Stock Track11-08

Shares of Fulgent Genetics Inc. (NASDAQ: FLGT) plummeted over 5% on Wednesday, November 8, 2024, after the company reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

The genetic testing company posted total revenue of $71.7 million for the quarter, with its core revenue (excluding COVID-19 testing) growing 9% year-over-year to $71.7 million. However, the company reported a net loss of $14.6 million, or $0.48 per share, compared to a net loss of $13.1 million in the same period last year.

Despite the revenue growth, Fulgent's adjusted EBITDA income for the quarter was a mere $0.4 million, indicating weak profitability. The company also posted a non-GAAP operating loss of $4.2 million, with a negative operating margin of 5.8%.

While Fulgent reiterated its full-year 2024 core revenue guidance of $280 million and improved its earnings per share guidance, investors appeared to be disappointed with the company's lacklustre bottom-line performance in the third quarter.
