Fair value Decreased 22%

The notable downward revision in NeoGenomics’ analyst price target reflects reduced revenue growth forecasts and a lower forward P/E, resulting in a new fair value estimate of $8.72.


What's in the News


  • Launched NEO PanTracer LBx, a blood-based comprehensive genomic profiling test for noninvasive therapy selection and monitoring, expanding presence in the $3-5 billion liquid biopsy market.
  • Lowered 2025 guidance, expecting revenue of $720–$726 million (prior $747–$759 million) and a net loss of $116–$108 million (prior $85–$77 million).
  • Introduced PanTracer Tissue and PanTracer Tissue + HRD, next-generation solid tumor profiling assays, enabling faster results and enhanced tumor profiling, revealed at ASCO.
  • Unveiled PanTracer Family portfolio and Paletrra, an AI-driven spatial proteomics platform, at ASCO, reinforcing NeoGenomics’ role in precision oncology and translational research.
  • Commercially launched c-MET CDx for NSCLC, a rapid companion diagnostic assay supporting timely treatment selection for MET-targeted therapies.

Valuation Changes


Summary of Valuation Changes for NeoGenomics

  • Investments in digital capabilities and strategic partnerships drive operational efficiency, support higher margins, and set up sustained earnings momentum.
  • Revenue and margin growth are threatened by declining nonclinical sales, fierce competition, product delays, litigation, and high fixed costs amid shifting industry dynamics.

Catalysts

About NeoGenomics
    Operates a network of cancer-focused testing laboratories in the United States and the United Kingdom.
What are the underlying business or industry changes driving this perspective?
  • The commercial launch of PanTracer, a comprehensive liquid biopsy panel for therapy selection, is set to enhance NeoGenomics' competitiveness and capture greater share in the rapidly growing NGS and liquid biopsy segment, supporting revenue acceleration and higher average unit prices (AUP) through 2025 and beyond.
  • Ongoing demographic shifts, including an aging population and higher cancer incidence, continue to expand the overall addressable market for NeoGenomics' oncology diagnostics, translating into sustained test volume growth and providing a visible multi-year tailwind for top-line revenue.
  • Increased focus on personalized medicine and targeted therapies is driving demand for advanced genomic and MRD testing; NeoGenomics' recent product launches and strategic partnerships position it to benefit from these structural healthcare changes, directly supporting both revenue and higher-margin service opportunities.
  • Investments in new digital pathology capabilities, automation, and the integration of a unified LIMS are expected to generate material operating efficiencies and enable greater operating leverage, supporting future expansion in EBITDA margins and earnings growth.
  • Successfully renegotiated managed care agreements and ongoing reimbursement initiatives are improving revenue predictability and mix, with test menu expansion (including new NGS and MRD offerings) enhancing revenue per patient and laying the foundation for long-term, above-market earnings growth.

Assumptions

How have these above catalysts been quantified?
  • Analysts are assuming NeoGenomics's revenue will grow by 9.0% annually over the next 3 years.
  • Analysts are not forecasting that NeoGenomics will become profitable in next 3 years. To represent the Analyst Price Target as a Future PE Valuation we will estimate NeoGenomics's profit margin will increase from -15.1% to the average US Healthcare industry of 5.4% in 3 years.
  • If NeoGenomics's profit margin were to converge on the industry average, you could expect earnings to reach $48.0 million (and earnings per share of $0.36) by about August 2028, up from $-104.0 million today.
  • In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 28.8x on those 2028 earnings, up from -7.2x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Healthcare industry at 20.0x.
  • Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 0.8% per year for the next 3 years.
  • To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 6.79%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Risks

What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?
  • Persistent weakness and unpredictability in the pharma and biotech customer segment-exacerbated by funding uncertainty, drug pricing pressures, and delayed/cancelled clinical trials-creates revenue volatility and raises long-term concerns about the resilience of nonclinical revenues, which are already in double-digit decline and difficult to forecast beyond a single quarter. This directly threatens total revenue growth and future earnings consistency.
  • Increasing market competition in oncology diagnostics and NGS, including new and well-funded entrants, threatens NeoGenomics' ability to retain or expand market share, especially as rivals broaden portfolios and lower technological barriers-posing risks not only to revenue growth but also to net margins as pricing pressure intensifies.
  • Ongoing portfolio and product mix risk-delays in new product launches (such as PanTracer liquid biopsy), underperformance or product concentration in a handful of NGS offerings, and reliance on successful ramp-up and reimbursement-increase uncertainty in both clinical revenue streams and the company's ability to achieve targeted earnings and higher-margin growth.
  • Legal and intellectual property risks, such as unresolved litigation around the RaDaR MRD platform and ongoing need to update product portfolios, expose NeoGenomics to unpredictable costs, potential revenue loss from discontinued products, and disruption to the execution of its long-term innovation strategy, all of which can adversely affect net margins.
  • The company's heavy investment in IT, laboratories, and digital infrastructure, coupled with a high fixed cost base, could compress net margins or lead to losses if revenue growth or test volumes underperform regional or industry expectations, especially as industry trends shift toward decentralized or point-of-care testing models that may erode NeoGenomics' centralized lab advantage.

Valuation

How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?
  • The analysts have a consensus price target of $8.611 for NeoGenomics based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $12.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $6.5.
  • In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $893.1 million, earnings will come to $48.0 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 28.8x, assuming you use a discount rate of 6.8%.
  • Given the current share price of $5.76, the analyst price target of $8.61 is 33.1% higher.
  • We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
