HSBC Downgrades Qiagen to Hold

As the third-quarter earnings season approaches, Goldman Sachs has issued a note identifying key stock opportunities for investors looking to profit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41255250/banks-gear-up-for-earnings-season-15-top-stock-picks-including-citigroup-morgan-stanley-and-truist">from financial results.</a>
Analyst John Marshall and his team shared their insights on Thursday, highlighting 18 stocks that could benefit from upward earnings revisions and seven stocks likely to face downward revisions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The &#8216;Stock Picker&#8217;s Year&#8217;: 10% Upside In S&amp;P 500</h3>
Goldman Sachs analysts call 2024 "the year of the stock picker," emphasizing the importance of selective investing in a volatile earnings environment.
According to the investment bank&#8217;s latest projections, the average S&amp;P 500 stock could see a 10% upside over the next 12 months. 
"We see relief rally potential," Marshall stated in his note. "Directional positioning in the options market is balanced, a much better set-up than this time last quarter."
The analysts also observed that activity in options markets, both from hedge funds and retail traders, has decreased recently, signaling a "wait-and-see" approach as investors prepare for third-quarter earnings reports and the upcoming U.S. elections.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Season Volatility Remains Elevated</h3>
Goldman Sachs highlighted that single-stock volatility surrounding earnings events remains at a 14-year high. 
This trend, driven by critical market debates on topics like artificial intelligence, interest rates, and the upcoming election, is expected to continue through the remainder of the year.
&#8220;We expect earnings day moves to remain elevated as most of the key debates for the market have winners and losers in the equity space,&#8221; the note added. 
With this heightened volatility, the firm continues to recommend options-based strategies, advising investors to consider buying options ahead of earnings events and selling options between earnings periods to capitalize on price movements.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">18 Stocks Goldman Sachs Is Bullish On For Third-Quarter Earnings</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; analysts have identified 18 stocks they believe are primed for upside as earnings revisions could be favorable. These stocks span a variety of sectors, from energy and financials to healthcare and technology.

Hence, we expect the market sentiment to remain positive around this news.
<h2>More on QIAGEN&#39;s Expanded Collaboration</h2>
Brazil&#39;s national blood screening program was launched in 2010, the largest blood donation safety initiative in its history. The advanced Brazilian Nucleic Acid Test (NAT Plus) platform, which utilizes QIAGEN&#39;s PCR reagents, was recently rolled out as part of the program. The latest advancement improves transfusional safety by detecting malaria and closing the &quot;diagnostic window&quot; between the time of infection and laboratory diagnosis. Since 2009, QIAGEN and Bio-Manguinhos have been partnering to equip the national blood screening program with advanced molecular testing solutions.

QIAGEN N.V.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qgen#NYSE">QGEN</a>) recently lauded the new guidelines in the United States that recommend screening at-risk children of all ages for latent tuberculosis (TB) infection with modern blood-based tests such as QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus). The latest guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics highlight testing for TB with modern interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs).
With this development, the company aims for its market-leading QFT-Plus to be a gold standard for blood-based tuberculosis detection for patients of all ages.
<h3>More on the New Guidelines</h3>
The new TB screening guidelines build upon AAP&#39;s previous IGRA recommendations and now cover children of all ages, including infants and children aged two and below. The contagious bacterial infection spread primarily through coughing by patients with the active pulmonary form of the disease. As per the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) data, TB cases have been rising post-COVID-19 as public health authorities and primary care providers catch up to the &quot;surveillance gap&quot; caused by the pandemic.
An estimated 13 million people in the United States are likely to have latent TB infections, and children are at increased risk for progression from infection to contagious active TB disease. They are also frequently exposed to settings with a higher risk for TB transmission, such as schools and childcare centers. The AAP&#39;s recommendations follow recently updated guidelines from the American College Health Association stating that IGRAs are preferred over the 120-year-old tuberculin skin test&nbsp;for most situations relevant to college health.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/ee/69828.jpg?v=1631716656" /> 
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The updated childhood TB screening guidelines come as U.S. authorities are expanding the role of latent TB screening in national tuberculosis control efforts. QIAGEN recently partnered with the International Panel Physicians Association to support and educate panel physicians worldwide on new US CDC tuberculosis screening guidelines that require the use of IGRA tests to ensure a safe immigration process, supporting the global fight against TB.
<h3>Significance of QFT-Plus</h3>
Recognized as the world&#39;s leading IGRA blood test, QFT-Plus has been established as a superior alternative to the dated TST. The latter is effective in identifying TB infection in people who have received BCG vaccination, which is common for patients from high-TB-burden countries and those unlikely to return for TST interpretation.
The test has helped patients and providers globally by reducing the number of visits to a single blood draw with a faster turnaround time. Nearly 70-80 million TB skin tests are performed globally each year, including 16-18 million in the United States, with healthcare providers increasingly adopting modern IGRA tests. The expanded AAP recommendations will improve TB infection detection in young children so that they can benefit from preventive treatment, underscoring the importance of the QFT-Plus test.
<h3>Industry Prospects</h3>
Per a Research report, the global TB Diagnostics market was valued at $2.28 billion in 2022 and is likely to witness a 5.2% CAGR through 2022.
TB has emerged as one of the biggest concerns among the government and healthcare agencies, with significant investments being made to develop effective diagnostic technologies to improve patient outcomes and accuracy.
<h3>Notable Developments</h3>
This month, QIAGEN launched 35 new wet-lab tested digital PCR Microbial DNA Detection Assays for its digital PCR platform QIAcuity, significantly broadening its offerings in the field of microbial research. The new assays target a wide range of pathogens responsible for tropical diseases, sexually transmitted infections and urinary tract infections, further solidifying QIAGEN&#39;s position as a leader in microbial detection and analysis.
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
In the past year, QGEN shares have declined 10.5% compared with the industry&#39;s 7.8% fall.
<h3>Zacks Rank and Key Picks</h3>
