In Vitro & In Vivo Diagnostic Substances · SIC 2835 · Vertical: In Vitro & In Vivo Diagnostic Substances (SIC 2835)

1.74USD+2.06% · 1 dayClose 04 Nov 2026

Biomerica is a global biomedical company that develops, manufactures and sells diagnostic tests, focusing on gastrointestinal and inflammatory conditions. Net sales fell in fiscal 2026 to 4,453,000 USD, and the company disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, so the commercial pace of inFoods® IBS and hp+detect™ matters a great deal.

At the close of 04 Nov 2026, Biomerica, Inc. (BMRA) stock was 1.74 USD (+2.06% on the day), with market capitalisation 8.0 m USD, beta 1.29, 52-week range 1.49–2.88 USD. Latest reported quarter (Q1 2027): revenue of 1.3 m USD (−8.3% YoY), net income of -1.2 m USD (−61,700.0% YoY), diluted EPS -0.37 USD.

Estimated value range

unavailable — no valuation method could be computed

Valuation assumptions are editorial choices, not measured; beta is not measured.

Valuation methods

  • DCF (discounted cash flow)unavailable · the input exists, but its latest figure is far older than the latest reported period: not used
  • Peers: EV/EBITDAunavailable · net debt missing: EV cannot be bridged to equity (missing debt is not zero)
  • Peers: P/Eunavailable · the base of the ratio is not positive
  • Dividend discount (DDM)unavailable · the company pays no dividend: a dividend model needs an explicit initiation assumption

no valuation method could be computed

Multiple comparisons use the SIC vertical: In Vitro & In Vivo Diagnostic Substances (SIC 2835)

    AI analysis

    AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.

    In brief

    Biomerica is a global biomedical company that develops, manufactures and sells diagnostic tests, focusing on gastrointestinal and inflammatory conditions. Net sales fell in fiscal 2026 to 4,453,000 USD 1, and the company disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, so the commercial pace of inFoods® IBS and hp+detect™ matters a great deal 1.

    SWOT

    Strengths

    • The portfolio includes products with notable advantages, including an H. pylori test and an IBS product, supported by patents 1.
    • The company has experienced technical staff, FDA and ISO certified manufacturing and facilities in Irvine and Mexicali 1.
    • International sales are supported by a network of distributors and a sales director with long experience across Europe, Asia and Latin America 1.

    Weaknesses

    • The company has recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flow, and current cash may not cover operations for the next twelve months 1.
    • Sales declined in fiscal 2026, and reliance on a few large distributors makes revenue sensitive to changes in their orders 1.
    • Marketing resources are limited compared with large rivals, which could slow adoption of new products 1.

    Opportunities

    • Broader inFoods IBS reimbursement from Medicare and private insurers could increase volumes if physician adoption grows 12.
    • Contract development and manufacturing could use existing infrastructure and add incremental revenue 1.
    • UK registration of hp+detect and a first order from a laboratory chain could open further European markets 1.

    Threats

    • Tariffs and trade tensions could raise material costs and reduce demand from international distributors 1.
    • Larger competitors with greater financial resources could reduce the company's market share 1.
    • Regulatory requirements, including EU IVDR, could delay certifications and commercialization of products 1.

    Risks

    • Going concern doubthigh

      Current cash is not sufficient for the next twelve months, and the auditor included an explanatory paragraph on this uncertainty. Additional financing may be available only on unfavorable terms 1.

    • Distributor concentrationhigh

      One distributor represented a major share of sales, and a few distributors held most receivables. Losing one could seriously affect revenue 1.

    • Regulatory and certification risksmedium

      Loss of EU or other country certifications could lead to manufacturing shutdowns, recalls or lower sales 1.

    • International and Mexico operationsmedium

      Operations in Mexico and international sales expose the company to economic, political, currency and trade risks that could affect margins and deliveries 1.

    • Hazardous materials and environmental ruleslow

      Use of hazardous materials could lead to liability claims and compliance costs, and fines or shutdowns could exceed insurance coverage 1.

    Investment thesis

    What would need to be true (bull case)

    • Contract development deals could add revenue without large new infrastructure, since the work is done at the existing Irvine facility 1.
    • UK registration and a first order from a large laboratory chain for hp+detect could be early steps toward adoption in other European countries 1.

    What would break the thesis

    • Sales declined in fiscal 2026, and the company cannot assure that revenue will recover, which could deepen losses and dependence on external financing 1.
    • The going concern doubt means financing may be available only on unfavorable terms, and dilution through the at-the-market program could continue 1.
    • Much larger competitors and tariff changes could reduce market share and margins, especially if distributor orders remain volatile 1.

    What to watch

    • Sales trajectory of inFoods IBS and Medicare claim paymentsNext quarterly report
    • Status of financing and the going concern assessmentNext annual report
    • Milestone execution under the May 2026 master services agreement2027
    • hp+detect orders from the UK and other European laboratories2027

    Products, market & competition

    AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.

    The business

    Biomerica develops, patents, manufactures and markets diagnostic test kits that analyze blood, urine, nasal or fecal samples to aid diagnosis of diseases, food intolerances and other conditions 1. Products are sold mainly to clinical laboratories and point-of-care settings, including physicians' offices and over-the-counter channels, and the company also offers contract development and manufacturing for third parties 1. It is headquartered in Irvine, California, with manufacturing in Irvine and Mexicali, Mexico, through its subsidiary Biomerica de Mexico 12.

    Segments

    Contract manufacturing

    Contract manufacturing revenue declined after completion of a prior research project, while a May 2026 master services agreement with a life sciences company targets more than 1,750,000 USD on milestones 1.

    Over-the-counter and inFoods IBS

    Over-the-counter sales declined in fiscal 2026, and inFoods® IBS, recently launched, is still in early commercialization and only partly offset the decline 1.

    Market context

    The company sells mainly to clinical laboratories and point-of-care settings, and a significant share of revenue comes from international sales through distributors in Europe, Asia and Latin America 1. One distributor accounted for 31% of net sales in both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026 1.

    Trends

    • inFoods IBS reimbursement build-outtailwind

      The 300 USD Medicare rate and initial paid claims could open market access if payments continue and private insurers follow 12.

    • Trade tensions and tariffsheadwind

      Tariff changes and trade policy could raise material costs and delay international shipments, although the company says these have not had a material impact so far 1.

    • hp+detect adoption in Europemixed

      UK registration and a first commercial order for hp+detect could support expansion among European laboratories if sales continue 1.

    • EU IVDR requirementsheadwind

      Evolving EU IVDR requirements could raise compliance costs and lengthen certification timelines, possibly limiting or delaying sales of certain products in the EU 1.

    Competitive position

    The company says its main competitors are divisions and subsidiaries of much larger medical and pharmaceutical companies that spend substantially more on research, manufacturing and marketing 1. Biomerica relies on product distinctiveness, speed and quality of results and its patent portfolio, despite limited marketing resources 1.

    In contract development and manufacturing, competition turns on technical capability, quality, pricing, service and project execution 1. Lower-priced or technologically superior competing products could reduce the company's market share 1.

    • Divisions and subsidiaries of large medical and pharmaceutical companies

      Much larger competitors that invest more in research, manufacturing and marketing, with no specific issuer named in the sources 1.

    • Contract diagnostic developers and manufacturers

      Competitors in contract assay development and manufacturing, where technical capability, quality and price are the key criteria 1.

    • Point-of-care rapid test makers

      Rivals offering lower-priced or technologically superior rapid tests that could affect the company's market share 1.

    • Food intolerance testing providers

      Alternative options for diagnosing and managing food intolerances, an area where inFoods IBS competes 1.
