LH Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways Labcorp is expected to post Q2 revenue growth of 5.4% and EPS growth of 10.1% year over year.LH expanded diagnostics through partnerships, acquisitions and new oncology, neurology and consumer tests.Labcorp likely saw BLS support from Central Laboratories as Early Development streamlining continued. Labcorp Holdings Inc. (LH - Free Report) , or Labcorp, is slated to report its second-quarter 2026 results on July 30, before the market opens.

In the last reported quarter, the company posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $4.25, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.91%. Labcorp outpaced estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 3.31%.

Q2 Estimates for LHThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for Labcorp’s second-quarter 2026 revenues is pegged at $3.72 billion. This suggests a 5.4% rise from the year-ago reported figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter EPS indicates an improvement of 10.1% to $4.79. The estimate has remained unchanged in the past 60 days.

Here's a quick review of the company’s performance leading up to its second-quarter earnings.

What Could Shape Labcorp's Q2 Results?In the second quarter of 2026, Diagnostics Laboratories’ (Dx) performance is likely to have continued to witness strong organic contribution. Labcorp's ongoing expansion through health system partnerships and acquisitions is expected to have supported testing volumes by broadening its patient and provider network. During the quarter, the company announced a nationwide strategic collaboration with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to expand access to advanced diagnostics for pediatric patients.

In May, Labcorp launched an expanded DPYD Genotyping test to identify cancer patients at risk for severe chemotherapy side effects. Earlier in March, it acquired the select assets of Crouse Health's Laboratory Alliance of Central New York and executed an agreement to manage Crouse Health’s inpatient laboratories. All these developments are expected to have favorably boosted the quarter’s top line.

The company’s expanding specialty testing portfolio likely remained another tailwind. These tests are focused in the areas spanning oncology, women's health, neurology and autoimmune disease, which are projected to far outpace the broader diagnostics market. In second-quarter 2026, Oncology results are likely to have benefited from the launch of several liquid biopsy tests and expanded access to molecular residual disease (MRD) solutions.

Labcorp further strengthened the portfolio by launching Agilent Technologies' FDA-approved companion diagnostic to identify patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer who may be eligible for Merck's KEYTRUDA. The company’s market-leading Alzheimer's testing portfolio may have boosted Neurology revenues.

Beyond the core testing, the company also introduced the first FDA-cleared rapid fentanyl test of its kind made in the United States, delivering results in just 10 minutes. The Labcorp OnDemand platform is also expected to have favorably supported revenues, driven by strong demand across its expanding menu of consumer health tests.

Labcorp may have also benefited from its ongoing use of advanced technologies, including AI and robotics, to enhance customer experiences and productivity. In April, the company expanded its collaboration with Epic, making its full test menu available through the Aura platform. Other recent initiatives include the development of an AI-powered real-world data platform with Amazon Web Services and Datavant to accelerate Alzheimer's research and a strategic collaboration with Optum.ai to streamline laboratory operations. Collectively, all these factors are expected to have positively impacted Labcorp’s second-quarter revenues.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate expects Dx revenues to grow 6.1% year over year.

Within the Biopharma Laboratory Services (“BLS”) segment,Labcorp has likely benefited from the solid performance of Central Laboratories. The company may have also progressed with its strategic actions to streamline the Early Development business, which may have limited overall growth. 

The Zacks Consensus Estimate suggests that BLS revenues will grow 2.7% year over year.

LH Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways Labcorp is expanding oncology, neurology and genetic testing to support long-term growth.LH's Q1 2026 revenues increased 5.8%, aided by acquisitions, partnerships and network expansion.Labcorp's AI, automation and launchpad savings initiatives aim to improve efficiency and margins. Labcorp Holdings Inc. (LH - Free Report) , or Labcorp, is well-poised for growth in the coming quarters owing to its progress on its strategic priority to lead in important specialty testing areas, which are growth drivers for both its businesses. Strategic partnerships and acquisitions help the company broaden its patient and provider network while deepening its presence in key markets. Additionally, it leverages AI and technology to enhance margins and customer experience. Yet, macroeconomic pressures and adverse currency swings pose risks for Labcorp.

In the past year, this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock has risen 3.2% compared with 2.2% growth of the industry and a 23.3% increase of the S&P 500 Composite.

The renowned healthcare diagnostics company has a market capitalization of $21.20 billion. Labcorp’s earnings yield of 6.9% is well ahead of the industry’s 4.3% yield. In the trailing four quarters, the company delivered an average earnings surprise of 3.31%.

Let’s delve deeper.

Tailwinds Supporting LH StockTargeted Development in High-Growth Areas: Labcorp’s continued expansion in faster-growing specialty testing areas, such as oncology, women’s health, autoimmune disease and neurology, is strengthening its growth profile. In the first quarter of 2026, Neurology delivered double-digit growth, driven by an expanded Alzheimer's testing portfolio. Oncology benefited from several newly launched liquid biopsy tests and wider availability of MRD solutions. The MRD portfolio includes the Plasma Detect ID for patients with stage I–III breast cancer or stage I–IIIA non-small cell lung cancer, as well as the Labcorp Plasma Detect Genome for stage III colon cancer, which is now available nationwide.

The integration of Invitae has further expanded the company’s reach in genetic testing solutions. Labcorp is also collaborating with Illumina to advance precision oncology through applications of next-generation sequencing (NGS) solutions across the healthcare ecosystem. The Labcorp OnDemand consumer health platform delivered double-digit growth in the first quarter, supported by its expanded offerings.

Strategic Acquisitions and Partnerships to Drive Growth: In recent years, Labcorp has built a significant number of strategic relationships with health systems and regional/local laboratories, expanding its patient and provider network, and strengthening its presence in key markets. In the first quarter of 2026, enterprise revenues grew 5.8% year over year, with net acquisitions contributing 1.4%.

