What 10x Genomics does

Makes single-cell and spatial genomics instruments and reagents that let researchers analyze gene activity in individual cells.

Sells instruments once and then earns repeatedly on the reagent kits and chips each experiment uses, so consumables are the larger and steadier part of revenue. Customers are mostly academic labs funded by research grants, plus biotech and pharma. Chromium is the older line; the spatial products are the newer one.

Products and services

  • Chromium (single-cell analysis)
  • Visium (spatial genomics)
  • Xenium (in situ spatial imaging)

Customers

  • Academic genomics labs
  • Biotech/pharma R&D departments

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Healthcare/life sciences tools
  • Genomics instruments
  • Single-cell/spatial sequencing…

What could go right

  • Spatial genomics market adoption growth
  • New instrument placements driving consumables pull-through

What could go wrong

  • Academic/biotech R&D funding cyclicality (NIH budget risk)
  • Patent litigation exposure versus competitors

Moat: narrow (IP / patents, installed base, switching costs). A proprietary microfluidics/chemistry platform with an installed instrument base drives recurring consumables revenue.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
