TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

Slept-On Healthcare Stocks

Sky-High Ceiling

Genetic testing company GeneDx $WGS ( ▼ 2.27% ) is up more than 900% over the past 12 months. But Alger analyst Amy Zhang thinks it could still have much further to go.

That’s not all. The analyst pointed to a handful of unknown healthcare stocks with tons of potential upside. Here’s why the asset management firm thinks it’s time for investors sleeping on the sector to wake up.

Exponential Growth

GeneDx leverages genome sequencing to diagnose rare diseases and identify genetic causes. Last year, its market cap surged from less than $70 million to more than $2 billion, bringing its stock price skyrocketing with it.

But Zhang believes the company is still well-positioned to outpace a growing industry. According to Zhang, GeneDx is primed for faster and cheaper growth than its competitors, all without sacrificing its products' high accuracy standards. 

She believes the company is helping to solve a “very critical problem in health care” and that its growth runway remains long. She expects the market for its services to reach more than $40 billion, which could bring revenue and profits up with it.

Natera & Glaukos

Zhang also pointed to two other little-known stocks, Natera $NTRA ( ▼ 2.94% ) and Glaukos $GKOS ( ▼ 1.56% ) , as potential winners. 

She believes the total addressable market for Natera — another emerging genetic testing player — could reach as high as $60 billion. The analyst is confident in its management’s ability to execute, which is part of why the stock is up some 57% over the past full year. 

For Glaukos, the analyst says the launch of iDose, a sustained-release implant, will be a huge growth driver for the company. Unlike the other names, the glaucoma treatment stock is down more than 20% in 6 months — a potentially attractive entry point.

Which stock do you think will outperform over the next 12 months?
