Spark’s Take on ILMN Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ILMN is a Neutral.
ILMN scores well on recovering fundamentals and a strong technical uptrend, supported by an earnings call with upside execution and raised outlook driven by clinical/NovaSeq X momentum. The score is held back by weaker cash-flow trends, higher leverage risk, and a relatively expensive valuation, with some added execution uncertainty from recent leadership shifts.
