Myriad has purchased a new UG 100 that will soon join other leading sequencing platforms in its new Lab of the Future facility in South San Francisco. &nbsp;
The low-cost and low-error sequencing achievable on the UG 100 may benefit several of Myriad's emerging products that require large amounts of high-fidelity sequencing data. The Myriad Precise Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) test performs whole-genome sequencing on two samples from cancer patients—one from a tumor and one from normal tissue—to comprehensively identify tumor-specific variants for subsequent tracking in a personalized panel. With Ultima's support, Myriad will explore the potential for the Precise MRD test to improve in both performance and cost with ppmSeq on the UG 100. In the reproductive-health space, Myriad is expected to launch its FirstGene Multiple Prenatal Screen, which will run the content of multiple prenatal screens via a single sequencing workflow. FirstGene also requires deep and accurate sequencing that the UG 100 platform may be well suited to affordably provide.

Alcon (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/alc#NYSE">ALC</a>) has been gaining from a strong pipeline and its focus on research and innovation. Market share gains also aid growth. The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
In Presbyopia-correcting Intraocular Lens (PCIOLs), Alcon currently leads the market with more than 60% share globally and over 80% share in the United States. In Surgical, the company maintains a strong market share in PCIOLs, driven by strong demand for products like PanOptix and Vivity despite new market entrants. Vivity&#39;s non-diffractive properties, ease of use and consistency of surgical outcomes make it particularly appealing.
Within Surgical, Alcon commercially launched SMARTCataract in the United States. This is expected to broaden the scope of the company in the growing surgical ophthalmology space. The company currently sees meaningful share gains driven by its new toric product launches, including Precision1, Total30 and Dailies Total1.
The company will offer a cataract-only system called UNITY CS, which will be available in 2026. Importantly, UNITY brings with it new and innovative consumables that drive incremental benefits for the surgeon. The launch of these instruments will help the company secure the next decade of the company&#39;s consumables business, which is a large, recurring and profitable revenue stream.
In ocular health, the company is also expanding business with the integration of Rocklatan and Rhopressa and concluded Phase 3 trials for AR-15512, the dry-eye pharmaceutical candidate. In addition, the company is witnessing growth in its over-the-counter portfolio, mainly driven by favorable pricing and a sustained family of products. The company looks forward to the growing demand for its multi-dose preservative-free formulations, which are helping expand the U.S. preservative-free category.
Alcon&#39;s Surgical business continues to gain from a diverse portfolio and incremental innovation. In terms of the latest developments within Implantables, Alcon&#39;s technology continues to lead the market. Globally, one out of every three IOLs implanted is done with an Alcon lens. In premium lenses, the statistic is even more impressive, with one out of two ATIOLs being an Alcon product. The company&#39;s flagship lenses, Vivity and PanOptix, continue to lead the category in the United States and around the world. Additionally, it continues to expand in areas where it has significant opportunities to grow share, such as China.

<h3>Alcon Price</h3>

Alcon price | Alcon Quote
Within the Surgical franchise, revenues were up 6% year over year in the first quarter, mainly driven by advanced technology intraocular lenses, including Vivity, PanOptix and monofocal torics in international markets.
</div>
Within Vision Care, Alcon is registering solid growth, banking on strong sales of its contact lenses and ocular health products. In contact lenses, the company is successfully executing its strategy of investing in fast-growing market segments where it has significant share opportunities. As a result, Alcon is outpacing market growth in every category where it has launched new products.
In contact lenses, Alcon with its strategic investments, has secured its position as one of the fastest-growing companies. It is witnessing strong interest in its specialty lenses, including multifocal and toric.
On the flip side, Alcon is experiencing inflationary pressure in electronic components, freight, labor, resins and plastics, impacting the company&#39;s margins. The company is also encountering supply chain challenges in certain components, including microchips, resins and plastics, metals and filters. The company expects these inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges to continue in 2024. The cost of net sales in the first quarter was up 2.9% year over year. Our model estimates a 5.4% increase in the metric for full-year 2024.
Meanwhile, the ophthalmology industry is highly competitive. In the surgical business, Alcon competes with large manufacturers with multiple business lines as well as small manufacturers that offer a limited selection of specialized products. The company also&nbsp;faces competition&nbsp;from&nbsp;providers&nbsp;of&nbsp;alternative&nbsp;medical&nbsp;therapies,&nbsp;such&nbsp;as&nbsp;pharmaceutical&nbsp;companies that have&nbsp; the potential to disrupt core elements of its business.
In vision care business, the market for contact lenses is intensely competitive and is characterized by declining sales volumes for older and reusable product lines and growing demand for daily lenses and advanced materials lenses. Increased product entries from contact lens manufacturers in Asia also pose a massive threat.

