Bio-Rad LSI - Feeling the budget crunch?

Is it just me or are budgets getting *really* tight in Bio-Rad's Life Science division lately? Had a few planned projects get pushed back with vague 'resource allocation' reasons. My manager is also being unusually quiet about Q3/Q4 planning, which is not like them. It feels like the purse strings are being pulled a lot tighter than usual. I know the market's been a bit unpredictable for biotech, but this feels more specific. Wondering if this is leading up to anything more significant down the line, or if it's just a temporary belt-tightening exercise. Anyone else experiencing similar budget headwinds or hiring freezes? Trying to see if it's just my team or a broader trend across LSI.

Yeah, I've been noticing something similar in LSI. We had a big equipment upgrade we were anticipating get put on indefinite hold last month, and the explanation was pretty much a non-answer about shifting priorities. It's definitely creating a bit of uncertainty and making it harder to plan long-term work. Definitely feeling that pressure, it's not just you.
