What are Wall Street analysts saying about Illumina stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Illumina stock:
- 1. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We don’t believe an ultra-premium multiple is now justified for a company looking to grow +6% on the top and bottom lines, which now seem more vulnerable to large misses. What’s more, we lack visibility to 2020 or 2021 growth rates given a wide range of moving parts. We would look to get more constructive if our concerns prove to be transitory, or if ILMN announces the $100 genome at a price point that would meaningfully accelerate its top line and not add further headwinds to its gross, operating or net income margins. ILMN is working hard to drive down the cost of sequencing to be able to usher in the eagerly awaited $100 genome. DTC troubles. On the call, Illumina CEO Francis deSouza indicated he expects a DTC reacceleration “in the coming years,” which to us doesn’t imply a recovery in 2020." (7/30/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Illumina continues to register strong top line growth across the company’s high throughput, mid throughput and low throughput categories. In the last-reported fourth quarter, the company observed strong demand for sequencing and array systems, consumables and services. Meanwhile HiSeq to NovaSeq upgrade cycle is progressing well and NextSeq placements are strong. We are also looking forward to the company's newly-inked Pacific Biosciences deal. In the past year, Illumina has outperformed its industry. However, we note that, Illumina exited the fourth quarter of 2018 on a mixed note with earnings lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate. HiSeq consumables are continuing with their expected decline. Seasonality in DTC functionality continues to dent Illumina’s microarray sales. Funding issues restrict growth. The company is operating in a tough competitive landscape." (4/2/2019)
