2026-10-08 AI × 生物医药上市公司:TWST 的业务兑现、估值与急跌 ​

  • 行情时间:2026-10-07 美国常规收盘,TWST 155.65 美元;非10月8日盘中报价。
  • 财务时间:TWST FY2026 Q3截至6月30日;同业使用2026年第二季度披露。
  • 研究状态:初步覆盖。财报与行情证据较强;当前股本、现金与融资后回报尚待更新。
  • 范围:七家美国上市公司,重点TWST;未进行私人持仓分析。

结论与建议 ​

TWST 是本次首选研究对象,当前价格下新增资金不参与。 DNA合成与实验服务已有可收费的需求,DSPS收入增长支持经营假说;股价仍要求更强的增长及现金兑现。10月6–7日累计跌 24.07%,放量跌破MA20,尚未确认止跌。

字段判断
最高优先级观点优先研究TWST的实验投入与服务收入;155.65美元缺少足够安全边际。分别评估业务吸引力与价格吸引力。
市场隐含判断从约22–24倍FY26收入的历史融资桥推断,价格包含持续高增长与盈利改善要求;这是作者解释,当前一致预期缺失。
不同判断合作提供客户入口,收入取决于重复付费;实验件数增加、单位成本下降与优选定价对毛利和现金的净影响尚未量化。
传导机制AI设计增加 → 合成/实验订单 → 利用率提高 → 售价、产品组合与单位成本决定毛利 → SG&A、SBC、capex决定每股现金回报。
观点状态与证据变化首次覆盖。支持:Q3 DSPS +39%、合作入口;反对:EBITDA同比亏损扩大、负现金流、较高估值与放量急跌。尚未形成完整买入承销。
当前首选动作pass / 新增资金不参与TWST;回避按主题篮子追涨。 研究优先级TWST > SDGR > TEM > ABCL > RXRX > ABSI > DNA,按本轮经营证据与验证路径排序;同行未完成估值,该顺序不是买入排名。
置信度财报历史和行情:高;TWST价格判断:中;AI增量收入、下跌归因与同行投资性价比:低至中。
主要依据Q3收入118.4m、DSPS +39%;九个月FCF proxy -68.9m;历史融资桥EV/收入21.76–23.73倍;10/6、10/7量比3.94、2.26。
最大反证新财报显示DSPS持续增长、重复AI实验付费显著、毛利及费用率改善、融资后现金回报持续,则目前保守判断可能低估增长。
失效条件Q4实际收入低于123m,或adjusted EBITDA低于0,任一成立则对应指引兑现判断失效;DSPS连续两季同比不增长,则需求持续假说失效。下一季DSPS低于20%是较早预警,技术位仅改变价格风险判断。
下一验证TWST全年/Q4财报:123–124m收入目标、EBITDA、CFO/capex/SBC、实际现金与股数、FY27指引、AI客户重复订单。公告日尚未核实。
条件式框架新增风险复查须同时满足:更新股本/现金、现金回报证据改善、重估风险收益合适。收复165–167并回踩守住仅是技术复查信号;152.50失守强化下行风险。

板块地图:收费路径与风险不同 ​

AI × 生物医药的收益链包括模型/软件、实验材料与数据、临床开发、检测应用。一次设计成本下降后,需求扩张是否超过单位价格下降,是供应商的重要分歧;药物资产则还需通过安全性、疗效与审批。

本次选择七家有代表性的公司。LLY、Novo等大型药企在公告中是合作及采购方,其整体估值不在覆盖范围;本报告也未穷尽全球上市公司。

公司收费与AI关联最近季度事实,美元百万判断中的关键变量
TWST · Twist BioscienceDNA、蛋白及NGS实验投入/服务收入118.4;DSPS同比+39%;adj EBITDA -11.3重复订单、产品毛利、融资后现金回报;本次重点
SDGR · Schrödinger分子设计软件,加药物发现合作收入58.9、+8%;软件32.5、-10%;ACV +27%合同到确认收入、Bunsen增量、一次性收益
TEM · Tempus AI检测、数据许可与临床AI应用收入382.5、+22%;Data & Applications 93.2、+28%;adj EBITDA +8.0AI收入拆分、并购整合与可转债后回报
ABCL · AbCellera抗体合作前期费、里程碑/版税,加临床资产收入4.1、净亏损55.4;6/30现金/证券逾565临床耐久性、融资后现金;AI技术归属证据仍有限
RXRX · Recursion自有/合作药物,前期费与里程碑收入7.7、净亏损131.0;现金/受限现金556.8临床成功率、付款节奏与现金消耗
ABSI · Absci生成式抗体设计、合作及临床管线收入0.3、净亏损33.2;现金等201.1疗效、开发成本、融资与时间表
DNA · Ginkgo Bioworks自动化实验室、实验数据/服务持续经营收入20、-48%;adj EBITDA -36;现金等302合同到交付/确认收入、毛利与转型现金消耗

来源:TWST Q3、SDGR Q2、TEM Q2、ABCL Q2、RXRX Q2、ABSI Q2、DNA Q2。现金为季度历史余额,口径不同。

SDGR 为次选研究对象:软件已收费,但Q2确认收入下滑、ACV(年度合同价值)增长,需解释合同到收入的转化。药物发现23m收入含10m Ajax里程碑;净利润6m受48.9m其他收益(other income)支持,主要来自Ajax相关投资收益。BMS软件合作及Bunsen早期使用提供入口,增量金额未披露。9月Tectora的55m融资属于新公司资金,SDGR经济利益需通过股权、里程碑及其他权利分析。SDGR Q2、Tectora。

TEM 位列第三:检测与数据分部已有收入。Q2净利润5.6m受98.5m未实现证券收益支持,经营亏损仍为75.9m。现金/证券820.7m与已完成460m可转债需共同看待。Personalis交割指引是晚Q4 2026或早2027;10/7 Moderna/Merck合作扩展服务入口,商业化服务取决于相应产品获批。TEM Q2、10/7合作。

ABCL、RXRX、ABSI的临床数据可显著改变资产价值,适合分项目风险调整净现值(rNPV)和现金跑道分析。DNA虽然有Novo、TuneLab合同,收入与现金流仍要求证明转型效果。同行当前EV及完整临床资产估值未覆盖,不能用现金规模或主题涨幅确定性价比。

TWST:业务质量与AI需求如何兑现 ​

两项主要收入是 DNA Synthesis and Protein Solutions(DSPS) 与 NGS Applications。客户在候选分子筛选时即可为合成/实验投入付费,因此对单一药物最终获批的直接依赖相对较低;客户研发预算、实验效率与竞争价格仍会影响订单。

Q3向约2,650个客户发货,去年同期2,480;基因出货约369,000,去年237,000,增长约56%,支持实验活动扩张。基因件数与包含DSPS、NGS的总收入口径不同,单件利润仍需对应产品的收入、规格及成本数据。公司以合成平台、复杂序列能力及周转为优势,5月扩大复杂基因供给是产品事实;经济护城河仍需重复购买、定价及单位利润验证。Q3、复杂基因公告。

9/16 Lilly TuneLab公告提供抗体发现、表征服务、优选协议及定价。潜在价值是减少接入摩擦、扩大客户入口;合同额、最低采购量与独家安排均未披露。Lilly公告。

Anthropic研究介绍列Twist、Adaptyv为实验验证参与方,报告1,320个设计中354个有结合信号、15个目标中14个有命中。这支持计算设计需要实验验证的需求链,证据来自开发商研究介绍;临床价值与Twist所得收入尚未披露。研究页面持续更新,初始时间由8/18 SEC文件锚定。Anthropic研究、8/18文件。

判断链为:客户入口 → 重复实验消费 → 利用率 → 毛利 → 每股现金回报。经营反证是模型筛选效率提高后总实验需求低于预期,或优选价格下件数增加而增量利润有限。

财务:收入增长明确,现金回报仍待兑现 ​

TWST指标FY26 Q3去年同期/相关比较含义
总收入118.376m96.057m;+23.2%增长有财报支持
DSPS56.6m40.8m;+39%本轮最强经营证据
NGS61.8m55.3m;+12%需求分散,非全部AI收入
毛利率52.8%去年53.4%;前季51.6%环比改善、同比略降
SG&A80.709m63.370m;+27.4%高于收入增速
GAAP经营亏损-36.280m-30.120m同比杠杆仍弱
adjusted EBITDA-11.326m-7.998m同比亏损扩大
GAAP净结果-35.051m+20.390m去年含Atlas收益48.847m

