Yuko Oku has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors impacting Veracyte’s future performance. While the company has shown strong momentum with its Decipher and Afirma products, and has resolved restructuring issues related to Veracyte SAS, the anticipated benefits from these developments are not expected to materialize until 2027 or later. The competitive landscape in the MRD market and the delayed reimbursement for the Nasal Swab test further contribute to the uncertainty surrounding Veracyte’s near-term growth prospects.
Additionally, although Veracyte’s base business is performing well with solid margins and a strong balance sheet, these positive aspects are already reflected in the current stock price. The discounted cash flow analysis suggests a price target of $28, which indicates limited potential for significant outperformance compared to its peers. Therefore, despite the promising pipeline, the current valuation and market conditions lead to a cautious outlook, justifying the Sell rating.
