Company Report

Myriad Genetics Earnings: Improved Pricing Dynamics and Healthy Margins Lead Positive Start to 2024

No-moat Myriad Genetics delivered strong first-quarter results ahead of expectations, with sales up roughly 12% year over year, composed of high-single-digit volume growth and about 2% pricing growth. The stock rose significantly on what we view as investor optimism at the contribution from pricing growth following a period of tough pricing dynamics. Nevertheless, we are holding our $21 fair value estimate steady, as our 2024 estimates remain intact and in line with unchanged guidance, and our longer-term outlook for the firm has not changed. Even with the positive rally, shares remain relatively fairly valued.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Myriad is gaining payer coverage for GeneSight, and its aggressive salesforce expansion plan increases testing volume and sales.

Bears

Myriad’s product portfolio faces limited innovation cycles due to its risk of patent losses. Competitors may enter the market, steal share, and ultimately drive pricing down.
