Twist Bioscience: Expansion Efforts Continue To Face Challenges

  • Twist Bioscience reported solid results in Q2, but management's downbeat tone on the earnings call suggest there are challenges ahead. Twist has also spun-out its data storage business, which will help to reduce cash burn. The transaction attributes a fairly modest valuation to the business, though. This comes after the recent struggles of the biopharma business and a royalty sale, which suggests the biopharma business hasn't created much value so far.
