Bio-Rad Laboratories has received a significant investment from Elliott Investment Management, which aims to enhance the company's stock performance. Bio-Rad's shares have plummeted over 70% since late 2021 due to declining sales and profits. Elliott also has a stake in Sartorius, where Bio-Rad holds a $5 billion investment. Following the news, Bio-Rad's shares rose more than 4% in premarket trading.
