Baron Funds made the following comment about 10x Genomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:TXG) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“10x Genomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:TXG) sells products that offer life sciences researchers single cell, spatial, and in-situ views of biological systems. Shares underperformed in the quarter, declining 37% after the company reported second quarter results that were below expectations due to softness in China as well as cold chain logistical issues in Europe. We view 10X as a leader in cutting-edge life sciences research and maintain long-term conviction as the company remains early in penetrating the markets for single-cell and spatial analysis. In addition, we believe there is optionality in clinical diagnostics through 10X’s in-situ platform.”