九个月CFO -41.258m、capex 27.624m,相减的FCF proxy -68.882m;SBC 50.385m,占收入 15.14%。季度SBC为18.176m。现金消耗与股份稀释共同影响每股回报。

8月管理层指引FY26收入 456–457m、全年毛利率 高于52%;Q4收入 123–124m,实现adjusted EBITDA盈亏平衡。财年已于9/30结束,下一财报直接验证目标。即使非GAAP目标兑现,现金流仍受营运资金、capex和SBC调整影响。财报公告、10-Q。

团队与资本动作方面,8月每股96美元定价发行3.125m股,承销商行使0.46875m股选择权;8/5文件的预期净所得为327.1m。资金缓冲增加,同时股数增加。管理层的下一项验证,是利用新增资本形成扣除稀释后的可持续回报。

估值与情景:急跌之后仍有较高增长要求 ​

历史融资桥用于理解价格要求,保持初步估值状态:

  • 7/29普通股62.707424m,加发行及已行使选择权3.59375m,模拟基础股本 66.301174m。
  • 6/30现金/短期投资166.839m,加预期融资净所得327.1m,模拟现金 493.939m;未计后续现金流。
  • 本口径把租赁负债93.590m及未来收入出售负债15m加入EV,模拟净现金 385.349m。
  • 使用融资补充文件的历史期权997,499股、加权行权价33.15美元做近似treasury stock method;加2.602711m普通RSUs后为 69.689m股,再纳入2.394498m条件性performance RSUs的压力口径为 72.083m股。不是当日GAAP稀释股数或所有奖励的最大值。

在155.65美元,模拟基础股权价值 103.20亿美元、EV 99.34亿美元;对FY26收入指引中点4.565亿美元为 21.76倍。普通稀释口径 22.92倍,绩效权益压力口径 23.73倍。10月实际股本、现金与奖励条件尚待新文件验证。10-Q、融资补充文件、8/5文件。

基准判断为不新增风险。 下表收入与倍数均为作者假设,以72.083m股及模拟净现金计算;未分配概率、未作时间折现,也未使用同行当前倍数。

作者情景FY27收入假设较FY26中点增长EV/收入假设股价敏感值较155.65变化
兑现偏慢520m+13.9%10倍77.48美元-50.22%
增长延续600m+31.4%15倍130.20美元-16.35%
AI需求加速700m+53.3%20倍199.57美元+28.21%

计算:“收入 × 倍数 + 模拟净现金”,除模拟股数。以15倍承接现价下压力口径EV,需要收入约 722m、较FY26中点增长约 58%;以20倍则需约 542m、增长约 19%。同样经营增长,多重估值收缩可以显著影响价格。

缺少客户cohort、产能单位现金回报与正常化capex,本轮不设正式评级、目标价或长期DCF。向下重估可能改善性价比,需与更新后的现金、股数及收入路径共同判断。

Synthesis of structurally complex and highly-engineered protein sequences to enable acceptance of approximately 99.5% of clonal gene orders and 99.9% of all DNA products

Complex synthesis capabilities to support further advancement of AI-enabled drug discovery and nucleic acid therapeutics

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. --(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2026--

Twist Bioscience Corporation (NASDAQ: TWST), a mid-cap growth and value biotech company, today expanded its clonal genes portfolio with the early access launch of Complex Genes .

“As research in nucleic acid therapeutics and AI-guided protein design and therapeutics discovery accelerate, scientists need a reliable partner to consistently deliver genes rapidly at scale and with more complex sequences,” said Emily M. Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience . “At Twist we already had the speed, scale and cost advantage. Now, we’ve added complex sequences to our gene synthesis offering and expanded our length up to 7,000 base pairs. With reliable complexity at scale, we expect to be able to accept about 99.5% of clonal genes sequences sent to us by our customers and 99.9% of all DNA products, making Twist their one-stop-shop, whether they’re ordering straightforward constructs or highly challenging sequences, enabling faster iteration and accelerated discovery timelines for our customers.”

Sequences with complex elements have historically been difficult to produce at commercial scale. Leveraging its proprietary silicon-based DNA synthesis platform and improved downstream processes in manufacturing, automation, and sequencing, Twist can now reliably synthesize and deliver these previously out-of-reach complex sequences at scale. Complex sequence elements such as short tandem, inverted and long repeats, as well as high or low GC content and more, can be essential components of customers’ sequences in the development of nucleic acid therapeutics such as cell and gene therapies, mRNA therapies and more. The ability to synthesize complex sequences is also essential for AI-enabled drug discovery where researchers need their AI-generated sequences manufactured exactly, without adding a step to alter the sequences for manufacturability. By delivering genes with novel and complex structures combined with a transparent online ordering and tracking process, Twist enables customers to advance cutting edge research, empowering the development of new and next-generation therapeutics.

Claude蛋白设计获实验验证

重要性4/5 中高

包含外部实验测试、命中率和失败案例,直接说明TWST实验服务用途,但旧文未给出商业规模。

中文摘要

核心结论

Anthropic 报告,Claude(其人工智能模型)在多靶点蛋白设计中取得实验验证结果,并完成一项化学分析案例。Twist Bioscience(TWST)参与设计产物的制造与测试,为其人工智能研发服务角色提供了实际案例;实验终点仍集中在分子结合和测量分析。

重要性评级

评级:4/5|中高。文章发表于2026年08/18(未给出具体时刻),披露命中率、实验规模、失败靶点和资源条件,证据密度较高;来源为模型开发商自己的研究介绍。

关键事实

  • 文章呈现15个靶点的结果,其中14个获得成功结合的设计。总计1,320个设计产生354个结合蛋白,由 Adaptyv Bio 和 Twist 独立开展实验室制造与测试。
  • 在同时处理多靶点的48小时任务中,Mythos Preview 与 Opus 4.8 的总体命中率分别为26.7%和22.6%。Mythos Preview 逐靶点运行24小时任务时,总体命中率为35.1%。文中引用的常见设计活动命中率为10%至15%,该参考来自公开蛋白设计数据汇总。
  • 作者称,至少6个靶点获得高亲和力结合蛋白,至少4个靶点的结果达到或超过已发表的最佳亲和力。高亲和力在文中定义为平衡解离常数低于10纳摩尔,数值越低通常代表结合越紧密。
  • 对 RBX1(参与调控蛋白降解的蛋白),Mythos Preview 单靶点任务命中率为40%,文章对照的设计竞赛参与者命中率为3.7%。Opus 4.8 在 TNFα(肿瘤坏死因子α,炎症信号蛋白)上成功,Mythos Preview 在该靶点上未成功,说明整体模型能力排序没有覆盖所有靶点差异。
  • 文章还报告了含较多β折叠结构的15个已确认结合蛋白,覆盖6个靶点和10种不同骨架,显示设计结构具有一定多样性。
  • 两类难度较高的靶点中,BBF-14(人工设计的β桶状蛋白)获得3个亲和力较弱的结合蛋白;MBP(麦芽糖结合蛋白)的90个设计均未被确认结合,其中1个出现弱而可重复的信号。
  • 化学分析案例使用一般可访问的 Opus 5。核磁共振分析与液相色谱质谱分析分别用时23分钟和19分钟,二者并行完成。各峰氢原子计数与实验室结果的差异在0.08以内,纯度为96.4%,实验室结果为96.33%。

作者观点与证据

Anthropic 认为通用模型能够协调专业蛋白设计模型,减少人工组织计算及筛选的工作。实验采用已有的专业设计、结构预测与筛选工具;模型开发商提供研究设定并报告结果,外部实验机构承担实物验证。

资源条件对结果解释很重要:多靶点任务最多使用12,500个 NVIDIA H100 图形处理器小时,单靶点任务每个靶点最多2,500个此类计算小时。任务启动后研究人员仍负责访问审批、基础设施维护和送样验证。文中给出了较少人工干预的案例,但没有提供与同等计算资源下人工团队的全面成本比较。

化学分析案例展示了接近实验室结果的测量处理,并包含自我纠正。时间比较有不同口径:文章称常见样本人工分析约需半小时至一小时,而该实验室记录的核磁共振直接操作约2分钟;报告在首轮测量4天后送达,包含工作排队和其他环节。因此23分钟的自动结果与4天报告周期分别反映分析执行和完整交付时间。

与相关标的的关系

TWST 的直接关联是承担蛋白设计产物的制造及实验测试。该案例支持人工智能设计需要真实实验验证的服务需求,但原文没有披露 Twist 获得的订单金额、实验收入、定价或扩展采购计划。

