Veracyte, Inc. is a global diagnostics company. The Veracyte Diagnostics Platform delivers cancer tests that are fueled by broad genomic and clinical data, deep bioinformatic and AI capabilities, and an evidence-generation engine, which drives durable reimbursement and guideline inclusion for its tests.

It has developed the noninvasive Percepta Nasal Swab test to help physicians determine lung cancer risk. All of its tests are serviced through its own Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratories in South San Francisco, California, San Diego, California and Austin, Texas.

Veracyte Inc (VCYT) is a good buy right now, trading at $43.12 with a forward P/E of 23.58, suggesting potential for growth. The recent Medicare coverage for its Prosigna test is a significant positive catalyst, likely to enhance revenue streams. However, the RSI is at 42.24, indicating it is near the oversold territory, which could present a buying opportunity. The main risk is the recent downgrade from Morgan Stanley, which set a lower price target of $44, indicating potential downside.
