Guardant Health reports Q1 EPS (49c), consensus (59c)

Reports Q1 revenue $203.5M, consensus $190M. “We started the year with very strong momentum across our portfolio, fueled by ground-breaking product upgrades and new tests introduced in 2024 which leverage our smart liquid biopsy platform,” said Helmy Eltoukhy, co-founder and co-CEO. “Earlier this week, we were excited to launch our upgraded Guardant360 Tissue, a first-of-its-kind multiomic CGP product with expanded genomic and epigenomic breadth that complements our industry-leading Guardant360 liquid products. We are also very pleased to achieve positive gross margins for both Reveal and Shield in the first quarter due to significant reductions in testing costs.” “We were pleased by the robust traction for Shield during the first quarter and are excited by the positive impact we are having on patient lives,” said AmirAli Talasaz, co-founder and co-CEO. “We meaningfully raised our full year screening revenue guidance given our increased expectations for both salesforce productivity and ASP now that Shield has received ADLT status. In addition, we were excited to share strong data for Shield multi-cancer in partnership with the National Cancer Institute, which we believe establishes Guardant as a leader in the field of multi-cancer detection.”
