Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.

Personalized medicine, which involves tailoring treatment to a patient&#8217;s unique disease profile, is widely regarded as the holy grail of medicine. However, the current implementation of this approach faces significant hurdles.
Bank of America Securities (BofA) highlights that the precision medicine approach is currently <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" rel="noreferrer noopener">cost, labor, and time-intensive</a>.
Analysts Alec Stranahan and Michael Ryskin specifically point out that the substantial amount of manual work involved in processing complex biological data and making treatment decisions leads to considerable delays.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/initiation/25/06/45820489/goldman-sachs-bullish-on-branded-drug-upside-at-teva-what-about-viatris" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goldman Sachs Bullish On Branded Drug Upside At Teva: What About Viatris?</a>
Beyond the practical challenges, precision medicine also grapples with data validation issues. Given the infinitely complex nature of biology and the huge number of interactions between biological systems, researchers often run into issues with validating the impact of genes/pathways associated with disease progression/response to treatment.
Despite these inherent challenges, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is widely recognized as a pivotal enabler for advancing precision medicine.
Consequently, a number of companies are actively leveraging these technologies to innovate within the precision medicine landscape, striving to make tailored treatments more accessible, efficient, and effective.
These companies include Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), Guardant Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GH#NASDAQ">GH</a>), Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NASDAQ">EXAS</a>), NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEO#NASDAQ">NEO</a>), Quest Diagnostics, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGX#NYSE">DGX</a>), and LabCorp Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LH#NYSE">LH</a>), each employing AI in unique ways to enhance diagnostics, therapy selection, and overall patient care across the care continuum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tempus AI</h2>
BofA analyst says Tempus AI perfectly fits the theme of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/movers-shakers/25/06/45726456/tempus-ai-stock-is-surging-today-what-investors-are-watching" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI in precision medicine</a>.
Like most MDx companies, Tempus AI has built its business off an industry-leading database of clinico-genomic data. Tempus leverages this data by training AI/ML algorithms to parse through the data and detect patterns and anomalies.&nbsp;&nbsp;
BofA reiterates a Neutral rating for Tempus AI, given its already premium valuation. The analyst remains constructive on the business and key markets. However, due to peer group expansion, BofA raised its price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TEM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast from $68 to $70</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Guardant Health</h2>
Guardant Health was an early mover in the liquid biopsy cancer testing/therapy selection market with their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45756387/why-is-cancer-diagnostic-guardant-health-stock-trading-higher-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Guardant 360 (G360) test</a>.
Guardant Health has a clear goal to build upon its G360 test (therapy selection) and expand across the care continuum, thus allowing it to participate in a patient&#8217;s receiving precision medicine at all stages post-cancer diagnosis.
Guardant Health has its business built on the algorithms that it runs.
BofA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Buy rating</a> on Guardant Health, given its leading position, strong growth profile, and upcoming catalyst path for new products.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Exact Sciences</h2>
BofA analysts say Exact Sciences Corp. has expanded to offer services <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45165534/cancer-diagnostic-firm-exact-sciences-ceo-says-strong-q1-paves-way-for-transformative-2025-lifts-annual-guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">across the care continuum</a>.
While Exact Sciences started screening for colorectal cancer specifically, their focus has been steered towards all indications and across the treatment paradigm.
Exact Sciences&#8217; legacy Cologuard test / early detection doesn&#8217;t necessarily &#8220;fit&#8221; the precision medicine theme; however, everything Exact has done since is &#8220;precision medicine / AI-aligned,&#8221; BofA added in its investor note on Wednesday.
Given its strong financial profile and near-term catalyst path, the analyst maintains a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EXAS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy rating on Exact Sciences</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NeoGenomics</h2>
NeoGenomics has been known as a traditional reference lab offering many hotspot tests. However, by adding the PanTracer testing family and data services offering, NeoGenomics leverages the numerous hotspot data points and can build those into a more robust AI algorithm to inform the more modern therapy selection tests.
The dataset/algorithm and 500+ tests create a flywheel where the tests that are sold generate information. The information informs the algorithm, eventually leading to more accurate algorithms, which help market the tests… bring you back to more tests.
BofA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NEO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Neutral rating</a> on NeoGenomics given near-term headwinds and more limited upside versus its prior trajectory.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quest Diagnostics</h2>
Quest Diagnostics is showing trends toward AI in precision medicine with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44929366/quest-diagnostics-revenue-rebound-strategic-moves-fuel-outlook-confidence" rel="noreferrer noopener">Haystack and PathAI Quest</a>.
While not traditionally considered a &#8220;leader&#8221; in AI/precision medicine, Quest Diagnostics has shown progress toward becoming a company to watch.
At DGX&#8217;s 2025 Investor Day, management discussed innovations in lab diagnostics, including the adoption of AI and automation. Given Quest Diagnostics&#8217; strong, steady performance and lower exposure to macro/policy overhangs, the analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DGX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Buy rating</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">LabCorp</h2>
LabCorp Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LH#NYSE">LH</a>) aims to be a notable player in AI precision medicine. Although LabCorp is known as a traditional reference lab, with trends toward AI and precision medicine, LH has shown signs of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43539754/labcorp-reports-q4-earnings-beat-and-expects-strong-2025-growth-analyst-reiterates-outperform-on-stable-2025-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">jumping on the bandwagon</a>.
While LabCorp already offers NGS tests, there appears to be a clear trend and focus towards advancing its AI/precision medicine portfolio.
BofA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Buy rating</a> on LabCorp, given strong and steady performance and lower exposure to macro/policy overhangs.

