On August 18, Twist Bioscience Corp rose 5.07% in regular trading, trading at $124.45/share, with turnover of $99.76 million. The stock rebounded following a prior session pullback, driven by continued positive sentiment from its fiscal Q3 earnings report released on August 3.

The CEO indicated the company expects to reach adjusted EBITDA breakeven this quarter.

As a core DNA synthesis supplier in the AI drug discovery value chain, Twist Bioscience is deeply tied to growing demand from AI-driven protein engineering and drug candidate screening. The company recently completed a $300 million equity offering underwritten by top-tier investment banks to expand production capacity. Analysts maintain a consensus buy rating with a mean price target of $87.56, while the stock has gained approximately 295% year-to-date.