Alcon's Market Share Gains, New Launches Aid Growth

Quest Diagnostics Inc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dgx#NYSE">DGX</a>) sustained growth momentum within the legacy base business is poised to help it grow in the upcoming quarters. Strong progress in the company&#39;s highly specialized Advanced Diagnostics offerings is encouraging. Additionally, the cost discipline program, Invigorate, is boosting productivity through automation and AI. However, a debt-laden balance sheet and challenges from fierce competition are concerning for DGX&#39;s operations.
In the past year, this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock has rallied 11.3% compared with the industry&#39;s 13.6% growth and the 19.3% rise of the S&amp;P 500 composite.
The renowned provider of diagnostic information services has a market capitalization of $16.62 billion. The company&#39;s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 3.31%.
Let&#39;s delve deeper.
<h3>Tailwinds</h3>
Growth Momentum in the Base Business Continues: Quest Diagnostics has been experiencing robust volume growth in its core business (excluding Covid Testing), banking on the growth of new physician and hospital customers, a more favorable test mix with increased use of advanced diagnostics, continued strength in healthcare utilization as well as the ongoing return to care. The latest second quarter of 2024 also marked another strong base business growth for Physician Lab Services, driven by overall market growth and share gains on new customer wins.
Added to this, the company delivered strong volume and revenue growth from its Medicare Advantage plans. PLS and hospital reference testing have been outpacing both historical trends and market growth projections. Additionally, DGX is making headway with several promising opportunities within its robust M&amp;A pipeline, such as the recently closed acquisition of PathAI Diagnostics. Further, Quest Diagnostics&#39; strong consumer focus is driving growth in consumer-initiated testing and expanded access to basic health care.

Strong Potential of Advanced Diagnostics:&nbsp;Quest Diagnostics&#39; Advanced Diagnostics offerings have generated robust growth in recent quarters. A key driver in Brain Health growth is the company&#39;s Alzheimer&#39;s disease portfolio, featuring the AD-Detect blood testing services and the CSF Tests for diagnosing and monitoring. The acquisition of the cancer testing company, Haystack Oncology, has strategically placed DGX in the higher-growth clinical area of ctDNA (Circulating tumor DNA) solid-tumor MRD (minimal residual disease) testing.
Alongside this, the company has been expanding the pool of evidence on the clinical and economic value of ctDNA blood testing in cancer care. Furthermore, Quest Diagnostics&#39; STEP500 somatic tumor sequencing service is gaining interest from large cancer centers.
A Strategic Imperative to Drive Operational Excellence:&nbsp;As part of its broader strategy to drive operational improvements across the business, Quest Diagnostics strategically deploys automation and AI to improve quality, service, efficiency and the workforce experience. The company&#39;s multi-year cost excellence program, Invigorate, has consistently delivered 3% annual cost savings and productivity enhancements, acting as a shield against inflationary pressures such as rising labor and benefit costs and reimbursement challenges. In the second quarter, it enhanced the use of automation and AI to improve productivity, as well as service levels and quality.
<h3>Headwinds</h3>
Escalating Debt Level: At the end of the second quarter of 2024, the company had long-term debt of $3.82 billion on the balance sheet, while the cash and cash equivalent balance was only $271 million. The current portion of the debt stood much higher at $606 million, raising concerns about its liquidity position.
Competitive Landscape: Quest Diagnostics faces intense competition, primarily from LabCorp, other commercial laboratories and hospitals. While pricing is an important factor in choosing a testing lab, hospital-affiliated physicians expect a high level of service, including an accurate and rapid turnaround of testing results. As a result, Quest Diagnostics and other commercial labs compete mainly on the quality of service.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Estimate Trend</h3>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Quest Diagnostics&#39; 2024 earnings per share has moved up to $8.88 from $8.79 in the past 30 days.
The consensus estimate for the company&#39;s 2024 revenues is pegged at $9.52 billion. This suggests a 2.9% rise from the year-ago reported number.
<h3>Other Key Picks</h3>
Some other top-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are TransMedix Group (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tmdx#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>), Boston Scientific (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bsx#NYSE">BSX</a>) and Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mygn#NASDAQ">MYGN</a>).
TransMedix Group&#39;s earnings are expected to surge 242.9% in 2024. The company&#39;s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 287.5%.