时效性与限制

最初选择了16个靶点,因成熟型 GDF-8(生长分化因子8)出现聚集和非特异性黏附,实验数据不确定,文章仅呈现其余15个。作者计划进一步表征,以确认命中率与亲和力测量。

微型结合蛋白尚非标准药物形式;高亲和力结合只是药物开发中的早期结果,文中没有展示临床疗效、完整药物开发成本或上市成功率。蛋白设计功能还涉及受控科研访问安排,具体可用性以文章发布时的描述为准。

后续跟踪

关注进一步实验表征是否维持当前命中率与亲和力结果,以及作者向其他药物形式、后续研发环节扩展的研究结果。

Claude accelerates protein design and analytical chemistry

How Claude is accelerating protein design and analytical chemistry

Aug 18, 2026

Summary: In this post, we share two results that show how Claude can help life scientists increase the pace of their research. In the first, we tested Claude’s ability to design protein binders from scratch, a key task representative of the early parts of the drug design process and one that has historically taken a specialist weeks or months per target. Claude (Mythos Preview and Opus 4.8) designed protein binders against 15 targets, and succeeded against 14 of them. Between 22% and 35% of its individual designs bound successfully, depending on the setup, compared to the 10-15% that is typical in protein design campaigns today. Some of its strongest designs bound several times more tightly than the best previously published result. In the second example, we evaluated whether Claude can accelerate chemical analysis. Claude Opus 5, a generally available model, was given NMR and LC-MS data (the data that allows chemists to assess the identity and purity of the compounds they work with). Provided with only a contract lab’s raw files and a two-sentence prompt, Claude returned finished results in 23 and 19 minutes, matching the lab’s own analysis on hydrogen counts and purity (96.4% versus 96.33%). These examples demonstrate how Claude can reduce the time and computational expertise currently required to make progress on complex scientific tasks.

The pace of AI-enabled discoveries has quickened over the past few months. The bulk of these discoveries have been in areas where verification is relatively fast. In mathematics, for example, agents have begun to work their way through unsolved problems: Erdős problems that have stood for decades are falling at a rate of several a month, and we recently shared how Claude improved on a longstanding lower bound on the Riemann zeta function .

AI models are also beginning to hasten progress in experimental fields where verifying the results is more complex and expensive, such as in the life sciences. In this post, we share the results of two experiments into Claude’s scientific capabilities. First, we present findings from our investigation into Claude’s performance on a protein design campaign, showing that Claude can design protein binders against a variety of targets as well as (or even better than) leading human experts. Second, we share how Claude Opus 5 performed on an analytical chemistry task, demonstrating how general-access models can support the routine and time-intensive aspects of research.

The protein design and analytical chemistry tasks described below are representative of the work that makes up some parts of the early stages of the drug development process. Accelerating these phases is one component of our much larger effort to speed up drug development end-to-end, many aspects of which have more to do with policy and operational bottlenecks than with improvements in core scientific capabilities.

The results that we’re sharing today were obtained with a combination of our Mythos and Opus models. While life science research tasks are currently blocked in our most capable model, one of our highest priorities is to launch an access program for scientists, and we expect to share more on this soon. In the meantime, Opus 5 remains our most capable generally available model.

Claude designs proteins

When we announced Claude Mythos 5 , we shared that we were experimenting with the model to accelerate parts of the drug design process. As an ongoing part of this work, we have been investigating Claude’s ability to design minibinders for multiple protein targets. A minibinder is a small protein designed to latch tightly onto a target protein. Binding is how a large proportion of modern medicines work: they attach to a target and inhibit, activate, or deliver something to it. Designing a new binder (known as de novo design) has historically taken protein engineers months of computation, optimization, and screening per target.

In recent years, machine-learning models that can design proteins and rank which are most likely to bind have greatly expedited the protein design process. But these models still generally require days (and often weeks) of laborious orchestration by computational experts. And although general reasoning models like Claude can help both experts and non-experts more efficiently design proteins computationally, validating that data in a wet lab (where scientists physically test chemicals, drugs, and other biological substances) still takes weeks.

We have now received wet lab data back for the first of these experiments, a multi-arm protein design campaign against 15 targets using Claude Opus 4.8 and Mythos Preview. Our external evaluators, Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience , independently produced and tested Claude’s designs in the lab, finding that of the 15 targets we designed against, Claude successfully designed binders against 14 of them. These include high-affinity binders 1 against at least six targets, and binders matching or exceeding the best reported affinity against at least four targets. Affinity is a measure of how strongly a protein binds to its target; high-affinity binders are generally needed to achieve a therapeutic effect because they make the drug effective at lower doses, reducing the risk of side effects and the cost to manufacture them.

Mythos Preview and Opus 4.8 achieve overall hit rates—how many of the designs are, in fact, binders—of 26.7% and 22.6%, respectively, when designing against all targets simultaneously in a 48-hour session. 10 to 15% is typical in protein design campaigns today. 2

After assessing Claude’s ability to design against multiple targets, we wanted to understand whether having it focus on a single target at a time would improve its performance, especially given that this better represents the approach typically taken by a protein engineer. Indeed, we found that Mythos Preview achieves an overall hit rate of 35.1% when designing against each target separately using multiple 24-hour sessions.

Mythos Preview and Opus 4.8 achieve hit rates over 20% across a set of 15 targets, with target-level hit rates ranging from as high as 90% to as low as 0%.

This campaign was carried out with minimal human involvement 3 beyond the information we provided Claude in our initial prompt ( link ). We expect that in the hands of expert protein designers this approach would yield even stronger results, especially if they give Claude active guidance and feedback on intermediate results.

The campaign

We began our protein design campaign by selecting multiple targets 4 that are commonly used in protein design benchmarks, including all of Adaptyv Bio’s BenchBB . Because these targets have been studied extensively, we can compare our results against published hit rates and affinities. We also chose two novel targets, 15-PGDH and GDF-8 , from Adaptyv Bio’s most recent competitions to ensure Claude was able to design against targets without drawing upon pre-recorded successes in its training data or from online search (for all targets, we required Claude to check for and ensure that its designs were original).

We then prompted Claude to design protein binders against these targets in Claude Science . For this, we took two approaches. The first was a multi-target mode, where Claude designed against all targets simultaneously in a single Claude Science session. The second was a single-target mode, in which each session addressed one target and sessions for all targets ran in parallel.

We ran Opus 4.8 and Mythos Preview in multi-target mode with 48 hours of wall time and up to 12,500 NVIDIA H100 hours of compute for running specialized protein design and folding models. We also ran Mythos Preview in single-target mode with 24 hours of wall time and up to 2,500 NVIDIA H100 hours of compute for each target. 5

To emulate the resources available during a typical protein design campaign, we gave Claude the following:

  • An extensive protein design prompt 6 that was also included in the agent context;
  • Access to the internet and a corpus of resources, such as papers, on protein design;
  • Connectors for Google Drive, Slack, Gmail, and BioRxiv;
  • Access to GPUs for running specialized protein design and folding models;
  • No limits on token and sub-agent budget within the allotted time, and fast mode enabled.

After giving Claude the prompt, we left the model to execute autonomously. We provided no additional scientific, technical, or operational guidance after we initiated the campaigns.

Our only involvement was granting access approvals (such as network access requests) and monitoring the infrastructure to ensure the sessions were running. Claude conducted all of the work that goes into designing a binder, which can take a human operator weeks. It chose where on each protein target to design against; generated candidate structures and sequences by orchestrating several structure design, sequence design, and co-folding models (models that predict the structure of a protein, together with whatever it binds, in a single pass); ran the designs through multiple cycles of in silico optimization; and computationally screened for novel, diverse candidates that would express, stay soluble, and bind.

For each of the 15 targets, we asked Claude to design 30 protein binders. Claude did this by operating publicly available specialist protein design and co-folding models that the field already uses. Claude’s designs were then sent to Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience to validate.

Claude successfully orchestrates multiple open-source protein design models, generating binders with high success rates and high affinities. a) Sankey diagram depicting Claude’s combinations of structure design, sequence design, and optimization rounds. b, c) Claude designs binders with hit rates over 20%, including high-affinity binders, for all structure design methods with at least 100 ordered designs.

Claude’s performance on the targets

By the end of this effort, we produced 354 binders against 14 of 15 targets using a total of 1,320 designs. This represents a significant contribution to the total corpus of publicly available de novo protein designs; for example, the two largest collections, proteinbase.com and the collection curated by Overath et al. , consist of approximately 770 binders out of 5,700 designs against 40 targets. Below, we share three examples highlighting Claude’s capabilities, and one showing its limitations. You can find more detail in our technical report ( link ).

