Avantor’s Bioprocessing Boom: Is This Billion Dollar Platform The Key To Outsized Growth?

Avantor’s first-quarter 2025 earnings results reveal both challenges and strategic initiatives that frame a complex investment landscape for the company. Avantor reported an organic revenue decline of 2% year-over-year, signaling underperformance primarily within its Lab Solutions segment. Despite this, the company managed to maintain an adjusted EBITDA margin of 17%, a 20 basis point increase from the prior year. However, revenue in both Avantor’s segments, Lab Solutions and Bioscience Production, fell short of expectations, prompting a revision of full-year guidance.
