Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Myriad Genetics stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Myriad Genetics ended fiscal 2017 on a solid note, with its fourth-quarter numbers exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company particularly observed strong growth in EndoPredict and GeneSight testing revenues. Also, the company witnessed a third consecutive quarter of rise in hereditary cancer volumes. We are also upbeat about the receipt of positive final Local Coverage Determination to expand Medicare coverage of the Prolaris test. Also, it received provincial reimbursement in Quebec for EndoPredict. Recently, the company presented positive data for its BRACAnalysis CDx test. Over the last three months, the company has been trading above the broader industry.  On the flip side, a dull operating margin scenario owing to a rise in operating expenses is disappointing. Currency fluctuations and stiff competition are other major headwinds for the company." (8/11/2017)
• 2. Cowen and Company analysts commented, "The FDA approved Tesaro's niraprarib (Zejula) yesterday. This approval was not limited to mutational status, and therefore does not require MYGN's myChoice HRD test. This outcome is consistent with our thoughts since last June, and as a result has limited impact to our MYGN financial forecast." (3/28/2017)