Claude’s designs are competitive with entries in Adaptyv Bio’s protein design competition

We found that for the targets Adaptyv Bio has run competitions for, Claude performs at or beyond the level of the top participants on both hit rate and affinity. Against RBX1 (a small protein that drives the targeted destruction of specific regulatory proteins), Mythos Preview in single-target mode achieved a 40% hit rate, compared to a 3.7% hit rate among participants. Its top-ranked design was a high-affinity binder that outperformed the winning design, which was among 245 designs entered.

Claude designs binders against RBX1 with state-of-the-art affinity, and routinely surpasses hit rates recorded in Adaptyv Bio’s protein design competitions.

Claude designs species cross-reactive binders against TNFα , a challenging, therapeutically relevant target

Interestingly, Opus 4.8, and not Mythos Preview, succeeds on TNFα, a target multiple expert groups have struggled with. TNFα is a signaling protein released by the immune system to trigger inflammation, and blocking it is the therapeutic basis for some of the most impactful drugs ever made, including Humira. It’s a challenging target to design against because of its multimeric structure, which requires targeting a binding site in the groove formed by two proteins. Although Mythos Preview was unsuccessful, Opus 4.8 designed multiple binders, including some that worked across species, binding human, cynomolgus monkey, and mouse TNFα, which is important for conducting animal studies. We’re not sure why Opus 4.8 was successful on this target and Mythos Preview was not. When we assess our models' capabilities, we do so holistically. Given the inherent complexity of protein design, it’s unsurprising that there would be specific areas where an overall less capable model could still outperform one that was generally more capable.

Opus 4.8 successfully designed de novo binders against TNFα, some of which were cross-reactive and bound human, cynomolgus monkey, and mouse TNFα.

Claude designs fold-diverse binders with β-sheets

Most computationally designed binders are bundles of α-helices, a protein secondary structure consisting of coils. β-sheets, in which extended strands of amino acids must line up side by side, are harder to design and more prone to misfolding and aggregation (when protein molecules stick to each other instead of staying separate and properly folded). Claude designed 15 confirmed binders across six targets that contain at least 20% β-strand, demonstrating its ability to reason about protein structure.

Claude successfully designed 15 binders (across 10 distinct backbones) with β-sheets against six targets.

Claude struggled against some targets

Certain targets remained a challenge for Claude, including BBF-14 and maltose-binding protein (MBP). BBF-14 is a β-barrel-shaped protein that does not exist in nature: it was itself de novo designed , and it is now used as a benchmark for binder design precisely because of its novelty. MBP’s structure is also especially difficult. MBP is a large, flexible bacterial protein with a smooth, water-loving surface that makes it a good lab reagent. This leaves a binder very little to grab on to. Claude still managed to produce three independent BBF-14 binders—one from each design arm, and each built on a different backbone—with modest (sub-micromolar to micromolar) affinities. Against MBP, however, none of the 90 designs was confirmed to have bound to the target, although one demonstrated a weak, reproducible binding signal.

Claude had limited success in designing protein binders against BBF-14, a de novo designed beta barrel, and maltose binding protein (MBP).

To better understand how well Claude performed across these design campaigns, we intend to follow our experiments with more extensive characterization to confirm our hit rates and affinity measurements. In the meantime, we are sharing the prompts we used for these campaigns, as well as all in vitro and in silico data we generated. 7

Agentic biological discovery is dual-use

The uplift provided by the increasingly autonomous research capabilities of AI models will undoubtedly speed the development of human therapies and fundamental scientific discoveries. However, such capabilities are also dual-use: without robust safety measures, they could enable bad actors to perform dangerous research, such as the development of bioweapons. As we work to deliver these capabilities safely via trusted access programs, protein design and other dual-use research biology capabilities remain unavailable for general access in Claude Fable 5. However, as you’ll see below, our Opus-class models are capable of remarkable scientific work.

Claude runs the analytical chemistry workflow

Where the protein binder campaign tested Claude’s ability to design new molecules, the second experiment tested its ability to interpret measurements of molecules already made. Characterizing a compound is cumbersome work; much like protein design, it requires chemists to perform many rounds of measurement, analysis, and iteration. For example, every time a chemist creates a molecule, they must establish whether it is what they intended to produce and how pure it is. This is typically done with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. An NMR spectrum is a series of peaks, each corresponding to a hydrogen atom, or a group of equivalent hydrogens, somewhere in the molecule. The location of the peaks shows chemists what each hydrogen atom is attached to, and the size of the peak shows how many hydrogens it represents. Confirming a structure is one of the most time-consuming steps in synthetic chemistry; for every compound, a chemist has to match each peak in the spectrum to an atom in the proposed structure by hand.

The other technique, used mainly to assess purity, is liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS), which first separates the sample into its individual components as they flow through a column, then records how much of each is present based on its ultraviolet absorbance, before measuring the molecular mass of each one. For both techniques, the instrument run itself takes only a few minutes (two to three for a routine proton NMR spectrum; about 10 for an LC-MS run). The tedious part is analyzing the output. After NMR and LC-MS are run, each instrument produces a raw file in the manufacturer’s own format that is meant to be opened in that manufacturer’s (or other specialist) software. 8

Given how painstaking it is to process and interpret these files, we wanted to see how a generally available model such as Claude Opus 5 would perform at this task. 9 Supplied with only a contract lab’s raw files for a routine quality-control sample and a short plain-language prompt, 10 with no vendor software and no operator, Claude, working within Claude Science, returned processed NMR and LC-MS results in 23 and 19 minutes, respectively, working in parallel. Its results matched the lab’s own processing—hydrogen counts per peak were within 0.08 ¹H of the lab’s, and its purity was measured at 96.4% versus the 96.33% of the lab.

What the lab sent, and what Claude returned 23 minutes later. (left) The raw NMR signal as it comes off the instrument; (right) the processed spectrum, with each peak located and its hydrogens counted.

For the NMR data, Claude converted the raw data from the instrument into a calibrated spectrum and a table of 18 peaks, with a hydrogen count for each. Next, as a chemist would, it flagged four broad peaks as hydrogens that were probably attached to nitrogen or oxygen. It then proposed the standard check: add heavy water to the NMR sample, which swaps those hydrogens out so their peaks shrink or vanish. (Independently, the lab had run this same check three days after the first measurement.) Given the raw file from the heavy-water run, Claude quantified what had changed in the data, caught and corrected an overstatement in its first reading (its first pass reported that all four flagged peaks had disappeared, but its own self-check showed that only two had), and arrived at the same conclusion as the lab’s operator.

(left) The LC-MS run as it arrived, as a file of raw bytes in a format only the manufacturer’s software is meant to read. (right) The chromatogram Claude recovered from it 19 minutes later: a single component at 4.34 minutes carrying 96.4% of the UV signal, with a molecular mass of 504 daltons.

The LC-MS instrument files use an undocumented vendor format. Claude worked out how the data was encoded, then confirmed it had read the file correctly by reproducing the instrument's own recorded totals for all 2,664 scans before analyzing anything. It then delivered all the outputs a chemist would expect: the separation trace, mass and UV spectra, a purity table, the compound’s molecular mass, as well as reusable code for reading such files, alongside its own list of caveats about the trustworthiness of the results (it noted, for example, that this class of instrument gives the mass only to the nearest whole unit).

Ordinarily, a chemist does all this analysis by hand. This typically takes half an hour to an hour per sample for a therapeutically relevant small molecule (the lab’s own records show about two minutes of hands-on processing per NMR spectrum, with the LC-MS report following about two hours after the sample was loaded onto the instrument). Claude Science processed and interpreted both files in parallel within those 25 minutes. Claude also produced a written report in that time, whereas the lab’s finished report for this sample arrived four days after the first spectrum was acquired—a fairly standard lag time given that they analyze molecules one at a time, and work may crop up in between.

Beyond the increased efficiency, Claude’s run also showed a degree of scientific judgment, for instance in proposing the very same follow-up experiment the contract lab had independently run. As these models continue to improve, we expect Claude’s scientific judgment to become more acute.

To try this yourself in Claude Science , give Claude a raw NMR or LC-MS file and ask the model to confirm the compound’s identity and purity.

Conclusion

Both of the examples above demonstrate how AI models can accelerate research in the life sciences by reducing the expertise, cost, and time involved in scientific discovery. In chemistry, Claude is automating analyses that chemists have historically done by hand. In protein design, Claude can execute binder design campaigns end-to-end with minimal input, producing binders that match or surpass the best previously published designs.

