What are Wall Street analysts saying about GenMark Diagnostics stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about GenMark Diagnostics stock:
- 1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "On 4/19/18, bioMerieux announced its 1Q18 results, which included 47% FilmArray growth fueled partly by the severe flu season. bioMerieux’s BioFire FilmArray is the market-leading syndromic panel molecular testing system. We estimate that bioMerieux ended 1Q18 with a FilmArray installed base of ~6,750. We believe that bioMerieux’s strong FilmArray growth indicates that the syndromic panel testing market remains significantly under-penetrated and we have increased confidence that GNMK can exceed the 1Q18 revenue consensus when it reports on 5/1/18." (4/24/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "GenMark Diagnostics, Inc. is a molecular diagnostics company focused on developing and commercializing its proprietary eSensor(R) detection technology.

GenMark Diagnostics, Inc. is based in Pasadena, California. " (1/25/2018)
- 3. BTIG Research analysts commented, "The fact that ACOR announced this morning that it will discontinue the tozadenant program (stopping dosing in all currently enrolled studies) came as little surprise following last week’s disclosure of safety issues (our thoughts here). Timing was the only marginal surprise, but based on additional analyses, the company determined that the recently instituted weekly white blood cell count screening may not be adequate to fully ensure the safety of patients. Though this morning’s headline has little incremental impact, it does highlight the added pressure on Inbrija (which is delayed itself following the RTF earlier this year) and formally removes the potential for near- term leverage in the business. Maintain Neutral." (11/20/2017)
