The previous big move we wrote about was 28 days ago when the stock gained 4.5% on the news that the company announced it had secured new orders worth approximately $10 million for its advanced scientific equipment from three prominent U.S. research institutions.
The orders were for high-performance Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) instrumentation from the New York Structural Biology Center, the University of Delaware, and Northwestern University. Funding for these systems was supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The equipment was intended to help research teams make breakthroughs in drug discovery and the study of diseases. This news signaled strong demand for Bruker's specialized technology from leading scientific organizations. The systems were expected to be delivered and installed in 2026.
Bruker is down 34.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $38.69 per share, it is trading 38.5% below its 52-week high of $62.95 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Bruker’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $878.83.