Protein minibinders are not a standard therapeutic modality for drugs and even for the common drug modalities, such as monoclonal antibodies and small molecules, designing a high-affinity binder is just the first step in the process of generating a drug-like molecule. However, we view this work as foundational, and are extending it so that Claude can run the entire development process end-to-end across all drug modalities.

  • We consider binders to be high-affinity if they have at most single-digit nanomolar equilibrium dissociation constants (KD < 10 nM).
  • Derived by calculating overall de novo protein binder hit rates on https://proteinbase.com/ .
  • This consisted of approving certain requests made by Claude (e.g., network access requests, code execution requests), resolving infrastructure issues outside of the protein design sessions, and ordering the generated designs for experimental validation.
  • In total, we selected 16 targets (the default species was human where relevant). In alphabetical order, they are: 15-PGDH, BBF-14, BHRF1, Cas9, EGFR, GDF-8 (Latent), GDF-8 (Mature), IL-7Rα, Maltose Binding Protein (MBP), Nipah virus Glycoprotein G, PD-L1, RBX1, TNFα, TREM2, TrkA, and VEGF-A. We present results for 15 of 16 targets, as the experimental data for one target, GDF-8 (Mature), were inconclusive due to target aggregation and non-specific stickiness.
  • 15-PGDH and latent GDF-8 were not used in multi-target mode. Opus 4.8 was run in single-target mode against three targets: TNFα, latent GDF-8, and mature GDF-8.
  • Consisting of roughly 30,000 tokens, shared here .
  • Prompts, computational models of the designed protein complexes, and experimental data can all be found here .
  • For NMR, the raw signal (a “free induction decay”) as written by the spectrometer; for LC-MS, the instrument’s binary run file. Both are raw proprietary instrument files.
  • We have previously shared work on Claude’s performance analyzing NMR data against standard software.
  • The NMR prompt, in full: “i have a raw 1H FID: process it: FT, phase, baseline-correct. show me the spectrum. then pick peaks and integrate: give me a table with δ (ppm), multiplicity, J (Hz), and integral.” The LC-MS prompt: “Process the raw LCMS file: extract chromatograms and mass spectra, and summarize with figures.”

Twist收入新高与盈利目标

重要性5/5 高

官方财务附件具备分部增长、费用与盈利调节信息,直接约束TWST增长及盈利判断。

中文摘要

核心结论

Twist Bioscience(合成生物学工具公司,TWST)2026财年第三季度收入增长23%至1.184亿美元,毛利率升至52.8%,并上调全年收入指引。公司继续预计第四季度调整后 EBITDA(息税折旧摊销前利润,按公司口径剔除额外项目)盈亏平衡,第三季度实际仍为亏损。

重要性评级

评级:5/5|高。2026年08/03(未给出具体时刻)公布的官方财报附件提供分部收入、成本、流动资金和盈利指标,是判断 TWST 业务表现的直接基础;报告期截至06/30。

关键事实

  • 第三季度收入1.184亿美元,上年同期9,610万美元;公司称连续14个季度环比增长。
  • DNA Synthesis and Protein Solutions(DNA合成与蛋白解决方案,DSPS)收入5,660万美元,同比增长39%,较前季5,330万美元增长6%。NGS Applications(下一代测序应用,NGS)收入6,180万美元,同比增长12%,较前季5,740万美元增长8%。
  • 收入成本5,590万美元,毛利率52.8%,较前季51.6%提高1.2个百分点。研发费用约1,800万美元,与上年同期基本持平;销售、一般及行政费用8,070万美元,上年同期6,340万美元。
  • 按 GAAP(美国通用会计准则),经营亏损3,628万美元,上年同期亏损3,012万美元;净亏损3,505万美元,稀释每股亏损0.56美元。上年同期净利润2,039万美元包含 Atlas Data Storage 分拆产生的4,885万美元出售业务收益。
  • 调整后 EBITDA 亏损1,133万美元,上年同期亏损800万美元。公司本季调整项目包括1,818万美元股权薪酬及678万美元折旧摊销等。
  • 截至06/30,现金、现金等价物与短期投资合计约1.67亿美元。第三季度向约2,650名客户发货,上年同期约2,480名;实际发运约36.9万个基因,上年同期约23.7万个,公司同时报告数据表征用基因制造量持续环比增长。
  • 公司称 Complex Genes(复杂基因产品)结束早期访问阶段并向广泛客户正式商业推出。

作者观点与证据

管理层强调收入增长和毛利率提升,预计以第四季度调整后 EBITDA 盈亏平衡为基础推进2027财年的盈利增长。已公布的季度财务数据与这一前瞻目标分别对应实际结果和管理层预期。

业务增长较快的分部为 DSPS,但公告没有将其收入拆分为人工智能客户贡献。销售及管理费用增长、经营亏损扩大和调整后 EBITDA 同比亏损增加,说明本季度毛利改善尚未形成相应盈利结果。去年净利润中的出售业务收益也影响年度净利润对比。

与相关标的的关系

所有财务数据直接对应 TWST。数据表征基因制造量增长与复杂基因正式商业供应,提供了研发服务及产品扩展的业务线索;原文没有单独披露人工智能相关订单、收入或利润。

时效性与限制

公司将2026财年全年收入指引由4.42亿至4.47亿美元提高至4.56亿至4.57亿美元,中点上调1,200万美元,预计同比增长约21%;全年毛利率预计高于52%。第四季度收入指引为1.23亿至1.24亿美元,中点同比增幅约25%,并预计两个分部均环比增长。

上述指引和第四季度调整后 EBITDA 盈亏平衡目标为8月发布时的预期,文章没有第四季度实际结果。调整后指标排除股权薪酬等成本;公司未提供对应的第四季度 GAAP 净损益指引,解释为未来调整项难以可靠预测。

后续跟踪

关注第四季度收入及两个分部增长是否符合指引、毛利率能否维持高于52%,以及调整后 EBITDA 目标的实际兑现,同时结合 GAAP 费用与损益观察盈利质量。

Fiscal 2026 Financial Guidance

The following statements are based on Twist’s current expectations for fiscal 2026. The following statements are forward-looking, and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

For the full fiscal year 2026, Twist expects :

• Total revenue in the range of $456 million to $457 million, growth of approximately 21% year over year, compared to prior guidance of $442 to $447 million.

• Gross margin to be above 52%.

For the fourth quarter, Twist expects:

• Total revenue of approximately $123 million to $124 million, growth of approximately 25% yea r over year at the midpoint, with sequential growth in both DSPS and NGS Applications.

• To achieve adjusted EBITDA breakeven.

Non-GAAP Information

This release includes adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income adjusted to exclude interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement costs, net of recoveries, other income/expense, net, and stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors’ and analysts’ ability to meaningfully compare our results from period to period and to our forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in our business. However, non-GAAP information is not superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation table of the most comparable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 to a corresponding GAAP financial guidance measure is not available on a forward-looking basis because the Company does not provide guidance on GAAP net (loss) income and is not able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP net (loss) income and adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable effort. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is impacted by the Company’s future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of its common stock, all of which is difficult to predict and is subject to change. The actual amount of these expenses during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 will have a significant impact on Twist’s future GAAP financial results.

Conference Call Information

The company plans to hold a conference call and live audio webcast for analysts and investors at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time today to discuss its financial results and provide an update on the company’s business. The conference call will be webcast live through the Investor Relations section under the “Company” tab at www.twistbioscience.com. Those parties interested in participating via telephone must register on the Company’s Investor Relations website or by clicking here. Upon registration, all telephone participants will receive the dial-in number along with a unique PIN number that can be used to access the call. To avoid delays, we encourage participants to dial into the conference call fifteen minutes ahead of the scheduled start time. The webcast replay will be available for two weeks.

