Why Fulgent Genetics Stock Was Crushing It on Friday
Key Points The company posted an unexpected profit in its latest reported quarter. That was accompanied by a double-digit improvement in revenue. 10 stocks we like better than Fulgent Genetics › Friday's stock market was generally a gloomy place, but apparently someone forgot to tell Fulgent Genetics (NASDAQ: FLGT). The company's shares were soaring in late-session action, with a very healthy rise of more than 8%. At that point, the bellwether S&P 500 index was mired in a funk with a nearly 2% decline. Fulgent's latest earnings release was a major reason for this dichotomy. A surprise on the bottom line That morning, before market open, Fulgent unveiled its second-quarter results. The genetic testing specialist posted revenue just shy of $82 million, a figure that was more than 15% higher year over year. Non-GAAP (adjusted) net income went the opposite way with a steep (56%) decrease to slightly over $2 million ($0.07 per share). Yet the analysts tracking the stock were, as a group, expecting worse. In fact, they were modeling an adjusted bottom-line loss of $0.18 per share on revenue of only $76 million. In its earnings release, Fulgent credited diversification for the better-than-expected results. It quoted CEO Ming Hsieh as saying that throughout the first half of this year, "we made good progress in growing revenue for our laboratory services business and in advancing our clinical trials for the therapeutic development business." The kind of adjustment investors love Fulgent also raised its revenue and adjusted bottom-line guidance for full-year 2025. Management now anticipates the company will book "core" revenue -- that is, revenue minus the take from COVID testing products and services -- of roughly $320 million and an adjusted net loss of $0.35 per share. Those numbers top the average pundit projections of $0.55 for net loss and under $311 million for revenue. Do the experts think Fulgent Genetics is a buy right now?

Fulgent Genetics, Inc. (FLGT) Surpasses Q2 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
Fulgent Genetics, Inc. (FLGT) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.07 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.23 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.15 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +130.43%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.19 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.04, delivering a surprise of +121.05%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. Fulgent Genetics, which belongs to the Zacks Medical Info Systems industry, posted revenues of $81.8 million for the quarter ended June 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.80%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $71.03 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Fulgent Genetics shares have lost about 7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.8%. What's Next for Fulgent Genetics? While Fulgent Genetics has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Fulgent Genetics was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.22 on $78.25 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$0.62 on $309.87 million in revenues for the current fiscal year. Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical Info Systems is currently in the top 23% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (HIMS), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2025. The results are expected to be released on August 4.

Fulgent Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Fulgent Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLGT) ('Fulgent,' or the 'Company'), a technology-based company with a well-established laboratory services business and a therapeutic development business, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Results: Total Revenue of $81.8 million Core Revenue 1 grew 16% year-over-year to $81.7 million GAAP loss of $19.0 million, or ($0.62) per share Non-GAAP income of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per share Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.0 million Repurchased approximately 130,000 shares at a cost of $2.2 million, and a cumulative total of $110.4 million in share repurchases since the plan's inception in March 2022. Note: 1) Core Revenue is revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP minus revenue from COVID-19 testing products and services including COVID-19 NGS testing revenue, each as calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP income (loss), non-GAAP income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA income (loss), non-GAAP gross profit and margin, and non-GAAP operating income (loss) and margin, are described below under 'Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures' and are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, GAAP income (loss), GAAP gross profit and margin, and GAAP operating income (loss) and margin, in the accompanying tables. Ming Hsieh, Chairperson of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, said, 'In the first half of the year, we made good progress in growing revenue for our Laboratory Services business and in advancing our clinical trials for the Therapeutic Development business. I am pleased with the second quarter results and look forward to continued progress in the balance of 2025.' Paul Kim, Chief Financial Officer, said, 'We are pleased to be raising our top and non-GAAP bottom-line guidance at the halfway point of 2025, reflecting good momentum and the hard work of our employees as we continue to grow our core business. We look forward to a strong second half of the year.' Outlook: For the full year 2025, Fulgent now expects: Core Revenue of approximately $320.0 million GAAP loss of approximately ($2.10) per share Non-GAAP loss of approximately ($0.35) per share Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable securities of approximately $770.0 million as of December 31, 2025* *Cash expenditures may be higher or lower than currently estimated due to a variety of factors and circumstances, including as a result of the Company's ongoing stock repurchase program or other expenditures outside the ordinary course of business, including M&A. Conference Call Information Fulgent will host a conference call for the investment community today at 8:30 AM ET (5:30 AM PT) to discuss its second quarter 2025 results. The call may be accessed through a live audio webcast in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website, An audio replay will be available at the same location. Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain information set forth in this press release and/or to be discussed on the Company's earnings call, including non-GAAP income (loss), non-GAAP income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA income (loss), non-GAAP gross profit and margin, and non-GAAP operating income (loss) and margin, are non-GAAP financial measures. Fulgent believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the performance of the Company's business, excluding certain income or expense items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company's operating results. Fulgent defines non-GAAP income (loss) as net income (loss) calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, plus amortization of intangible assets, plus equity-based compensation expenses, plus impairment loss of investments, plus or minus the non-GAAP tax effect, and plus or minus other charges or gains, as identified, that management believes are not representative of the Company's operations. The non-GAAP tax effect was calculated by excluding from the GAAP provision the impact of the amortization of intangible assets, equity-based compensation expenses, and impairment loss of investments. Fulgent defines adjusted EBITDA income (loss) as GAAP income (loss) plus or minus interest (expense) income, plus or minus provisions (benefits) for income taxes, plus equity-based compensation expenses, plus insurance expense related to transferable tax credits, plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment loss of investments, and plus or minus other charges or gains, as identified, that management believes are not representative of the Company's operations. Fulgent defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP plus equity-based compensation included in cost of revenue as shown in the table below. Fulgent defines non-GAAP gross margin by taking non-GAAP gross profit and dividing it by GAAP revenue. Fulgent defines non-GAAP operating profit (loss) by taking GAAP operating profit (loss) and adding equity-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. Non-GAAP operating margin is calculated by taking non-GAAP operating profit (loss) and dividing it by GAAP revenue. Fulgent may continue to incur expenses similar to the items added to or subtracted from GAAP income (loss) to calculate non-GAAP income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA income (loss); accordingly, the exclusion of these items in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an implication that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of net income (loss), gross profit and margin, and operating income (loss) and margin, in evaluating the Company's operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in conformity with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by Fulgent may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics reported by other companies. The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, due to the inability to predict the amount and timing of impacts outside of the Company's control on certain items, particularly items related to equity-based compensation, tax effects and potential impairments, among other items, which could be material. Reconciling such items would require unreasonable efforts. Because of the inherent uncertainty associated with the Company's ability to project these future items, it is also unable to predict their probable significance. About Fulgent Fulgent is a technology-based company with a well-established laboratory services business and a therapeutic development business. Fulgent's laboratory services business includes technical laboratory and testing services and professional interpretation of laboratory results by licensed physicians.
