Qiagen N.V. (NYSE:QGEN) is looking for M&A. Chief Executive Officer, Thierry Bernard said, " It's a nice way of doing capital allocation, but it doesn't create growth over the long run. So therefore, to create growth over the long run, I prefer 2 priorities: organic R&D, but smart one, focused on, again, the pillars of growth. And second, it's smart M&A. M&A, not for the sake of M&A, M&A that is strategically not spreading QIAGEN thin again, but still continuing that basically focused where we can take profitable leadership.

I insist on profitable leadership. And so we have a long history of bolt-on. This will remain the strategy for M&A bolt-on, but at the same time, it's clear that we have the balance sheet that could allow us to look at bigger acquisition as well.

There is no dogma here".
