Bruker's third-quarter adjusted operating margin rose to 16.3% from 12.3% as cost controls helped lift adjusted operating income to $142.6 million from $105.9 million, International Business Times AU reported. Revenue at the scientific instruments maker increased 1.6% to $874.0 million.

The company paid down another $58 million of debt and maintained its 2026 organic revenue growth forecast of 1% to 2%. Performance remained uneven: Scientific Instruments organic revenue declined 0.4%, while Energy & Supercon Technologies revenue rose 11.2% to $82.1 million. A $174.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment contributed to a GAAP net loss attributable to Bruker of $111.8 million.
