Company Report

Exact Sciences Has an Established Colon Cancer Screening Franchise With Progressing Pipeline

Exact Sciences has a multipronged approach to cancer testing. Current products are Cologuard, its flagship stool-based screening test for colorectal cancer, or CRC, and Oncotype DX, its tissue-based genomic profiling platform with widespread use in breast cancer. It has a promising pipeline in the nascent liquid biopsy market, including a tissue-informed molecular residual disease, or MRD, test, a blood-based CRC screening test, and a multicancer early detection, or MCED, test.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Cologuard’s staying power remains underappreciated, as its superior detection of precancerous lesions compared with liquid biopsies is likely to be viewed favorably by physicians.

Bears

Exact is still at least a couple of years away from profitability, which depends on the speed of Cologuard's sales ramp and the company's ability to realize economies of scale.
