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 view Q1 as mixed, but we reiterate our BUY rating since less than 0.02% of humans have ever been sequenced and clinical sequencing is growing rapidly off an extremely low base. We narrowly trim our revenue estimates and lower our PT to $350." (4/26/2019)
- 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)
