What are analysts’ consensus estimates for Q3 and FY 2025, and how does the new guidance compare?

Analysts’ consensus estimates

- Q3 2025: The Street is still looking for roughly $1.1 billion in revenue (± 5 % range) and an adjusted EBITDA margin of about 13‑14 %.

- FY 2025: Consensus calls for $4.5 billion of revenue for the full‑year, with adjusted EBITDA expected to run near $620 million (≈13.5 % margin).

How the new guidance compares

Maravai’s Q2 2025 results were accompanied by a new outlook that lifts FY 2025 revenue guidance to $4.6 billion, about 2 % above the consensus number, and projects a $630 million adjusted EBITDA, again modestly ahead of consensus. The Q3 outlook was lifted to $1.12 billion—again roughly 2‑3 % above the Street’s estimate. The modest upside reflects the company’s $50 million‑plus cost‑saving program, which should help squeeze margins higher than the consensus 13‑14 % range.

Trading implications

The modest beat in both the quarterly and full‑year guidance suggests that the market may still price in a modest upside rally. The stock has been trading near its 200‑day SMA with a bullish ascending‑channel pattern on the daily chart; a break above the recent high (~$71) on volume could trigger a short‑to‑mid‑term upside, especially as the cost‑reduction initiatives start to materialize. Conversely, if the market has already priced in the guidance lift, expect limited upside and potential profit‑taking on any short‑term spikes. A prudent approach would be to buy on a pull‑back to the 20‑day moving average, targeting a 4–6 % upside target with a stop just below the 50‑day SMA. If the stock fails to hold above the $70‑$71 resistance, a short‑term defensive stance (tight stop or a small put spread) could be justified, especially given the relatively modest upside versus the potential for a broader sector pullback.
