10X Genomics Inc (NASDAQ:TXG) reported preliminary second-quarter revenues Thursday that were meaningfully below the consensus estimates.

The 10X Genomics Takeaways: Apart from restrictions in China, lower consumer demand, logistics issues and forex headwinds adversely impacted revenues, de Bruin said in the downgrade note.
Revenues from the APAC and EMEA regions declined in the quarter, the analyst said.
“Even though Americas revenue of ~$70.9 million was up +8% y/y (+19% q/q), previously discussed changes to the sales organization are hampering commercial operations,” he added.
“After several quarters of lackluster growth due to a mix of issues, and with no quick fix in sight as the market / FX / execution issues will likely continue to hamper progress in 2H22,” de Bruin further said in the note.
TXG Price Action: Shares of 10X Genomics were tanking by 22.75% to $33.44 Friday.
