Anthony Petrone, an analyst from Mizuho Securities, has initiated a new Buy rating on Guardant Health (GH).
Anthony Petrone has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Guardant Health’s strong market position and growth potential. The company is a leader in precision oncology, utilizing its innovative liquid biopsy platform to enhance cancer treatment and monitoring. This approach is seen as a significant differentiator from traditional tissue-based methods, providing Guardant Health with a competitive edge in a market that is only partially penetrated.
Moreover, Guardant Health is poised to capitalize on a substantial total addressable market in precision oncology, particularly in colorectal, breast, and lung cancer indications, which collectively represent a $20 billion opportunity. The company’s recent product launches, such as the Shield for blood-based colorectal cancer screening, are expected to drive profitability and cash flow improvements. Additionally, the anticipated profitability inflection by the second half of 2025, driven by strategic wins and cost efficiencies, further supports the positive outlook on Guardant Health’s stock.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 148 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of GH in relation to earlier this year.
