Neogen Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG) dropped over 4.52% to settle $12.68 in last trading session as the firm’s first-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings per share (EPS) of 15 cents outperformed both the prior-year figure and the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.3%. Revenues climbed 3% year on year to $132.3 million in the fiscal first quarter. It did, however, trail the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.5%. The first quarter marked the 121st consecutive quarter in which Neogen recorded a year-over-year sales gain.
Neogen ended the first quarter of fiscal 2023 on a mixed note, with earnings that were higher than projected but sales that were lower than planned. Sales increased in the Food Safety and Animal Safety sectors of the organization. With the exception of Australia and China, good foreign operations also contribute to optimism.
However, the business saw that consumers cut back on testing when they could. The corporation also announced extended pipelines, particularly for equipment sales. Increases in aflatoxin test kits, Soleris consumables, and food quality test kits were offset by a considerable drop in Soleris equipment due to a tough comparison with high sales the previous year. Additionally, allergy and environmental sanitation product lines deteriorated as a result of decreased customer purchasing habits and supply chain problems on some items.
