AI Insight: BRKR Financial Trends
Debt reduction to $1,680M is a bright spot, but operating income collapsed to $10M in Q1 2026 — near the weakest level in the dataset.
• Total debt declined steadily from $2,491M in Q2 2025 to $1,680M in Q1 2026, the lowest level shown.
• Operating income fell sharply from $76M in Q4 2025 to $10M in Q1 2026, matching the weakest quarterly print in the table.
• Revenue has been range-bound: Q1 quarters print ~$800–823M while Q4 quarters reach ~$977–980M, suggesting seasonal but not secular growth.
• Operating cash flow turned deeply negative at -$128M in Q2 2025 and -$33M in Q3 2025, before recovering to $230M in Q4 2025.
⚠ Net income swung to -$60M in Q3 2025 — first loss in the dataset — signaling potential one-time or structural cost pressure worth monitoring.
⚠ Operating cash flow of $71M in Q1 2026 versus $10M operating income suggests working-capital timing; sustainability of cash conversion needs watching.
⚠ Equity rebounded to $2,456M in Q4 2025 from $1,781M in Q4 2024; confirming the driver — earnings vs. issuance — is key to assessing balance-sheet quality.
AI Insight: BRKR Ratio Trends
Bruker's profitability has collapsed to near-zero on a TTM basis, with operating margin of just 1.4% and ROIC of 2.8% after a severe Q3 2025 loss.
• Operating margin swung from -6.0% in Q3 2025 to 7.8% in Q4 2025, but reverted to 1.2% in Q1 2026, signaling no durable recovery.
• TTM net profit margin is -0.3% and ROIC is 2.8%, both near multi-period lows versus Q3 2024's 4.7% NPM and 6.6% ROIC.
• Debt-to-equity improved from 1.29 in Q3 2024 to 0.77 in Q4 2025, the only notable balance-sheet positive in recent quarters.
⚠ Q3 2025 saw ROE of -9.8% and ROIC of -4.6% — a sharp single-quarter deterioration; monitor whether Q1 2026's weakness signals a repeat.
⚠ ROIC has dropped from 7.4% in Q4 2024 to 2.4% in Q1 2026 — watch for sustained return above cost of capital.
⚠ D/E decline to 0.77 in Q4 2025 is a positive inflection; confirm trend holds as profitability pressures persist.
