Labcorp Announced That Executive Vice President And CFO Glenn Eisenberg Will Retire From The Company And Julia Wang Will Join On December 2 As Executive Vice President And CFO

On Wednesday, Donald Trump, the Republican candidate and former president, was elected to the highest office again, marking a return to an administration. His second term is likely to impact U.S. healthcare.
Trump has been unclear about his healthcare policy goals during his campaign. Healthcare <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kff.org/health-care-in-2024-elections-apvotecast-polling/?entry=kff-analysis-of-ap-votecast-abortion-ballot-initiatives" rel="noreferrer noopener">ranked</a> lower than issues like the economy and immigration in voter concerns.
A <a target="_blank" href="https://apnews.com/article/ap-votecast-elections-harris-trump-voters-d5cf4e3611f50ec4349d93ddc7f037cd" rel="noreferrer noopener">poll</a> from the Associated Press found that only 8% of voters viewed healthcare as their top issue, compared to 39% who chose the economy and 20% who picked immigration. Abortion was the leading issue for 11% of voters.

Kennedy Jr. Rattles Vaccine Stocks: &#8216;Shoot First Reaction&#8217;</a>
Despite his focus on &#8220;Make America Healthy Again,&#8221; millions of Americans may lose health insurance subsidies next year, depending on the political climate after the election and the Republicans&#8217; control of the Senate.
The subsidies, expanded under the 2021 American Rescue Plan, help many, particularly the middle class, afford health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
These subsidies are set to expire at the end of 2025, and it remains uncertain whether they will be extended under the new administration.
Trump and other Republicans have opposed continuing the subsidies.
The NBC News <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/millions-risk-losing-health-insurance-trumps-victory-rcna179146" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, citing some analysts, suggests that the chances of extension could be less than 5% if Republicans win control of the House and the Senate.
Even if Democrats control the House, extending these subsidies seems unlikely. Without an extension, nearly 4 million Americans could lose coverage by 2026 due to unaffordable premiums.
The 2021 changes led to a surge in ACA enrollment, with 15.5 million people benefiting from subsidies across 32 states. The report adds that if the subsidies aren&#8217;t renewed, up to 15.4 million Americans could lose health coverage by 2030.
Another significant issue is Trump&#8217;s stance on Medicare. As president, he supported Medicare Advantage, a private insurer-run program that could eventually replace traditional, government-run Medicare.
The NPR report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/11/07/nx-s1-5183092/trump-election-2024-medicare-advantage" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlights</a> that critics argue that expanding private insurers could increase costs for taxpayers and limit care, with some beneficiaries finding it difficult to switch back to traditional Medicare.
Robert Berenson, a former government official, warned that traditional Medicare could &#8220;wither on the vine.&#8221;
Medicare Advantage grew with the 2003 legislation introducing a drug benefit and expanded private insurers&#8217; role in the program. Although private plans were expected to lower costs, they have been more expensive.
The report also says that in 2023, Medicare Advantage plans cost taxpayers about 6% — or $27 billion — more than traditional Medicare, though some research suggests they offer better care.
The future of healthcare policy in the U.S. will depend on the political dynamics in Congress and Trump&#8217;s second term.
With Republicans pushing for major changes to the ACA and Medicare, experts warn of significant shifts in how Americans access and pay for healthcare in the coming years.

Baird Maintains Outperform on Labcorp Holdings, Raises Price Target to $289

Thursday, Laboratory Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LH#NYSE">LH</a>) reported third-quarter 2024 adjusted earnings per share of $3.50, up from $3.38 a year ago, beating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $3.49</a>.
Sales increased 7.4% year-over-year to $3.28 billion, almost in line with the consensus of $3.26 billion.
The increase was due to organic revenue of 4.2%, acquisitions, net of divestitures of 3.1%, and foreign <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41512196/labcorp-announces-2024-third-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">currency translation of 0.1%</a>.
The 4.2% increase in organic revenue was driven by a 4.8% increase in the company's organic Base Business, partially offset by a (0.6%) decrease in COVID-19 testing.&nbsp;

Adjusted operating income for the quarter was&nbsp;$441.1&nbsp;million, or 13.4% of revenue, compared to&nbsp;$423.9 million, or 13.9%, in the third quarter of 2023.
William Blair reported that the operating margin came in about 30 basis points below expectations, primarily due to a lower margin in the diagnostics segment, which stood at 15.2%. This decline was influenced by fewer operational days caused by adverse weather and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38442059/labcorps-q1-revenue-surpasses-forecasts-analysts-scrutinize-invitae-deal" rel="noreferrer noopener">dilution from Invitae</a>.
Diagnostics Laboratories revenue for the quarter was&nbsp;$2.55 billion, an increase of 8.9%.
Biopharma Laboratory Services revenue increased 2.6% to $737.7 million.
Guidance:&nbsp;LabCorp expects 2024 adjusted EPS of $14.30-$14.70, compared to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40109789/labcorps-stock-soars-after-q2-performance-analyst-highlights-strong-position-in-hea" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior guidance of $14.30-$14.90</a> and the consensus of $14.56.
The analyst notes that adjusted EPS guidance was lowered due to a $0.15 headwind from adverse weather impacts and offset by slightly better underlying trends.
The weather impact was slightly greater than expected, but William Blair believes investors will likely overlook this factor, as they did with Quest Diagnostics (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGX#NYSE">DGX</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41458004/quest-diagnostics-ceo-touts-new-customer-wins-in-q3-expects-earnings-growth-in-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">earlier in the week</a>.
The analyst noted that LabCorp could experience a more significant effect from the weather this quarter, given its higher exposure to North Carolina, which was impacted by Hurricane Helene, compared to Quest.
The company expects 2024 revenue growth of 6.6%-7.3%, compared to the prior guidance range of 6.4%-7.5% and the consensus of 12.96 billion.
The guidance includes 2024 Diagnostics Laboratories sales growth of 7.2%-7.8% and Biopharma Laboratory Services&nbsp;sales growth of 4.7%-5.6% versus prior guidance of 6.9%-7.9% and 3.7%-5.0%, respectively.
Price Action: Laboratory stock is up 6.37% at $233.91 at last check Thursday.

