May 14, 2008 8:52 AM EDT

Susquehanna Financial initiates coverage on Meridian Bioscience Inc. (NASDAQ: VIVO) with a Neutral rating. The firm believes upside will be limited in the next year due to pressure on gross margins. After its 9.3% decline in 2QFY08, analysts would also like to see a new sales baseline established for the Life Sciences segment. The firm will become positive on VIVO when they see evidence the recent trend in VIVO’s gross margins is temporary.

Meridian Bioscience, Inc., a life science company, engages in the development, manufacture, sale, and distribution of diagnostic test kits primarily for respiratory, gastrointestinal, viral, and parasitic infectious diseases.
