Cancer Genetics (CGIX) Receives a Hold from Maxim Group


In a report released today, Jason McCarthy from Maxim Group maintained a Hold rating on Cancer Genetics (NASDAQ: CGIX). The company’s shares opened today at $0.94, close to its 52-week low of $0.82.

McCarthy wrote:

“Cancer Genetics reported revenue of $7.0M, down sequentially (8%) and a net loss of $3.6M. CGIX ended the period with $1.6M in cash, excluding $2.5M raised in July. We expect the company to raise more capital to continue its restructuring efforts. Key takeaway: While revenue is down, management is continuing to make progress implementing the restructuring strategy that we believe over time should position CGIX to streamline its cancer testing, biopharma and discovery business and return the company to growth. As such, 2018 should be viewed as a transition year for CGIX. We maintain a Hold rating.”

According to TipRanks.com, McCarthy is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 11.6% and a 42.8% success rate. McCarthy covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as SELLAS Life Sciences Group Inc, ContraVir Pharmaceuticals Inc, and Sonoma Pharmaceuticals Inc.