Twist增发募资与股本稀释

重要性4/5 中高

SEC一手融资披露包含发行价格、净募资、股本和亏损数据,对TWST资金及稀释研究直接有用;8月文件的历史时效限制了当日报告优先级。

中文摘要

核心结论

Twist Bioscience(股票代码 TWST)的招股补充书披露,以每股96美元发行312.5万股普通股,基础发行总额3亿美元,预计净募资约2.843亿美元,用于研发、制造产能、产品及一般经营支出。文件同时明确了新增股本、持续亏损和后续融资空间,是评估公司资金补充与稀释的重要历史证据。

重要性评级

评级4/5,中高。公司向 SEC(美国证券交易委员会)提交的一手文件直接披露融资条款、经营数据及股本口径,证据密度较高;发布日期为2026年08/04(未给出具体时刻),截至10/08已是历史融资资料,不能视为当日新增催化。

关键事实

  • 发行价格与费用: 每股发行价96美元;承销折扣及佣金每股4.80美元,基础发行合计1,500万美元;扣除承销费用、尚未扣除其他发行费用的所得为2.85亿美元。公司另估计承担约70万美元发行费用,因此预计最终净募资为2.843亿美元。文中列出的08/04纳斯达克最后成交价为99.44美元,该价格仅对应文件日期。
  • 额外发行与交付安排: 承销商获得30天内购买最多468,750股额外普通股的选择权;若全部行使,预计净募资约3.271亿美元。文件预计于2026年08/06(未给出具体时刻)前后交付股份。承销代表为 Goldman Sachs(高盛)、William Blair、Leerink Partners 和 Guggenheim Securities。
  • 发行后的股本口径: 以2026年06/30的62,674,150股已发行普通股为基数,基础发行后预计为65,799,150股,额外购买权全部行使后为66,267,900股。这些数字未计入997,499股期权、2,602,711股限制性股票单位、2,394,498股绩效限制性股票单位,以及激励计划和员工购股计划下的预留股份。公司当时另有约2亿美元 ATM(按市场价格发行股票)额度,销售代理为 TD Securities(道明证券);截至补充书日期该计划尚未出售股份。
  • 资金用途: 公司拟将募集所得与已有现金、现金等价物和短期投资共同用于研发投入、扩大制造产能、产品开发、营运资本及其他一般公司用途。部分资金也可能用于技术许可、收购或投资互补业务、平台、产品与资产,但当时没有相应承诺或义务;管理层保留较广泛的资金分配裁量权,文件没有逐项预算或实施时间表。
  • 经营与亏损: 截至2026年06/30的2026财年第三季度,收入1.184亿美元,净亏损约3,510万美元,稀释后每股亏损0.56美元;调整后 EBITDA(息税折旧摊销前利润)为负1,130万美元。该非 GAAP(非美国公认会计准则)指标剔除了包括约1,817.6万美元股权薪酬在内的调整项,不能替代净利润或现金流。
  • 账面稀释: 06/30未经审计的有形净资产为约3.508亿美元,每股5.60美元;按基础发行及费用作备考调整后约为6.352亿美元,每股9.65美元。文件所称新投资者每股86.35美元稀释,是96美元发行价与发行后每股有形净资产的差额;它不代表预计股价跌幅,也不等同于现有股东持股比例被稀释的幅度。
  • 股份出售与分红安排: 公司及董事、高管原则上承诺60天出售限制,但含激励、特定战略交易、既有预设交易计划等例外,高盛可给予书面豁免。公司没有支付过普通股现金股息,且当时没有可预见时期内支付股息的计划。

作者观点与证据

这是发行人的融资披露,业务优势和市场预测体现公司管理层的表述。Twist称,其硅芯片合成 DNA(脱氧核糖核酸)平台通过专有硬件、软件与自动化实现精度、规模和成本优势,产品覆盖克隆基因、NGS(下一代测序)样本制备、抗体文库及生物药发现服务。公司以2025年09/30为基准披露,年服务客户超过3,800家,覆盖全球前35家诊断公司的33家、前20家药企的19家、前30家生物科技公司的21家及前50所大学的41所。客户覆盖支持平台具有广泛应用,但文件没有给出各类客户的订单金额或收入贡献。

公司结合第三方行业报告与内部估计,预计2030年可服务市场超过130亿美元,其中 NGS 应用约60亿美元、DNA合成和蛋白解决方案超过70亿美元,对应综合年增长率估计分别约14%和11%。这些属于带有假设的市场机会估计,文件并未据此提供确定的公司收入预测,也提醒部分统计来源未逐项列明、行业数据不保证完整准确。

与相关标的的关系

TWST是本次普通股发行的直接主体,募资及新增股份影响其资金资源与每股口径。文件将传统和 AI(人工智能)辅助药物发现列为产品应用场景,并提到将人工智能与机器学习用于运营、产品开发及客户解决方案的能力;它没有披露人工智能相关收入占比、特定客户采购量或由人工智能带来的新增订单,因而对该业务主题提供的是应用背景。

时效性与限制

该文件包含08/04补充书及06/18基础招股书,补充书的具体发行条款应优先于基础文件的一般发行描述。文中的净募资、交付和发行后股本均为文件时点的预计或备考口径;这份资料本身不能确认后续是否完成交割、额外购买权是否行使、ATM额度是否使用,或10/08的实际现金与流通股数。多项经营风险及完整财务报表通过引用其他申报文件纳入,本文没有展开这些被引用文件的全部内容。SEC接收披露不构成对证券价值或材料完整性的批准。

后续跟踪

原文支持继续核对交割与额外购买权结果、后续实际股本和现金变化、研发及制造扩张支出、毛利率和亏损改善,以及ATM和股权激励带来的新增股份。相关观察需要后续申报数据确认,不能从本次募资用途自动推定投资回报或盈利时间。

证据限制:Original text is extracted for authorized station-internal report reading under configured access protection.;公司事实及主张不等于独立验证或未来结果。

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering of shares of our common stock and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. The second part, the accompanying base prospectus, gives more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. You should read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus before deciding to invest in our common stock.

In this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as permitted by law, we “incorporate by reference” information from other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and should be read with the same care. When we update the information contained in documents that have been incorporated by reference by making future filings with the SEC, the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is considered to be automatically updated and superseded. In other words, in case of a conflict or inconsistency between information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and information incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information contained in the document that was filed most recently with the SEC.

Neither we nor the underwriters have authorized any other person to provide you with any information other than that contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any relevant free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We and the underwriters take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the offering of the common stock in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus supplement must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the common stock and the distribution of this prospectus supplement outside the United States. This prospectus supplement does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this prospectus supplement by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.

The information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the date of the accompanying prospectus, as applicable, and the information in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate only as of the date of those respective documents, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or of any sale of our common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. It is important for you to read and consider all information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in making your investment decision. You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, as well as the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and the additional information described under “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference” in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus, before investing in our common stock.

When we refer to “Twist,” “we,” “our” and “us” in this prospectus supplement, we mean Twist Bioscience Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified.

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference contain statistical data, estimates and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on our internal sources. In some cases, we do not expressly refer to the sources from which this data is derived. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates. In addition, industry publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications and other publicly available information.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus supplement. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our common stock. For a more complete understanding of our company and this offering, you should carefully read and consider the more detailed information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, including the factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

Overview

We provide customizable solutions across the biological continuum that enable scientific discovery and development across therapeutics, diagnostics and other high-growth markets. Our proprietary silicon-based platform delivers precision, scale and speed, supporting consistent, high-quality performance across a broad range of applications.

At the core of our platform is a differentiated method of manufacturing synthetic DNA by “writing” DNA on a silicon chip. By integrating proprietary hardware, software and scalable infrastructure, including our e-commerce platform, we achieve high levels of precision, automation and throughput at a lower cost relative to legacy methods.

We have extended this platform beyond DNA synthesis to offer an integrated portfolio that includes multiple products and services, including clonal genes, next-generation sequencing (“NGS”), sample preparation tools, antibody libraries and biologics discovery services. These solutions are designed to improve research efficiency, accelerate development timelines and deliver reproducible, high-quality data. Leveraging the same platform, we also manufacture synthetic RNA, express antibody proteins, perform characterization assays and deliver data to customers and partners.

Our solutions, DNA synthesis and protein solutions and NGS applications, support a wide range of applications, including traditional and AI-enabled therapeutics discovery, diagnostic development, industrial and applied research, agricultural biotechnology and academic research. By increasing efficiency and scalability in research and development, we support efforts to improve human health and sustainability.

As of September 30, 2025, we serve more than 3,800 customers annually across therapeutics, diagnostics, industrial and applied markets, academia, government and global supply partners, including 33 of the top 35 diagnostic companies, 19 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, 21 of the top 30 leading biotech companies and 41 of the top 50 worldwide universities. Our multi-channel commercial strategy includes direct sales teams aligned to key markets, an e-commerce platform that enables customers to design, validate and order customized products on demand, with real-time pricing and order tracking, a custom API for those wishing to order directly, an inside sales team and OEM agreements with many companies to expand our reach.

