The power of the pundit
GeneDx's second-quarter earnings release showed not only a vast improvement in revenue and a flip into the black on the bottom line, but those fundamentals came in significantly higher than the consensus analyst estimates. As if that weren't enough, management raised several key guidance items.

It wasn't hard to be optimistic about the company's future in the wake of such results. Accordingly, no less than three analysts tracking GeneDx raised their price targets on its shares.
TD Cowen's Dan Brennan was the most conservative of the trio, as he bumped his fair value assessment higher to $118 per share from his previous $110 while maintaining his buy recommendation.pundit Brandon Couillard remains more cautious, as he kept his equal weight (read: hold) designation intact but lifted his price target to $95 per share from $78.
No denying the solid results
The most assertive raise of the three came from BTIG's Mark Massaro, who now feels GeneDx is worth $125 per share, well up from the analyst's preceding level of $100. Massaro remains bullish on the company, since he maintained his existing buy recommendation.
According to reports, the BTIG pundit wrote in his new take on the company that not only was its second quarter impressive, but it can also benefit from several factors including lower test denial rates from healthcare providers.
