CareDx, Inc. (CDNA)

CareDx's stock price has fluctuated over the past six months due to earnings reports, analyst rating changes, reimbursement uncertainty, a stock repurchase program, a leadership change, and preliminary Q4 and full year 2025 results. Q3 2025 earnings beat estimates, while Q2 2025 earnings missed estimates. Analyst ratings have varied, with some downgrades and upgrades. Reimbursement changes created uncertainty, but CMS decided to hold off on removing coverage for AlloSure, AlloMap, and HeartCare. A $50 million stock repurchase program was authorized. Nathan Smith was appointed as the new CFO. Preliminary Q4 and full year 2025 results showed strong testing services volume growth and record revenue.

CareDx anticipates some seasonality in its testing volumes, with modest growth expected in the first quarter of 2025. The company has generally shown consistent demand, with testing services volume increasing year-over-year. The long-term market demand is supported by the ongoing problem of organ rejection and the growth of the global organ transplant market. CareDx's efforts to expand indications for its products also contribute to sustained demand.
