captures over 30% of new US obesity patients, narrowing Wegovy’s lead. Access expands as CVS Caremark coverage begins and major PBMs cover Lilly’s obesity portfolio. Lilly also expands AI-driven drug discovery exposure with Twist Bioscience via TuneLab. The Lilly-Twist TuneLab AI collaboration could meaningfully boost TWST's growth potential, but lack of detail on scope and timing limits confidence.

Twist Bioscience (TWST) trades at 26.6x trailing sales, far above the S&P 500, and the stock’s price hinges on two bets: continued growth and eventual profitability. Revenue rose about 22% per year over the last three years, but operating losses were still about 32% of sales. Management credits AI-enabled drug discovery as the growth driver, noting Q3 2026 drug-developer revenue up 49% to $40.4 million and raising full-year revenue guidance to $456–$457 million. AI revenue is not disclosed, and the size of the AI business remains unclear. The company aims for adjusted EBITDA to break-even in Q4 2026 and stay there through 2027, helped by cost cuts. Yet the timeline and profitability are uncertain, and November guidance for fiscal 2027 will be a key test for the stock's case and the 26.6x sales multiple. Timely break-even of adjusted EBITDA by Q4 2026 and the scale of AI-enabled drug-discovery growth are critical to the stock's upside given the high valuation.
Twist Bioscience stock rose 16% to $184 after Leerink Partners raised its price target to $160 and said Twist is the most important beneficiary of Anthropic’s expanding biology research. Anthropic funds lab testing of 5,000 protein designs using Twist DNA, with Claude analyzing lab data quickly to speed next experiments. Twist’s Q3 revenue was $118.4 million, up 23% year over year, and management lifted fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $456–$457 million, marking the 14th straight quarter of sequential growth and a forecast for double-digit order growth in AI-enabled drug discovery. Separately, Twist signed a deal with Eli Lilly to feed antibody data into Lilly’s TuneLab platform, reinforcing its role as essential infrastructure for AI drug discovery. Street targets still sit well below the current price, underscoring the market’s positive reception to the news. Twist's role as essential AI-biotech infrastructure with major partnerships and raised guidance signals a meaningful lift in growth trajectory.

Twist Bioscience (TWST) expands its AI drug-discovery exposure through a Lilly TuneLab partnership. Twist will supply antibody characterization data services, contribute to AbLab developability models, and provide high-throughput wet-lab data to train AI systems. TuneLab users can order Twist’s services via TuneLab workflows, generating data that can improve AI-enabled antibody discovery. The agreement positions Twist as a data-generation and antibody-characterization layer in the AI drug-discovery ecosystem and could drive incremental service revenue if adoption grows. However, near-term revenue visibility is limited: no minimum commitments, contract value, or explicit revenue guidance, and no Lilly drug rights or milestone payments. The business impact depends on TuneLab adoption and broader AI-market demand; hedge fund activity around Twist also remains notable. Expands Twist's data-generation footprint in AI drug discovery with potential long-term revenue impact despite limited near-term commitments.
21 Sep
Twist Bioscience (TWST) has surged about 493% over the past year, hitting a new all-time high and earning a 100% Buy technical rating from Barchart as momentum remains strong. Yet the rally comes with warnings: RSI around 72, high short interest near 19%, and consensus price targets well below current levels, signaling potential overextension. Fundamental signals are mixed: market cap about $10.5B, revenue projected to grow about 21% this year but decline next, and earnings expected to rise sharply then dip. Analysts show a mix of ratings, with many Strong Buy/Hold and a notable strong sell target of $113.50, underscoring skepticism about near-term upside. The bottom line advises caution: for holders, consider a stop loss; for new entrants, the current level is not a good entry point given volatility. Extreme year-long rally, overbought RSI, and high short interest imply notable near-term risk despite potential long-term upside.
