Qiagen projected a low single digit rate first-quarter QuantiFERON growth rate on February 5, 2026. Actual Q1 2026 volumes showed a 5% decline
NEW YORK , May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Qiagen N.V. (NYSE: QGEN) shares fell more than 10.5% after the company disclosed QuantiFERON faltered on "significantly lower immigration testing demand." Shareholders who lost money on Qiagen are encouraged to submit their information to discuss their legal rights . You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
During the previous earnings call on February 5, 2026, CEO Thierry Bernard was confident: "You will see QuantiFERON picking up in Q2 … accelerating to achieve … between 6% and 7% growth" in 2026. He noted Qiagen's projections remained "perfectly aligned with the target that we gave during our Capital Market Day in June '24."
On April 28, 2026, Qiagen walked back on these claims and CFO Roland Sackers revealed the disappointing guidance: sales were now projected to "continue at a largely unchanged level from the second quarter of '25," and investors would have to wait for QuantiFERON to "return[] to a more normalized growth rate in '27."

Q: What specific misstatements are being investigated? A: The QGEN investigation concerns statements made by the company and its management regarding its sales-growth outlook, QuantiFERON TB test demand, its debt classification, and the adequacy of its non-GAAP financial disclosures during the class period.
