Yuko Oku has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Seer’s current market position. The company’s first-quarter results surpassed expectations, primarily driven by a significant increase in product revenue, which rose by 73% year-over-year. This growth was achieved despite ongoing challenges such as pressure on capital expenditure budgets and extended sales cycles for new instrument purchases.
However, Yuko Oku remains cautious due to uncertainties surrounding government funding and U.S. tariff policies, which affect the company’s visibility in the market. While the service revenue also showed impressive growth, the reiterated guidance for 2025 reflects a conservative outlook in light of these uncertainties. The analyst believes that key opinion leader publications and macroeconomic recovery are crucial for Seer’s future performance, justifying the Hold rating.
