Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Illumina stock:

• 1. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "Shipments to China grew +16% and we believe China is likely to be a double-digit grower for ILMN over the next several years, driven by the Chinese Precision Medicine Initiative," (8/7/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Illumina exited the second quarter on a solid note, with both earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top line was strong on new product launches including the VeriSeq NIPT Solution in Europe and the strength in NovaSeq. Outside the U.S., the rate of NIPT adoption is increasing. In this regard to note, over the last three months, Illumina was trading above the broader industry. The company’s raised guidance is encouraging indicating this bullish trend to continue in the coming period. We are currently looking forward to the performance of the Extended RAS Panel that is slated for launch in the third quarter. We are also looking forward to GRAIL, Illumina’s venture in the cancer screening market. On the flip side, weak margins owing to NovaSeq launch, higher array services revenues and product mix within sequencing consumables will continue to act as deterrents. Also, NIH funding issue and a tough competitive landscap" (8/4/2017)
