BTIG Believes NeoGenomics (NEO) Won’t Stop Here


In a report released today, Sean Lavin from BTIG maintained a Buy rating on NeoGenomics (NASDAQ: NEO), with a price target of $15. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $13.47, close to its 52-week high of $13.61.

Lavin noted:

“Raising Our PT Earlier this week, we hosted investor meetings with Chairman and CEO Bill Bonello. The general tone was upbeat with majority of the discussions focused on the oncology market opportunity, competitive landscape given recent M&A and use of cash. We felt the overarching theme was the breadth of NEO’s testing capabilities being a competitive differentiator particularly on the clinical trial side. The recently announced agreement with PPD (Private) to be the chief oncology provider would be upside to our current estimates. We are increasing our target EV/sales multiple and PT to $15 (from $11) on increased confidence in Pharma Services, and continued market share capture of clinical testing. Additionally, as NEO moves upstream into higher-end testing, we feel its multiple should more closely match those of specialty cancer testing peers.”
