Illumina Inc. has been facing challenges with missed quarters, CEO resignation, and activist investor revolt. However, the company's dominant market share, strong technology and potential for tripled EPS next year offer some hope. Despite a reduction in outlook, the experts believe the company's global exposure and history will help it recover in the next few quarters.

It missed several quarters. Is down 43% this year, though up 4.1% today. Today's buyers are wrong.

The CEO was a victim of the shareholder activist revolt, and the lawsuits are not material in any way, in our view (in fact, one doesn't even use the right company name, having copy/pasted from another lawsuit). We do think the company's dominant market share and robust technology win win out in the end. EPS (adjusted), based on consensus is expected to nearly triple next year. We are also encouraged that ILMN in 2017 received a takeover offer (from Thermo Scientific) at about 40% higher than current levels. Since then sales have nearly doubled and it has been very profitable (except for a loss expected this year).

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

ILMN has been 'distracted' with its fight with activist investors, and its CEO has resigned as fall-out. But we think this is largely reflected in the price now. Illumina will need to regain trust in its ability to deliver on its longer-term goals after initial 2023 guidance for operating margin and EPS fell far short of consensus, which has since been taken down even further. Expectations may have been too frothy after Illumina announced new products and a solid longer-term financial framework at its Genomics Forum and investor day. The reduced outlook accounts for issues in China and the ramping up of its NovaSeq X launch, on top of depressed spending. Consolidated operating margin is forecast at 5% with Grail's dilution, vs. 20% for the core businesses. Top line sales rose just 1% in 2022 after generating an outsized 40% gain in 2021, and is expected to remain flat in 2023. Other components modest pressure from currency. All-in, not so great. But considering its strong market share, global exposure and solid history, we think it deserves a few more quarters. This year has been most unusual. EPS is expected to nearly triple over the next two years, and this (if it occurs) should get things going again.

COMMENT
Illumina Inc.

80% of the world's genomic sequencing equipment runs on their machines. Strong cash flows, but earnings are a mess because they are spending on a big acquisition. But they have increased the board, which is good, and the company is well-positioned. The CEO resigned a few weeks ago and there's infighting about that acquisition.

Illumina Inc.
They've had execution issues, but their products are top-notch. It's a takeover candidate when shares get cheap enough. But the FTC is hostile to mergers now.

PARTIAL BUY
Illumina Inc.
Not for the feint of heart. They had a terrible year, but catalysts are coming, including an analysts' day in early October. There will be a decision on the merger with Grail. If the EU blocks it, Illumina will spin it out and that will be a big catalyst.

Illumina Inc.

He is a big believer in disrupter companies in growth sectors. This is the only company in the world that can do high volume DNA sequencing. They already have a million customers and another million order backlog. There is no one else in this space. They sell equipment and the supplies to operate the equipment. Countries will have more DNA sequencing done to help new drug development. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $286.06)