Trupanion Posts Better-Than-Expected Results, Joins Duolingo, DexCom, Exact Sciences And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Friday

Exact Sciences Corp.(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NYSE">EXAS</a>) on Thursday reported a first-quarter 2025 EPS loss of 21 cents, down from a 37-cent loss a year ago, beating the analyst&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus loss estimate of 38 cents.</a>
The company reported quarterly sales of $706.78 million, up 11% year over year on a reported and core revenue basis, beating the consensus&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45149849/exact-sciences-announces-first-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimate of $688.64 million</a>.
Screening revenue was $540 million, an increase of 14%, and Precision Oncology's revenue was $166.8 million, an increase of 2%&nbsp;or 4% on a core revenue basis.
"Our strong first quarter results pave the way for 2025 to mark our most transformative year yet," said Kevin Conroy, chairman and CEO. &#8220;With growing momentum in our commercial organization and improved profitability, we raised our full-year outlook and continue to build a foundation for sustained long-term growth."
Guidance: Exact Sciences raised its fiscal 2025 sales guidance from $3.02 billion-3.08 billion to $3.07 billion-3.12 billion versus the consensus of $3.06 billion.
The guidance includes a screening sales forecast of $2.39 billion—$2.43 billion, compared to previous guidance of $2.35 billion—$2.39 billion.
Precision Oncology sales are expected to be $680 million—$695 million, compared to prior guidance of $675 million—$695 million.
The company expects 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $425 million—$455 million, up from previous guidance of $410 million—$440 million.
&#8220;Simply put, this was a solid first quarter out of the gate and we believe Exact is well positioned to continue to show modest upside throughout the year. This upside, coupled with pipeline catalysts like blood-based CRC screening test data later this summer, keep us positive on the long-term prospects,&#8221; William Blair writes.
Analyst Andrew F. Brackmann added, &#8220;In sum, this was a positive update and helped build support for a bullish thesis that can drive the stock higher over the course of the year. Shares trade at a very compelling forward revenue multiple of 3.5 times, leaving ample room for multiple expansion.&#8221;
William Blair reiterated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EXAS/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Outperform rating</a>.
Price Action: At the last check on Friday, EXAS stock was up 11.3% at $52.50 during the premarket session.