We believe our solutions address large and growing market opportunities. Based on multiple third-party industry reports and our internal estimates, we believe that new product introductions, together with market share gains, will expand our combined serviceable addressable market across our solutions to more than $13 billion by 2030. Specifically, we estimate that, by 2030, the serviceable addressable market for our NGS applications will be approximately $6 billion, within a total addressable market of more than $90 billion, growing at a blended rate of approximately 14% annually, and the serviceable addressable market for our DNA synthesis and protein solutions will be more than $7 billion, within a total addressable market of approximately $18 billion, growing at a blended rate of approximately 11% annually.

Recent Developments

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $118.4 million. Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $35.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $(11.3) million.

S-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net (loss) income adjusted to exclude interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, other income/expense, net, and stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors’ and analysts’ ability to meaningfully compare our results from period to period and to our forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in our business. However, non-GAAP information is not superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation between adjusted EBITDA and net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the three months ended June 30, 2026:

TABLE OF CONTENTS ​

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making a decision whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below and discussed under “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to such Form 10-K, as well as any amendments thereto, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement in their entirety, as updated or superseded by the risks described under similar headings in the other documents that are filed after the date hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, together with the other information in this prospectus supplement, the documents incorporated by reference and any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.” The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to This Offering and Our Common Stock

We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash and cash equivalents, including for any of the purposes described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding such application. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of the proceeds, with only limited information concerning management’s specific intentions. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management might not apply the net proceeds or our existing cash in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering or our existing cash and cash equivalents in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected business and financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering.

The price per share of our common stock being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock prior to this offering. Our net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2026, was approximately $5.60 per share. After giving effect to this offering at the public offering price of $96.00 per share and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of $86.35 per share (or $85.77 per share if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full), representing the difference between the offering price and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2026. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see the section titled “Dilution” below. To the extent after this offering we make any future equity issuances, including the issuance of common stock under our 2018 Plan, 2018 ESPP, and Inducement Plan, there will be further dilution to investors. In addition, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future by issuing equity securities under the Sales Agreement or otherwise issue shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for our common stock, our then existing stockholders may experience dilution. Additionally, the new securities may have rights senior to those of our common stock offered in this offering.

S-7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Future sales of equity could result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering, including under the Sales Agreement, at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by any investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into our common stock, in future transactions, including under the Sales Agreement, may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by any investors in this offering.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock, impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities, and make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their common stock at a time and price that they deem appropriate.

We and our executive officers and directors have agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, during the period ending 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, we and they will not offer, sell, dispose of or hedge any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock, subject to specified limited exceptions, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, who may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice. Shares held by directors, executive officers and other affiliates will be subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and various vesting agreements. Sales of a substantial number of such shares upon expiration of the lock-up agreements, the perception that such sales may occur or early release of these agreements, could cause our market price to fall or make it more difficult for you to sell your common stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate.

In addition, certain of our executive officers, directors and affiliated stockholders have entered or may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans providing for sales of shares of our common stock from time to time. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the executive officer, director or affiliated stockholder when entering into the plan, without further direction from the executive officer, director or affiliated stockholder. A Rule 10b5-1 plan may be amended or terminated in some circumstances. Our executive officers, directors and affiliated stockholders that have entered into Rule 10b5-1 plans may not purchase or sell the Company’s common stock outside of such Rule 10b5-1 plan as long as such plan is in place.

We have filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR, which allows us to offer and sell an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, or units from time to time pursuant to one or more offerings at prices and terms to be determined at the time of the sale.

We have never paid dividends on our capital stock and we do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Consequently, any gains from an investment in our common stock will likely depend on whether the price of our common stock increases.

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the operation of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after any price appreciation as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of 3,125,000 shares of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $284.3 million, or approximately $327.1 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses we expect to pay.

Our management will have broad discretion over the uses of the net proceeds in this offering. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, to fund research and development investments, expansion of manufacturing capacity, product offerings, and the remainder for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds and our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to in-license, acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technology platforms, products or assets. However, we have no current commitments or obligations to do so.

The amounts and timing of our expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represent our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from the sale of the securities offered by us hereunder. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds and investors will be relying upon the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. We reserve the right to change the use of these proceeds.

Pending application of any net proceeds as described above, net proceeds may be invested temporarily until they are used for their stated purpose or for general corporate purposes.

DILUTION

If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the unaudited net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. As of June 30, 2026, our unaudited net tangible book value was $350.8 million or $5.60 per share of our common stock. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible assets (total assets, less total liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets) by the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2026.

After giving effect to our sale in this offering of 3,125,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $96.00 per share, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted unaudited pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2026 would have been approximately $635.2 million, or $9.65 per share of our common stock. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted unaudited pro forma net tangible book value of $4.06 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $86.35 per share to investors purchasing securities in this offering.

The following table illustrates the dilution:

To the extent that any options are exercised, any restricted stock units vest, any new awards are issued under our 2018 Plan, 2018 ESPP and Inducement Plan, or we otherwise issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock in the future, there will be further dilution to new investors. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date. We may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and have no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness we incur. We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS

This section discusses the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the ownership and sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock sold pursuant to this offering to a “non-U.S. holder” ​(as defined below). This discussion does not provide a complete analysis of all potential tax considerations. The information provided below is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Services, or IRS, and judicial decisions currently in effect. These authorities may change at any time, possibly on a retroactive basis, or the IRS might interpret the existing authorities differently. In either case, the U.S. federal income tax considerations of owning or disposing of our common stock could differ from those described below. As a result, we cannot assure you that the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this discussion will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS.

This discussion does not address the tax considerations arising under any alternative minimum tax, the net investment income tax, the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, or under U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to an investor’s particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

•

banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

​

•

partnerships or entities or arrangements treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or investors in such entities);

​

•

corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

​

•

tax-exempt or governmental organizations or tax-qualified retirement plans;

​

•

real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

​

•

controlled foreign corporations, foreign controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies;

​

•

persons who acquired our common stock pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation for services;

​

•

brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;

​

•

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

​

•

persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than 5% of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below);

​

•

certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

​

•

persons who hold our common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction;

​

•

persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to our common stock as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

​

•

persons who do not hold our common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, for investment purposes); or

​

•

persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

​

In addition, if a partnership or entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a beneficial owner of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership or an owner of the entity will depend upon the status of the partner or owner and the activities of the partnership or entity.

S-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Accordingly, this discussion does not address U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to partnerships that hold our common stock, and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors.

Investors considering the purchase of our common stock should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. federal income, gift and estate tax laws to their particular situations and the consequences of non-U.S., state or local laws, and tax treaties.

Non-U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this section, a “non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of our common stock, other than an entity or arrangement taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is not:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

​

•

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state therein or the District of Columbia or otherwise treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

​

•

a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or

​

•

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of source.

​

If you are a non-U.S. citizen who is an individual, you may be deemed to be a resident alien, as opposed to a nonresident alien, by virtue of being present in the United States for at least 31 days in the calendar year and for an aggregate of at least 183 days during a three-year period ending in the current calendar year. For these purposes, all the days present in the current year, one-third of the days present in the immediately preceding year, and one-sixth of the days present in the second preceding year are counted. Resident aliens are subject to U.S. federal income tax as if they were U.S. citizens. Such an individual is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock.

Distributions

As described in the section entitled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate declaring or paying in the foreseeable future any cash dividends on our capital stock. In the future, if we make any distributions on shares of our common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that is applied against and reduces, but not below zero, a non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in shares of our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock. See the section titled “— Sale, Exchange or other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock.”

Any distribution made to a non-U.S. holder on our common stock that is not effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate. Subject to the discussion below regarding the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, and backup withholding, the 30% withholding tax might not apply, or might apply at a reduced rate, under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the non-U.S. holder’s country of residence. You should consult your tax advisors regarding your entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty. Generally, in order for us or our paying agent to withhold tax at a lower treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must certify its entitlement to treaty benefits. A non-U.S. holder generally can meet this certification requirement by providing an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form to the IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) to us or our paying agent. If the non-U.S. holder holds the stock through a financial institution or other intermediary, the non-U.S. holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to the applicable withholding

TABLE OF CONTENTS

agent. If you are eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an income tax treaty, you may obtain a refund or credit from the IRS of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS in a timely manner.

Distributions received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder, and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the non-U.S. holder’s country of residence, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States, are not subject to the 30% withholding tax. To obtain this exemption, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected distributions, although not subject to U.S. withholding tax, are generally taxed at the same regular rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits. Distributions received by corporate non-U.S. holders that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the corporate non-U.S. holder may also be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items, although an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the non-U.S. holder’s country of residence might provide for a lower rate.

