Qiagen (NYSE:QGEN): Reassessing Valuation After Strong Q3 2025 Beat and Upgraded Growth Outlook

Qiagen (NYSE:QGEN) just delivered a third quarter 2025 update that checked two big boxes for investors: earnings and revenue both climbed year over year, and management backed that up with higher full year growth guidance.

That upbeat earnings story has helped the stock regain some traction, with a roughly 6.6% 1 month share price return and an 8.98% 1 year total shareholder return suggesting momentum is slowly rebuilding after a tougher multi year stretch.

If Qiagen’s update has you looking more broadly at healthcare names riding similar trends, this could be a good moment to explore healthcare stocks.

But with the share price already rebounding and analysts only seeing modest upside to their targets, is Qiagen still trading at a meaningful discount, or is the market already pricing in its next leg of growth?
