Qiagen posts Q3 2026 earnings beat and suspends 2026 guidance amid pending EQT takeover offer

Qiagen N.V. reported third‑quarter 2026 net sales of about $548 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.65, both above analyst forecasts. The company also posted an adjusted operating‑income margin of 30.4%. Because a €46.50‑per‑share takeover proposal from EQT Private Equity is under review, Qiagen has suspended its full‑year 2026 outlook.

The suspension of guidance leaves investors without a forward‑looking earnings target, increasing uncertainty about the company’s 2026 performance. The pending EQT offer could result in a change of control and affect the stock’s valuation.
