Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. This is the share price only - reinvesting the dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

The bull case

The company becomes a core supplier for a major medical breakthrough.

The bear case

Long-term decline in scientific research investment.

What does Bio-Techne Corporation do?

Think of Bio-Techne as a high-end supplier for the world's laboratories, selling the specialised chemicals and equipment needed for complex biological research. Its role as a trusted partner to pharmaceutical companies and universities that need reliable, high-quality materials for their experiments is where the money lies. The question to follow is whether their sales recover, since they've recently seen a slight dip in revenue despite a significant jump in their bottom-line profits.

Does Bio-Techne Corporation pay a dividend?
