On July 31, Guardant Health Inc. rose 5.67% overnight, trading at $160.99/share, with turnover of $9,622.
The movement was driven by the company's Q2 earnings release, which showed revenue of $335.0 million, up 44.3% year-over-year, significantly exceeding the consensus estimate of $314.2 million. Adjusted loss per share was $0.42, narrowing from $0.44 in the prior-year period, though slightly missing the $0.41 estimate.
Crucially, the company raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $1.34 billion-$1.36 billion, up from the prior range of $1.30 billion-$1.32 billion, and well above the FactSet consensus of $1.31 billion. The strong top-line beat and raised outlook served as the primary catalysts for the overnight gain. Additionally, recent positive developments including FDA approval of Guardant360 Liquid CDx as a multi-cancer companion diagnostic, inclusion of the Shield blood test in American Cancer Society colorectal screening guidelines, and multiple analyst price target increases further supported bullish sentiment.
