Why TWST stock is up today

Twist Bioscience stock rose 10.39% to $101.06 in the current session, driven by the company's record third-quarter revenue and upward revision of its full-year fiscal 2026 revenue guidance. The company reported Q3 revenue of $118.4 million, a 23% year-over-year increase, marking its 14th consecutive quarter of growth. Twist Bioscience also raised its full-year revenue outlook to $456 million to $457 million from a previous range of $442 million to $447 million.

What Happened

The stock's sharp rise came after the company signaled $123 million to $124 million in Q4 revenue, exceeding the $117.546 million estimate. The Q3 earnings call highlighted strong performance in AI drug discovery and R&D momentum, reinforcing investor confidence in the company’s long-term growth prospects. Despite missing the Q3 earnings estimate with a loss of $0.56 per share, the revenue beat and raised guidance helped shift the tone of the market reaction. Canaccord Genuity maintained its Buy rating on the stock and raised its price target to $120.
