Illumina

Illumina provides tools and services to analyze genetic material with life science and clinical lab applications. The company generates over 90% of its revenue from sequencing instruments, consumables, and services. Illumina's high-throughput technology enables whole genome sequencing in humans and other large organisms. Its lower throughput tools enable applications that require smaller data outputs, such as viral and cancer tumor screening. Illumina also sells microarrays (9% of 2024 sales) that enable lower-cost, focused genetic screening with primarily consumer and agricultural applications.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Scoops Up Iridium, Beam, Pacific Biosciences While Offloading Illumina And Amgen

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round,</a>&#8220; Jim Cramer recommended selling NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>).
On March 7, NANO Nuclear Energy announced that Florent Heidet, Ph.D. has joined NANO Nuclear as its Chief Technology Officer and Head of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NNE/news">Reactor Development</a>.
Cramer said Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>) is a &#8220;challenged&#8221; company, and he doesn't really care for it.
RBC Capital analyst Conor McNamara, on March 12, maintained Illumina with an Outperform and lowered the price target from $247 to $128.
When asked about Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>), he said, &#8220;Keep looking but do not press the button.&#8221;

Jim Cramer Says Illumina Is 'Challenged,' Recommends Selling This Industrial Stock

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) will likely be one of the top stocks to watch next week. The company's annual GTC conference, often referred to as the Global AI Conference, will take place, and CEO Jensen Huang will once again provide<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37803088/nvidia-gtc-2024-ceo-huang-highlights-the-past-present-and-future-of-ai-a-new-industry-has-emerged"> a keynote speech.</a>
What Happened: The GTC Conference runs March 17 through March 21, with Huang's keynote coming on March 18 at 1 p.m. ET. The event could serve as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/44015322/nvidia-analyst-sees-significant-upside-for-stock-with-favorable-riskreward">the next catalyst</a> for the stock, which has fallen in recent months.
Nvidia's AI conference will give the company a chance to highlight new and upcoming products, give updates on demand for items like the Blackwell chips and showcase future monetization opportunities like robotics and automotives.
Nvidia said Huang's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_waPvOwL9Z8">keynote </a>and the event will provide a "glimpse into the future of AI infrastructure, scientific computing, AI and robotics."
"AI is pushing the limits of what's possible — turning yesterday's dreams into today's reality," Huang <a href="https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-and-industry-visionaries-to-unveil-whats-next-in-ai-at-gtc-2025">said</a>. "GTC brings together the brightest scientists, engineers, developers and creators to imagine and build a better future. Come and be first to see the new advances in NVIDIA computing and breakthroughs in AI, robotics, science and the arts that will transform industries and society."
A preview of GTC from <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/12/nvidia-gtc-2025-what-to-expect-from-this-years-show/">TechCrunch </a>said the expectation is Nvidia shows off an upgraded lineup of the Blackwell chip, like the Blackwell B300 series, codenamed Blackwell Ultra. The chip is slated for a release in the second half of 2025.
The preview also said Nvidia could showcase Rubin, the company's next-gen GPU series, which will be released in 2026.
Huang said on a recent Nvidia earnings call that he would talk about post-Rubin products at GTC, which could mean additional product showcases as the company looks toward 2026 and beyond.
Nvidia will also likely showcase its role in quantum computing. The company will host its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43001201/nvidia-announces-first-ever-quantum-day-at-gtc-2025-days-after-jensen-huang-said-quantum-computing-is-20-years-away" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first-ever</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43001201/nvidia-announces-first-ever-quantum-day-at-gtc-2025-days-after-jensen-huang-said-quantum-computing-is-20-years-away"> quantum day </a>at GTC, which will feature executives from several leading companies in the sector.

Why It's Important: Keynotes from Huang and product unveilings have proven to be major catalysts for Nvidia and its stock.
Huang gave a keynote at this year's CES earlier in January. Huang's speech happened after market hours on Jan. 6. Nvidia stock opened at $152.03 on Jan. 7 and hit the all-time high of $153.13 during that day.
Investor optimism in the stock may have peaked around the keynote and product announcements at the event as shares have fallen since then.
With Nvidia stock currently down year-to-date, Huang's GTC keynote could serve as a pivotal moment to create optimism in the company's chips and AI business once again along with some potential new products and catalysts that haven't been factored into the stock.
Other Companies to Watch: Over 25,000 people are expected to attend GTC 2025, which will have over 1,000 sessions and more than 2,000 speakers.
Last year's GTC event provided a boost to several public companies who were mentioned as Nvidia partners by the company.
A current speaker lineup also shows that several public companies will have speakers at the conference, which could make their stocks worth watching for investors as AI continues to be a catalyst watched by analysts and investors.
Here are some of the public companies that have <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/gtc/speakers/">speakers </a>at GTC 2025:
<ul>
<li>Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>)</li>
<li>Yum! Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>)</li>
<li>Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>)</li>
<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)</li>
<li>Lowe's Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>)</li>
<li>PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>)</li>
<li>Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>)</li>
<li>Coca-Cola Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>)</li>
<li>Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>)</li>
<li>Illumina Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>)</li>
<li>Equinix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQIX#NASDAQ">EQIX</a>)</li>
<li>ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>)</li>
<li>AT&amp;T Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>)</li>
<li>The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)</li>
</ul>
While many companies are represented by AI sector executives or chief technology officers, Rivian stands out with its CEO and founder, RJ Scaringe, speaking at the event.
Nvidia's Quantum Day on March 20 could also serve as a catalyst for the overall quantum computing sector and provide a boost for companies speaking, which <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/gtc/sessions/quantum-day/#:~:text=NVIDIA%20founder%20and%20CEO%20Jensen,holds%20for%20useful%20quantum%20computing.">include</a>:
<ul>
<li>D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>)</li>
<li>IonQ Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>)</li>
<li>Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>)</li>
<li>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)</li>
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)</li>
</ul>
While there is no guarantee that any company or stock will be as impacted as Nvidia by GTC 2025, investors should know the companies present at the event and be prepared for potential catalysts and press releases related to the event.

