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, "Over the past year, Exact Science has been outperforming its industry. The company has demonstrated strength across its entire business, driven by impressive performances with its Cologuard business. It is also progressing well in terms of its three priorities in 2019. We are currently looking forward to Exact Science’s recently-closed merger with advanced molecular diagnostics company Genomic Health. The company exhibited an impressive performance with better-than-expected earnings results in the third quarter of 2019. On the flip side, escalating expenses are putting pressure on operating margin. Sole reliance on Cologuard and competitive headwinds persist as major downsides." (1/21/2020) 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) Has EXACT Sciences been receiving favorable news coverage?
