$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Personalized medicine, which involves tailoring treatment to a patient&#8217;s unique disease profile, is widely regarded as the holy grail of medicine. However, the current implementation of this approach faces significant hurdles.
Bank of America Securities (BofA) highlights that the precision medicine approach is currently <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" rel="noreferrer noopener">cost, labor, and time-intensive</a>.
Analysts Alec Stranahan and Michael Ryskin specifically point out that the substantial amount of manual work involved in processing complex biological data and making treatment decisions leads to considerable delays.

Beyond the practical challenges, precision medicine also grapples with data validation issues. Given the infinitely complex nature of biology and the huge number of interactions between biological systems, researchers often run into issues with validating the impact of genes/pathways associated with disease progression/response to treatment.
Despite these inherent challenges, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is widely recognized as a pivotal enabler for advancing precision medicine.
Consequently, a number of companies are actively leveraging these technologies to innovate within the precision medicine landscape, striving to make tailored treatments more accessible, efficient, and effective.
These companies include Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), Guardant Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GH#NASDAQ">GH</a>), Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NASDAQ">EXAS</a>), NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEO#NASDAQ">NEO</a>), Quest Diagnostics, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGX#NYSE">DGX</a>), and LabCorp Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LH#NYSE">LH</a>), each employing AI in unique ways to enhance diagnostics, therapy selection, and overall patient care across the care continuum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tempus AI</h2>
BofA analyst says Tempus AI perfectly fits the theme of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/movers-shakers/25/06/45726456/tempus-ai-stock-is-surging-today-what-investors-are-watching" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI in precision medicine</a>.
Like most MDx companies, Tempus AI has built its business off an industry-leading database of clinico-genomic data. Tempus leverages this data by training AI/ML algorithms to parse through the data and detect patterns and anomalies.&nbsp;&nbsp;
BofA reiterates a Neutral rating for Tempus AI, given its already premium valuation. The analyst remains constructive on the business and key markets. However, due to peer group expansion, BofA raised its price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TEM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast from $68 to $70</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Guardant Health</h2>
Guardant Health was an early mover in the liquid biopsy cancer testing/therapy selection market with their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45756387/why-is-cancer-diagnostic-guardant-health-stock-trading-higher-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Guardant 360 (G360) test</a>.
Guardant Health has a clear goal to build upon its G360 test (therapy selection) and expand across the care continuum, thus allowing it to participate in a patient&#8217;s receiving precision medicine at all stages post-cancer diagnosis.
Guardant Health has its business built on the algorithms that it runs.
BofA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Buy rating</a> on Guardant Health, given its leading position, strong growth profile, and upcoming catalyst path for new products.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Exact Sciences</h2>
BofA analysts say Exact Sciences Corp. has expanded to offer services <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45165534/cancer-diagnostic-firm-exact-sciences-ceo-says-strong-q1-paves-way-for-transformative-2025-lifts-annual-guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">across the care continuum</a>.
While Exact Sciences started screening for colorectal cancer specifically, their focus has been steered towards all indications and across the treatment paradigm.
Exact Sciences&#8217; legacy Cologuard test / early detection doesn&#8217;t necessarily &#8220;fit&#8221; the precision medicine theme; however, everything Exact has done since is &#8220;precision medicine / AI-aligned,&#8221; BofA added in its investor note on Wednesday.
Given its strong financial profile and near-term catalyst path, the analyst maintains a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EXAS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy rating on Exact Sciences</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NeoGenomics</h2>
NeoGenomics has been known as a traditional reference lab offering many hotspot tests. However, by adding the PanTracer testing family and data services offering, NeoGenomics leverages the numerous hotspot data points and can build those into a more robust AI algorithm to inform the more modern therapy selection tests.
The dataset/algorithm and 500+ tests create a flywheel where the tests that are sold generate information. The information informs the algorithm, eventually leading to more accurate algorithms, which help market the tests… bring you back to more tests.
BofA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NEO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Neutral rating</a> on NeoGenomics given near-term headwinds and more limited upside versus its prior trajectory.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quest Diagnostics</h2>
Quest Diagnostics is showing trends toward AI in precision medicine with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44929366/quest-diagnostics-revenue-rebound-strategic-moves-fuel-outlook-confidence" rel="noreferrer noopener">Haystack and PathAI Quest</a>.
While not traditionally considered a &#8220;leader&#8221; in AI/precision medicine, Quest Diagnostics has shown progress toward becoming a company to watch.
At DGX&#8217;s 2025 Investor Day, management discussed innovations in lab diagnostics, including the adoption of AI and automation. Given Quest Diagnostics&#8217; strong, steady performance and lower exposure to macro/policy overhangs, the analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DGX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Buy rating</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">LabCorp</h2>
LabCorp Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LH#NYSE">LH</a>) aims to be a notable player in AI precision medicine. Although LabCorp is known as a traditional reference lab, with trends toward AI and precision medicine, LH has shown signs of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43539754/labcorp-reports-q4-earnings-beat-and-expects-strong-2025-growth-analyst-reiterates-outperform-on-stable-2025-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">jumping on the bandwagon</a>.
While LabCorp already offers NGS tests, there appears to be a clear trend and focus towards advancing its AI/precision medicine portfolio.
BofA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Buy rating</a> on LabCorp, given strong and steady performance and lower exposure to macro/policy overhangs.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Quest Diagnostics Stock In The Last 5 Years