Labcorp Expands STI Test Offerings, To Serve As The Exclusive NOWDiagnostics Distributor For Clinical Testing In The U.S., Offering First To Know Syphilis Test Nationwide

Labcorp Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lh#NYSE">LH</a>) or Labcorp benefits from the solid execution of its strategic priorities. Investment in targeted high-growth areas should drive the momentum. The company faces headwinds from macroeconomic uncertainties and growing foreign exchange issues. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) currently.
<h2>Factors Driving LH Stock</h2>
LabCorp is well-placed for long-term success in Cell &amp; Gene Therapy, expanding into the consumer market and international growth through the specialty testing and biopharma business. In June 2024, Labcorp Tissue Complete comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) service was availed in Geneva and Shanghai to support global clinical trials. The integration of OmniSeq INSIGHT circulating tumor DNA expanded Labcorp&#39;s leadership in liquid biopsy comprehensive genomic profiling for solid tumors.
LabCorp&#39;s Biopharma business is benefiting from collaborations with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with whom it started to work on potential antivirals, treatments and vaccines. Revenue-wise, Biopharma&#39;s growth continues to be driven by strength in central laboratories, its largest part, which improved by 9% in the second quarter of 2024. The Early Development business is also recovering sequentially, led by reduced cancellations and booking improvement, and is expected to generate higher revenues in the second half of the year.
Labcorp has been focused on expanding its margins though the LaunchPad initiative. The company&#39;s 2024-2026 guidance includes a savings target range of $100 million-$125 million annually. The benefits will be driven by rationalizing the geographic location of facilities and talent, leveraging technological advancements and structural enhancements, integrating acquisitions and re-engineering the company&#39;s systems and processes. In the second quarter, the rise in operating income and margin was fueled by the strong demand and LaunchPad savings.
The stock has risen 11.1% in the past three months against the industry&#39;s 2.7% decline. With the company strategically expanding in the high-growth areas, as well as putting focus on cost saving initiatives, we expect the stock to continue its upward movement in the coming days.

<h2>Factors Weighing on LH Stock</h2>
Labcorp&#39;s operation is heavily dependent on the demand for diagnostic testing and drug development services from patients, physicians, hospitals, medical device companies and others. Volatilities in global economic conditions, including inflation and the risk of short or long-term recessions, could reduce the demand for these services, affecting the customers&#39; ability to pay and, consequently, the profitability of the company.
Added to this, the escalation of the present geopolitical situations in Ukraine and the Middle East can potentially decrease testing volumes, cause disruptions in the supply chain and services and increase the prices of offerings. In the second quarter, the cost of revenues went up by 4.7% year over year. SG&amp;A expenses increased 10.3%, mainly from higher personnel costs.
Labcorp&#39;s huge exposure in international markets makes it vulnerable to currency fluctuations. In 2023, the BLS segment derived nearly 58% of its revenues from overseas, while Dx also earned a modest portion in Canada and a relatively small amount in the rest of the world. An approximate 13.7% of the company&#39;s revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the first half of 2024. With the recent upward trend observed in the value of the U.S. dollar, further acceleration expected by analysts in this value will cause the company&#39;s revenues to face a tough situation overseas.&nbsp;In the second quarter, BLS and Dx revenue growth was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation of 0.1%.
<h2>Key Picks</h2>
Some better-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/isrg#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>), TransMedics Group&nbsp;and Quest Diagnostics. While Intuitive Surgical and TransMedics currently sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) each, Quest Diagnostics carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Intuitive Surgical&#39;s shares have surged 60.5% in the past year. Estimates for the company&#39;s earnings have moved 5.1% north to $1.65 per share for 2024 in the past 30 days.
ISRG&#39;s earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 8.97%. In the last reported quarter, it posted an earnings surprise of 16.34%.
Estimates for TransMedics&#39; 2024 EPS have moved up 125% to 27 cents in the past 30 days. Shares of the company have soared 135.2% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 14.9% growth.
TMDX&#39;s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 287.50%. In the last reported quarter, it delivered an earnings surprise of 66.67%.
Estimates for Boston Scientific&#39;s 2024 EPS have increased 1.7% to $2.40 in the past 30 days. In the past year, shares of BSX have risen 55.5% compared with the industry&#39;s 17.9% growth.
In the last reported quarter, BSX delivered an earnings surprise of 6.90%. Its earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 7.18%.