RBC Capital Maintains Outperform on Illumina, Lowers Price Target to $128

Last week,&nbsp;U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump vowed to impose a 25% tariff on imported goods from Mexico and Canada and to double tariffs on&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/44010093/trumps-plan-for-canada-mexico-china-tariffs-to-start-march-4-could-shake-stock-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">those from China to 20%</a>.
China responded to Trump&#8217;s recent tariff hikes by placing its own tariffs on certain U.S. goods, sanctioning American companies, and planning to file a complaint with&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44117288/after-china-mexico-to-hit-back-against-trumps-tariffs-raising-trade-war-risks" rel="noreferrer noopener">the World Trade Organization</a>.
China also banned imports of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">genetic sequencers</a> from&nbsp;Illumina Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>).

Goldman Sachs has grown more confident that end markets are stabilizing and set for a recovery in 2025, despite ongoing policy and tariff uncertainties. Rising demand and increased stimulus are helping ease market bottlenecks.
Following a visit to China, Goldman Sachs analysts see capital equipment markets at a turning point and write that innovation remains a key advantage.
They are also optimistic about GE Healthcare Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEHC#NASDAQ">GEHC</a>) and Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) in the region.
While Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) offers unique technology, economic constraints, and national quotas may limit its growth. Meanwhile, local competition is expanding quickly, but Goldman Sachs sees limited impact due to a lack of technological differentiation. As a result, analyst David Roman upgraded GE Healthcare stock from Neutral to Buy, raising the <a target="_blank" href="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=819159&amp;action=edit" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $85 to $100</a>.
The analyst has a balanced view on GE Healthcare with stable 4-5% growth in the base business (ex-China), offset by sustained headwinds in the China business (~14% of sales), which would yield top-line growth below consensus and the company&#8217;s medium targets of 4-6% organic revenue growth.
The forecast increase is due to stabilizing trends in China. The analyst expects China sales to return to 2023 levels by 2026, unlike the previous forecast, which did not anticipate a rebound through 2028.
Price Action: GEHC stock is up 0.45% at $85.74&nbsp;at the last check Tuesday.

Last week, China banned imports of genetic sequencers from&nbsp;Illumina just after U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump's&nbsp;additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods took effect.
China accounted&nbsp;for&nbsp;about 7% of Illumina's&nbsp;sales of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/03/44110625/us-firm-illumina-faces-setback-as-china-blocks-imports-amid-escalating-trade-war" rel="noreferrer noopener">$4.3 billion&nbsp;in 2024</a>.
The diagnostic firm has lowered its 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $4.50, at the low end of the range of $4.50 to $4.65, compared to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43544682/illumina-reports-financial-results-for-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $4.45</a>.
In February, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce added Illumina and Calvin Klein owner&nbsp;PVH Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>) to its list of unreliable entities amid the ongoing&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/02/43455326/illumina-stock-tumbles-nearly-5-overnight-on-robinhood-as-china-adds-ilmn-calvin-klein-owner-pvh-to-u" rel="noreferrer noopener">trade war with the U.S</a>.
China claimed the two companies had disrupted normal market transactions and tried to harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
According to Illumina, "These savings would mitigate the impact of a range of potential scenarios for a reduction in revenue and related operating income from the company's Greater China business. The cost reduction program includes optimizing stock-based compensation and non-labor spending and accelerating certain productivity measures."
"Our new fiscal 2025 guidance provides for limited further earnings contribution from China and assumes a continuation of the macro trends we see today," Illumina CFO Ankur Dhingra <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/secfilings/25/03/44236048/illumina-inc-general-corporate-statement-form8" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a statement.
"We will continue to invest in our growth strategy, while taking actions to achieve EPS of approximately $4.50 in 2025, and then grow from there." "We remain focused on achieving high-single-digit revenue growth by 2027, while expanding our margins," Illumina CEO Jacob Thaysen said in a statement.
Illumina CFO Dhingra <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/illumina-to-cut-100-million-in-costs-lowers-guidance-because-of-china-sales-ban-ff8b495a?mod=latest_headlines" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> the Wall Street Journal that the company still runs a facility in China that assembles its older machines. Illumina will also continue selling chemicals and other services to Chinese customers. According to Dhingra, about 90% of the company's global revenue comes from these chemical and service sales.
Price Action: ILMN stock is down 1.24% at $84.90 at the last check on Tuesday.