Quest Diagnostics (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGX#NYSE">DGX</a>), a leading provider of diagnostic information services, today announced a collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MD Anderson) designed to improve the assessment of elevated risk of cancer in individuals who would benefit from medically appropriate cancer screenings.
Under terms of the agreement, Quest will develop and validate a laboratory-developed blood test based on circulating protein biomarkers associated with high risk for one or more cancers, including colorectal, lung, breast, pancreatic, ovarian, liver, prostate, esophageal and stomach. Quest will base the test on a developmental license to technology and intellectual property associated with the Multi-Cancer Stratification Test (MCaST), a cohesive risk model developed by the laboratory of Samir Hanash, M.D., Ph.D., at MD Anderson. Dr. Hanash and his team identified a set of biomarkers that inform the model through extensive clinical research conducted on screening study cohorts involving tens of thousands of individuals. Quest plans to refine and further develop and validate the MCaST technology for its own lab-developed test.

Baird Maintains Outperform on Quest Diagnostics, Raises Price Target to $194

Quest Diagnostics Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGX#NYSE">DGX</a>) reported on Tuesday that first-quarter 2025 sales of $2.65 billion, up 12.1% year over year, beat the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $2.63 billion</a>.
The diagnostic test provider reported quarterly adjusted earnings of $2.21 per share, up 8.3%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44917998/quest-diagnostics-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-reaffirms-revenue-and-adjusted-dilu" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of $2.15</a>.
&#8220;In the first quarter, we delivered strong revenue growth of approximately 12%, including nearly 2.5% in organic growth, as demand rebounded in March following weather impacts early in the quarter. Our growth was due to contributions from acquisitions and large enterprise accounts, demand for our advanced diagnostics portfolio, and expanded health plan access,&#8221; said Jim Davis, chairman, CEO and president. &#8220;We are reaffirming our revenue and adjusted EPS guidance for the full year 2025.&#8221;

Revenue per requisition increased by 0.3%, requisition volume increased 12.4% and organic requisition volume fell slightly by 0.9%.
Adjusted Operating income increased 16.3% to $406 million, while margin improved from 14.8% to 15.3%.
Outlook: Quest Diagnostics reaffirms 2025 guidance for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43346695/quest-diagnostics-delivers-q4-earnings-beat-the-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenue of $10.70 billion—$10.85 billion</a> versus the consensus of $10.78 billion and adjusted EPS of $9.55-$9.80 compared to the consensus of $9.68.
In February, Quest agreed to acquire select assets of Fresenius Medical Care AG&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMS#NYSE">FMS</a>) wholly owned Spectra Laboratories. Financial terms were not disclosed. The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2025. The transition of services is expected to be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43910114/fresenius-medical-care-announces-divestment-of-select-laboratory-assets-to-quest-diagnostics" rel="noreferrer noopener">complete by early 2026</a>.
In addition, under a separate agreement, Quest will provide comprehensive laboratory services related to end-stage kidney disease and specialized water testing for patients and providers served by dialysis centers operated by Fresenius Medical Care and its wholly owned and joint-venture partners in the U.S.
In February, GRAIL Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRAL#NASDAQ">GRAL</a>) and Quest Diagnostics announced the initial phase of a program to improve provider access to GRAIL&#8217;s Galleri multi-cancer early detection test.
Providers can now order the Galleri test directly from GRAIL through the Quest Diagnostics connectivity system that enables providers in the U.S. to order and receive reports of laboratory tests electronically through Quest&#8217;s Quanum laboratory portal and more than 900 electronic health record (EHR) systems. More than 500,000 providers used the Quest connectivity <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43657458/grail-and-quest-diagnostics-provide-grails-galleri-multi-cancer-early-detection-mced-test-through-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">system last year</a>.
William Blair writes, &#8220;At first glance, these results are in line with what we would expect from Quest — consistent and with little drama.&#8221;
&#8220;We remain comfortable with the 2025 guide, as Quest continues to benefit from prudent utilization assumptions, mix benefits, flattish unit pricing, a more favorable regulatory environment and plenty of acquisition targets,&#8221; analyst Andrew Brackmann noted.
The William Blair analyst added, &#8220;Beyond the favorable industry backdrop, we believe Quest should be well insulated from macroeconomic noise, with the overwhelming majority of revenue coming from the U.S. and what we think will be minimal (likely offset) impact from tariffs.&#8221; The analyst reiterated the Outperform rating.
DGX Price Action: Quest Diagnostics stock is up 7.83% to $174.53 at publication on Tuesday.