Recent activities include the purchase of select assets of Crouse Health’s Laboratory Alliance of Central New York’s (Lab Alliance) laboratory business and an agreement to manage their daily inpatient lab operations. Labcorp also acquired select assets of New York-based Empire City Laboratories, became the first U.S. commercial laboratory with an agreement to implement Roche’s cobas Mass Spec solution, and signed a new multi-year partnership agreement with SOMOS.

Focus on Operational Efficiency: The company continues to benefit from its launchpad initiatives, which target $100-$125 million in savings annually. In the first quarter of 2026, Labcorp expanded its collaboration with PathAI to deploy an FDA-cleared digital pathology platform across its national anatomic pathology labs and hospital lab partnerships. Together with Amazon Web Services and Datavant, the company is developing a new AI-powered real-world data platform to accelerate Alzheimer's research. More recently, Labcorp teamed up with Optum.ai to simplify laboratory operations by advancing AI.

Across its core operations, AI and automation are already deployed in areas such as pathology, cytology and microbiology. Labcorp’s generative AI tool, Test Finder, is designed to simplify lab test selection and is also integrated into Labcorp Diagnostic Assistant.

What Ails Labcorp?Macroeconomic Risks: Labcorp’s operations are heavily dependent on the demand for diagnostic testing and drug development services from patients, physicians, hospitals, medical device companies, and others. In recent times, volatilities in global economic conditions, including inflation, have significantly reduced the demand for these services, affecting the customers’ ability to pay and, consequently, the profitability of the company. Added to this, the escalation of the present geopolitical tensions and retaliatory tariffs is putting pressure on the supply chain and services, increasing the prices of offerings. In the first quarter of 2026, the cost of revenues went up 5.3% year over year.

Exposed to Currency Headwind: Labcorp's huge exposure in international markets makes it vulnerable to currency fluctuations. 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’s revenues to face a tough situation overseas.

LH Stock’s Estimate TrendThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for Labcorp’s 2026 earnings per share (EPS) has increased 1 cent to $18.00 in the past 30 days. 

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s 2026 revenues is pegged at $14.71 billion, implying 5.4% growth compared to the last year.

Other Key PicksSome other top-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are Globus Medical (GMED - Free Report) , Align Technology (ALGN - Free Report) and Integra LifeSciences (IART - Free Report) .

Globus Medical has an earnings yield of 5.9% compared with the industry’s negative 3.5% yield. Its earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, with the average surprise being 26.3%. GMED shares have rallied 39.2% against the industry’s 7.5% decline over the past year.

GMED sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

First FDA-approved, at-home screening test that uses RNA technology to detect biomarkers associated with colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas Designed to reduce common barriers to at-home screening with a cleaner, simplified collection experience that minimizes sample handling Meets screening guidelines from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) , /PRNewswire/ -- Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a global leader of innovative and comprehensive laboratory services, today announced the nationwide availability of ColoSense®, the only RNA-based at-home test for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Offered through a commercial collaboration with test developer Geneoscopy, ColoSense expands Labcorp's comprehensive portfolio of colorectal cancer screening solutions. The test is now covered for eligible Medicare and Medicare Advantage beneficiariesi following the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) update to the National Coverage Determination (NCD) in June, with additional commercial coverage also available.

Colorectal cancer is highly preventable when detected early, yet approximately 4 in 10 eligible adults are not up to date with recommended screenings. While at-home tests offer convenience, the collection process can be a significant barrier to completion. According to Labcorp research, among users of at-home screening tests, 41% were uncomfortable preparing the sample, and 34% said the process felt messy. ColoSense is designed to reduce common barriers to at-home screening with a cleaner, simplified collection experience that minimizes sample handling.

"Labcorp is focused on improving colorectal cancer screening rates by offering at-home options consumers are more likely to complete," said Dr. Brian Caveney, chief medical and scientific officer at Labcorp. "With ColoSense now available nationwide, we're expanding access to an FDA-approved screening option that delivers advanced science and a more streamlined, easier-to-use collection experience."

Breakthrough Innovation Recognized by the FDA and Leading Cancer Authorities
ColoSense uses RNA-based technology to detect biomarkers associated with both colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas, precancerous changes that may be an early indication of disease. ColoSense received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA, which is reserved for medical devices that offer the potential for more effective diagnosis or treatment of life-threatening conditions. ColoSense aligns with stool-based RNA screening approaches recognized in the American Cancer Society (ACS) colorectal cancer screening guidelines and is included as a recommended screening option in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines.

"ColoSense reflects years of scientific innovation focused on improving how we screen for colorectal cancer at home," said Matt Sargent, chief commercial officer at Geneoscopy. "We're proud to partner with Labcorp to help bring this test into routine care nationwide and ensure more patients can benefit from earlier detection."

ColoSense is available through healthcare providers for adults aged 45 to 85 at average risk and is not for individuals with a history of colorectal cancer or certain high-risk conditions. ColoSense has demonstrated strong clinical performance, with 93% sensitivity for colorectal cancer in average-risk individuals, and achieved 100% sensitivityii for stage I colorectal cancer, detecting disease at its most treatable stage.

Once ordered, the collection kit is delivered directly to the consumer's home for collection and return, featuring a simplified design that eliminates the need to separate or mix the stool sample. Geneoscopy offers patient navigation support to help individuals understand their results and follow recommended next steps, including colonoscopy after a positive result. ColoSense is a screening test and does not replace diagnostic colonoscopy.

The introduction of ColoSense further expands Labcorp's portfolio of colorectal cancer screening options, providing patients and providers with greater choice and flexibility. To learn more, visit https://www.labcorp.com/treatment-areas/colorectal-cancer/crc-screening/colosense.