Sale, Exchange or other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below regarding FATCA and backup withholding, non-U.S. holders will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gains realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

•

the gain (1) is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. holder of a U.S. trade or business and (2) if required by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the non-U.S. holder’s country of residence, is attributable to a permanent establishment (or, in the case of an individual, a fixed base) maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States (in which case the special rules described below apply);

​

•

the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock, and certain other requirements are met (in which case the gain would be subject to a flat 30% tax, or such reduced rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, which may be offset by certain U.S.-source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States, provided that the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses); or

​

•

the rules of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, or FIRPTA, treat the gain as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

​

The FIRPTA rules may apply to a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock if we are at the time of the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition, or were within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition and the non-U.S. holder’s holding period, a “United States real property holding corporation,” or USRPHC. In general, we would be a USRPHC if the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests constituted at least half of the fair market value of our business assets and our U.S. and non-U.S. real property interests. If we are or become a USRPHC, as long as our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market at the time of the disposition, such common stock will be treated as U.S. real property interests subject to the FIRPTA rules only if a non-U.S. holder actually or constructively owns more than 5% of our outstanding common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition and the non-U.S. holder’s holding period. Currently, we believe we are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC, however there can be no assurance in this regard.

If any gain from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock (1) is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by a non-U.S. holder and (2) if required by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the non-U.S. holder’s country of residence, is attributable to a permanent establishment (or, in the case of an individual, a fixed base) maintained by such non-U.S. holder in the United States, then the gain generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions

S-18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and credits. If the non-U.S. holder is a corporation, under certain circumstances, that portion of its earnings and profits that is effectively connected with its U.S. trade or business, subject to certain adjustments, generally would be subject to a “branch profits tax.” The branch profits tax rate is equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items, although an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the non-U.S. holder’s country of residence might provide for a lower rate.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Payments of dividends on our common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the non-U.S. holder certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (and we or our paying agent do not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a U.S. person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied), or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any distributions on our common stock paid to the non-U.S. holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. Copies of these reports may be made available to tax authorities in the country where the non-U.S. holder resides. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the United States generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting. The backup withholding rate is currently 24%.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a holder of our common stock under the backup withholding rules can be credited against any U.S. federal income tax liability of the holder and may entitle the holder to a refund from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA

FATCA imposes U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on certain types of U.S. source “withholdable payments” ​(including dividends and the gross proceeds from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of U.S. stock) to “foreign financial institutions,” which are broadly defined for this purpose, and other non-U.S. entities in connection with the failure to comply with certain certification and information reporting requirements regarding U.S. account holders or owners of such institutions or entities. The obligation to withhold under FATCA applies to any dividends on our common stock. While withholding under FATCA would have applied to gross proceeds from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock and to certain “pass-thru” payments received with respect to instruments held through foreign financial institutions after the date on which applicable final Treasury regulations are issued, proposed Treasury regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely and limit FATCA withholding on these “pass-thru” payments to those payments made two years after the date on which applicable final Treasury regulations are issued. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury regulations until final Treasury regulations are issued. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this paragraph. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our common stock.

The preceding discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax advice. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TWST.”

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering, and a short position represents the amount of such sales that have not been covered by subsequent purchases. A “covered short position” is a short position that is not greater than the amount of additional shares for which the underwriters’ option described above may be exercised. The underwriters may cover any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to cover the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option described above. “Naked” short sales are any short sales that create a short position greater than the amount of additional shares for which the option described above may be exercised. The underwriters must cover any such naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the Representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

We estimate that our share of the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $0.7 million. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain of their expenses in an amount up to $30,000. The underwriters have also agreed to reimburse us for certain of our expenses incurred in connection with this offering.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Switzerland

We have not and will not register with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, or the FINMA, as a foreign collective investment scheme pursuant to Article 119 of the Federal Act on Collective Investment Scheme of 23 June 2006, as amended, or CISA, and accordingly the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus have not and will not be approved, and may not be licenseable, with FINMA.

TABLE OF CONTENTS ​

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

General

The following is a summary of the rights of our common stock and preferred stock and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws as they are currently in effect, which we refer to in this section as our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, respectively. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which have been filed with the SEC.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 210,000,000 shares, of which 200,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares, are designated as preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share. As of March 31, 2026, we had 62,154,412 shares of common stock outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and distribution of the liquidation preferences of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

Stock Exchange Listing

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The trading symbol for our common stock is “TWST.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar

Equiniti Trust Company, LLC is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock. Equiniti Trust Company, LLC’s address is 28 Liberty Street, 53 rd Floor, New York, New York 10005.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to designate and issue up to the total number of authorized shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon each such series of preferred stock, including dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preference and sinking fund terms, any or all of which may be greater than or senior to the rights of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and reduce the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments or payments upon liquidation. Such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock or even the ability to issue preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control or other corporate action.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain certain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions and certain provisions of Delaware law, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate more favorable terms with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us.

9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Undesignated preferred stock

As discussed above, our board of directors has the ability to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.

Limits on ability of stockholders to act by written consent or call a special meeting

Our certificate of incorporation provides that our stockholders may not act by written consent, which may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to amend our bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our bylaws.

In addition, our bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the majority of our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors or the chief executive officer (or president in the absence of a chief executive officer). Stockholders may not call a special meeting, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for holders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.

Requirements for advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals

Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors. These provisions may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

Board classification

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, one class of which is elected each year by our stockholders. The directors in each class serve three-year terms. A third party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us as it is more difficult and time-consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board.

No cumulative voting

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting allows a stockholder to vote a portion or all of its shares for one or more candidates for seats on the board of directors. Without cumulative voting, a minority stockholder may not be able to gain as many seats on our board of directors as the stockholder would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our board of directors to influence our board’s decision regarding a takeover.

Amendment of charter and bylaws provisions

The amendment of the above provisions of our certificate of incorporation requires approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. The amendment of certain provisions of our bylaws also requires approval by the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Delaware anti-takeover statute

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:

10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

prior to the date of the transaction, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

​

•

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, calculated as provided under Section 203; or

​

•

at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

​

Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance. We anticipate that Section 203 may also discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

These provisions of Delaware law and of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they might also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provisions of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, any action or proceeding asserting a claim as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, subject in each case to the Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the parties named as defendants therein. The exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that the U.S. federal district courts are the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Our exclusive forum provision will not relieve us of our duties to comply with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, and our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with these laws, rules and regulations. While the Delaware Supreme Court determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring such a claim arising under the Securities Act against us, our directors, officers or other employees in a venue other than in the U.S. federal district courts. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our certificate of incorporation, and this may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We and any selling securityholder, as applicable, may offer and sell the securities being offered hereby in one or more of the following ways from time to time:

•

to or through underwriters or dealers;

​

•

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

​

•

in the over-the-counter market;

​

•

in transactions other than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

​

•

in “at the market offerings,” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through market makers or into an existing market for the securities;

​

•

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

​

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

​

•

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

​

•

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

​

•

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

​

•

privately negotiated transactions;

​

•

directly to purchasers;

​

•

a combination of any of these methods of sale; and

​

•

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

​

We will describe the method of distribution of the securities in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may also determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction. We will describe how any auction will determine the price or any other terms, how potential investors may participate in the auction and the nature of the obligations of the underwriter, dealer or agent in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, each class or series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than our common stock, which is traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. We may elect to list any other class or series of securities on any exchange, but we are not obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in a class or series of securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to whether an active trading market will develop for the offered securities or the liquidity of the trading market for any of the securities. We have no current plans for listing of the preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or units on any securities exchange or quotation system. Any such listing with respect to any particular preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement or other offering materials, as the case may be.

Underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or our purchasers (as their agents in connection with the sale of the securities). In addition, underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they act as agent. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act. As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale received by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. The prospectus supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent, and describe any compensation received by them from us as well as any other offering expenses. Only underwriters named

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

We may sell the securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments made by the underwriters, dealers or agents, under agreements between us and the underwriters, dealers and agents.

Any person participating in the distribution of common stock registered under the registration statement that includes this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our common stock by any such person. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock. These restrictions may affect the marketability of our common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock.

We may grant underwriters who participate in the distribution of the securities an option to purchase additional securities to cover overallotments, if any, in connection with the distribution. Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the offered securities. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the common stock originally sold by the dealer is purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. If any such activities will occur, they will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
