Baird Maintains Outperform on Quest Diagnostics, Raises Price Target to $194

Quest Diagnostics Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGX#NYSE">DGX</a>) reported on Tuesday that first-quarter 2025 sales of $2.65 billion, up 12.1% year over year, beat the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $2.63 billion</a>.

&#8220;In the first quarter, we delivered strong revenue growth of approximately 12%, including nearly 2.5% in organic growth, as demand rebounded in March following weather impacts early in the quarter. Our growth was due to contributions from acquisitions and large enterprise accounts, demand for our advanced diagnostics portfolio, and expanded health plan access,&#8221; said Jim Davis, chairman, CEO and president. &#8220;We are reaffirming our revenue and adjusted EPS guidance for the full year 2025.&#8221;

Revenue per requisition increased by 0.3%, requisition volume increased 12.4% and organic requisition volume fell slightly by 0.9%.
Adjusted Operating income increased 16.3% to $406 million, while margin improved from 14.8% to 15.3%.
Outlook: Quest Diagnostics reaffirms 2025 guidance for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43346695/quest-diagnostics-delivers-q4-earnings-beat-the-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenue of $10.70 billion—$10.85 billion</a> versus the consensus of $10.78 billion and adjusted EPS of $9.55-$9.80 compared to the consensus of $9.68.
In February, Quest agreed to acquire select assets of Fresenius Medical Care AG&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMS#NYSE">FMS</a>) wholly owned Spectra Laboratories. Financial terms were not disclosed. The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2025. The transition of services is expected to be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43910114/fresenius-medical-care-announces-divestment-of-select-laboratory-assets-to-quest-diagnostics" rel="noreferrer noopener">complete by early 2026</a>.
In addition, under a separate agreement, Quest will provide comprehensive laboratory services related to end-stage kidney disease and specialized water testing for patients and providers served by dialysis centers operated by Fresenius Medical Care and its wholly owned and joint-venture partners in the U.S.
In February, GRAIL Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRAL#NASDAQ">GRAL</a>) and Quest Diagnostics announced the initial phase of a program to improve provider access to GRAIL&#8217;s Galleri multi-cancer early detection test.
Providers can now order the Galleri test directly from GRAIL through the Quest Diagnostics connectivity system that enables providers in the U.S. to order and receive reports of laboratory tests electronically through Quest&#8217;s Quanum laboratory portal and more than 900 electronic health record (EHR) systems. More than 500,000 providers used the Quest connectivity <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43657458/grail-and-quest-diagnostics-provide-grails-galleri-multi-cancer-early-detection-mced-test-through-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">system last year</a>.
William Blair writes, &#8220;At first glance, these results are in line with what we would expect from Quest — consistent and with little drama.&#8221;
&#8220;We remain comfortable with the 2025 guide, as Quest continues to benefit from prudent utilization assumptions, mix benefits, flattish unit pricing, a more favorable regulatory environment and plenty of acquisition targets,&#8221; analyst Andrew Brackmann noted.
The William Blair analyst added, &#8220;Beyond the favorable industry backdrop, we believe Quest should be well insulated from macroeconomic noise, with the overwhelming majority of revenue coming from the U.S. and what we think will be minimal (likely offset) impact from tariffs.&#8221; The analyst reiterated the Outperform rating.
DGX Price Action: Quest Diagnostics stock is up 7.83% to $174.53 at publication on Tuesday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Quest Diagnostics P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 128.64 in the Health Care Providers &amp; Services industry, Quest Diagnostics Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 21.85. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
