Trinity Biotech plc (NASDAQ:TRIB) stock surged Tuesday after the diagnostics company announced a pair of developments that significantly altered its near- and long-term outlook.
Investors reacted positively to a massive HIV testing order alongside newly announced balance-sheet restructuring efforts, viewing the combination as a signal of stabilizing demand and improving financial footing.
The updates, a nine-million-unit product commitment and new financing agreements, suggest stronger revenue visibility while providing the company with added flexibility to execute its turnaround strategy.

Large HIV Order Signals Demand Recovery
Trinity Biotech will deliver nine million units of its TrinScreen rapid HIV test between late 2025 and early 2026, relying on a WHO-approved outsourced manufacturing process.
The order indicates renewed procurement activity from global health organizations following earlier disruptions caused by shifts in international aid funding.
Recent quarterly results demonstrate accelerating momentum, with sequential revenue growth driven by increased sales of HIV rapid tests and higher demand for hemoglobin products.
Margin expansion helped push adjusted EBITDA into positive territory, marking a meaningful reversal from prior quarters and reinforcing confidence in the company’s restructuring efforts.
Capital Restructuring Supports Growth
In addition to these operational improvements, Trinity Biotech announced agreements aimed at strengthening its capital structure.
The financing package includes additional term loan funding and greater flexibility to settle certain obligations through equity, reducing near-term cash strain and extending debt maturities into 2027.
The company is focused on near-term, profitable growth supported by a lean operating model. Key initiatives include expanding internationally with an enhanced HbA1c diabetes test and broader rollout of TrinScreen HIV tests.
At the same time, it is advancing several strategic products toward commercialization, including its next-generation CGM+, the EpiCapture prostate cancer risk monitoring test, and PrePsia, an early pregnancy screening tool for assessing preeclampsia risk.
On the leadership front, Paul Murphy has stepped into the role of interim chief financial officer following the completion of Susan O’Connor’s interim term.
TRIB Price Action: Trinity Biotech shares were up 69.28% at $1.51 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
