NasdaqGS:BLLN Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026
NasdaqGS:BLLN Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026

TTM EPS crosses US$1.00 as profits stabilize

  • On a trailing twelve month basis, Basic EPS moved to US$1.00 with net income of US$24.9 million on US$354.5 million of revenue, compared with a TTM loss of US$41.6 million on US$152.6 million of revenue six quarters earlier.
  • What stands out for the bullish narrative is how this shift to profitability lines up with the view that earnings can keep growing, as the latest four quarters now show net income consistently in positive territory while earlier periods carried losses.
    • Supporters of the bullish view point to this move into the black over the last year as evidence that the business model is starting to scale in both prenatal and oncology testing, even though recent reported earnings also include a one off loss of US$9.7 million that affects the quality of the TTM figures.
    • At the same time, the jump from a quarterly loss of US$4.0 million in Q1 2025 to a profit of US$18.0 million in Q1 2026 is a large step change that bulls see as consistent with their expectation of stronger future earnings, while more cautious investors may want to see how repeatable this level of profitability is.
Bulls argue that this turn to consistent TTM profitability is the key hinge for their longer term story, and the full bull case sets out how far they think that can go 🐂 BillionToOne Bull Case.

Q1 net income jumps to US$18 million

  • Quarterly net income excluding extra items reached US$18.0 million in Q1 2026 on revenue of US$108.4 million, compared with US$2.5 million on US$96.1 million of revenue in Q4 2025 and a loss of US$4.0 million on US$59.0 million of revenue in Q1 2025.
  • Cautious investors highlight this rapid swing as a reason to stress test the bearish narrative, because both bulls and bears agree that margins need to hold up as spending on EMR integrations such as Epic Aura, clinical studies and oncology expansion continues.
    • Bears focus on the risk that higher costs for EMR rollouts and larger oncology and MRD trials could eat into this US$18.0 million quarterly profit if revenue growth slows, especially after a period where oncology tests are described as carrying lower gross margins than prenatal.
    • What challenges the more pessimistic angle is that every quarter in 2025 after Q1 remained profitable on a net income basis, even while the company invested in integration and reimbursement efforts, which suggests current spending levels have so far been absorbed by the income statement.
Skeptics warn that this US$18 million profit could be hard to maintain if costs ramp faster than test volumes, and the bear case lays out where they see pressure building 🐻 BillionToOne Bear Case.

High sales multiple versus DCF and forecasts

  • The stock trades at US$92.90 with a P/S of 12.1x against a US Healthcare industry average of 1.2x and peer average of 2.7x, while the stated DCF fair value is US$146.07 and forecasts call for earnings growth of about 62.5% per year alongside revenue growth of about 19.3% per year.
  • Analysts who lean bullish argue that the combination of forecast growth and a DCF fair value above the current price supports their case, yet the same data also highlights valuation tension that more cautious investors point to.
    • On one side, the share price sitting below the DCF fair value of US$146.07 is cited as evidence that the market price does not fully reflect expected future cash flows, especially after the company shifted to trailing twelve month profitability with US$24.9 million of net income.
    • On the other side, the 12.1x P/S versus 1.2x for the wider US Healthcare group and 2.7x for peers shows that the market already prices in strong growth, so any slowdown from the roughly 19.3% revenue growth forecast or any repeat of large one off items like the US$9.7 million loss could weigh on how comfortable investors feel with that multiple.
