What are Wall Street analysts saying about EXACT Sciences stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about EXACT Sciences stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "EXACT Sciences Corporation uses applied genomics to develop effective, patient-friendly screening technologies for use in the detection of cancer. Certain of its technologies have been licensed to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings for a stool-based DNA screening assay for colorectal cancer in the average-risk population. Colorectal cancer, which is the most deadly cancer among non-smokers, is generally curable if detected early. Despite the availability of colorectal cancer screening and diagnostic tests for more than twenty years, the rate of early detection of colorectal cancer remains low, and deaths from colorectal cancer remain high. EXACT Sciences believes its genomics-based technologies would help to enable detection of colorectal cancer so that more people can be effectively treated. " (10/17/2019)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We are buyers of EXAS following the unusual 10% weakness in shares today, which we believe were part of the overall selloff today in diagnostics (and software stocks), where much of the alpha in the overall stock market has come from; and what we believe is likely certain funds pressuring EXAS following a cost effectiveness study published last week, but got a lot more attention today on the Street. We believe this is a buy-on- weakness opportunity on shares of EXAS given a handful of deep flaws used in the study." (9/10/2019)
