Twist Bioscience reported solid results in Q2, but management's downbeat tone on the earnings call suggest there are challenges ahead. Twist has also spun-out its data storage business, which will help to reduce cash burn. The transaction attributes a fairly modest valuation to the business, though.

Twist Bioscience Q2 Earnings Preview: Innovative Products, Not Enough Buyers
Twist Bioscience has shown revenue growth from $54.4m in 2019 to potentially >$300m in 2024, but continues to post losses.
