Guardant stock plummeting!

[anonymous]

Their blood test still qualifies for medicare reimbursement. Blood tests are hard. Exact Sciences is trying to do its own version of blood test too. It will be abysmal and clownish when those numbers come out (if they ever come out).

83% sensitivity on the Guardant 'blood' test vs. 92% sensitivity on the cologuard 'stool' test.
90% specificity on the Guardant 'blood' test vs. 87% specificity on the cologuard 'stool' test.

It is not even an apples-to-apples comparison, and Guardant is looking good so far.

Not according to investors.

In what world is 83% better than 92%?

In what world is 10% for AA better than 49% for AA?

Guardant’s test is an inferior product!

As of now, yes. But, can you USE common-sense? I am already TELLING you that it is NOT an apples-to-apples comparison. Why don't you compare ES blood test to Guardant Health's blood test, and come back with the numbers?

If blood tests were irrelevant, why are your clowns in management at ES pouring resources into blood tests??
Your clowns at ES will NEVER make it to a blood test. The MRDs and the MCED included.

Not one post ever claimed they were irrelevant! We all see that they are inferior. They will advance as will CG when we launch 2.0. The entire industry is trying to bring blood tests, that’s where most think medicine will go in the future. Guardant’s failure just proved that’s a long way away. Blood will never replace stool DNA. Sit back and watch.

He/she works for Guardant and they will have all the time in the world to watch as they announce layoffs in that division due to a subpar product with no coverage or HEDIS measures, meanwhile Cologuard stays the primary choice. I can tell you in my geography no one is using the Guardant Shield test anymore.
