The past five years for NeoGenomics (NASDAQ:NEO) investors has not been profitable

Yahoo4 hours ago
Long term investing is the way to go, but that doesn't mean you should hold every stock forever. We don't wish catastrophic capital loss on anyone. For example, we sympathize with anyone who was caught holding NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEO) during the five years that saw its share price drop a whopping 79%. And we doubt long term believers are the only worried holders, since the stock price has declined 44% over the last twelve months. Shareholders have had an even rougher run lately, with the share price down 14% in the last 90 days.
Since shareholders are down over the longer term, lets look at the underlying fundamentals over the that time and see if they've been consistent with returns.
This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality.
Given that NeoGenomics didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
Over five years, NeoGenomics grew its revenue at 9.9% per year. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. So the stock price fall of 12% per year seems pretty steep. The truth is that the growth might be below expectations, and investors are probably worried about the continual losses.

It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider. You can see what analysts are predicting for NeoGenomics in this interactive graph of future profit estimates.
Investors in NeoGenomics had a tough year, with a total loss of 44%, against a market gain of about 15%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 12% over the last half decade. We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 2 warning signs for NeoGenomics that you should be aware of.
There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of undervalued small cap companies that insiders are buying.

Trump Says He Will Start Talks With China on TikTok Deal

President Trump late Friday said that the U.S. 'pretty much has a deal' for an American company to acquire the U.S. branch of TikTok, adding that he intended to restart talks next week with China to approve the deal. 'We're going to start Monday or Tuesday talking to China,' Mr. Trump told reporters traveling on Air Force One on Friday night as headed to Bedminster, N.J. 'We think we probably have to get it approved by China. Not definitely, but probably.' He added, 'I think the deal is good for China, and it's good for us. It's money, it's a lot of money.' Mr. Trump did not say who the potential buyer was. The president said earlier in the week that he had found a buyer for the U.S. branch of TikTok, the popular Chinese-owned video app that faces a ban adopted by Congress over national security concerns. A 2024 law required that the app effectively be banned in the United States unless its parent company, ByteDance, sold it to a non-Chinese company. Congress was concerned that sensitive user data could end up in the hands of the Chinese government. It was not clear if the deal would comply with some of the requirements Congress adopted for a sale of TikTok, particularly if ByteDance chose not to share the app's algorithm with the U.S. buyers. Private equity firms have been hesitant to invest in a deal without some form of indemnification. Mr. Trump has declined to enforce the law banning the app, which was passed by large bipartisan majorities and unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court. Shortly after being sworn in, Mr. Trump issued an executive order directing the Justice Department to suspend enforcement of the TikTok ban and has since repeatedly extended it. Pam Bondi, the attorney general, has told tech companies that Mr. Trump has the constitutional power to effectively set aside laws.

Travel industry delivers praise and concern after Trump's policy bill becomes law

President Trump's budget and policy bill delivered a mix of celebration and concern for the travel industry, as long-sought investments in infrastructure and business-friendly tax policies came with steep cuts to Brand USA's federal funding. Trump signed the bill into law July 4. U.S. Travel Association CEO Geoff Freeman praised the law's investments in air traffic control modernization and staffing for Customs and Border Protection, but he warned that reductions to Brand USA and visa fee hikes risk deterring inbound travel. The bill includes a $250 Visa Integrity Fee for nonimmigrant visas and a near doubling of the ESTA fee from $21 to $40 for Visa Waiver Program travelers. It also slashed Brand USA's federal matching funds from $100 million to $20 million. "This legislation is a giant step in the right direction when it comes to improving America's travel infrastructure and security," said Freeman. "Bold, necessary investments in air traffic control and Customs and Border Protection will make a meaningful difference in the traveler's experience. "The smart investments in the travel process make foolish new fees on foreign visitors and reductions to Brand USA, America's promotion arm, that much harder to swallow," he added. "Making America the world's most visited destination, and capitalizing on the upcoming World Cup and Summer Olympics, requires smarter policy and legislative changes that we are already pursuing." Forum: Why slashing Brand USA funding is a costly mistake "it's effectively pulling the rug out from under an entire sector of our economy," writes Spark executive vice president Dulani Porter. Continue Reading Freeman said that "raising fees on lawful international visitors amounts to a self-imposed tariff on one of our nation's largest exports: international travel spending. These fees are not reinvested in improving the travel experience and do nothing but discourage visitation at a time when foreign travelers are already concerned about the welcome experience and high prices." Fred Dixon, CEO of Brand USA, said that while the organization is "disappointed" with the reduction in federal matching funds the bill, Brand USA "remains committed to our mission and looks forward to opportunities for funding restoration in the future." "The current reduction will require a significant recalibration of our resources and programming that is still to be determined," Dixon said. "But we remain focused on growing legitimate international inbound travel and the vital boost it provides to the U.S. economy, especially with major global events on the immediate horizon like America250 and the FIFA World Cup." The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) praised the bill's inclusion of tax provisions that it called critical to the hospitality industry. "This law provides long-term tax certainty and powerful incentives for small business owners and will help business owners re-invest in their communities and create more jobs," said AHLA CEO Rosanna Maietta. "Quite simply, it's a game-changer for small businesses across all industries."

Here's Why This Nvidia Partner's Stock Surged in June

A plethora of anecdotal evidence, management commentary, and Nvidia's earnings report suggest spending on data center equipment remains in robust growth mode. The AI application market is still in its early innings. 10 stocks we like better than Vertiv › Shares in data center equipment company Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) surged by 19% in June, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The move comes as the market's concerns over a slowdown in data center capital spending have been assuaged by positive news flow from companies like Vertiv's partner, data center architecture company Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). No one likes piling into the market at the top of a bull market, especially not in the technology sector, where the cyclicality of boom and bust seems to prevail. For the bears, the boom in data center and artificial intelligence (AI)-related spending is set for a natural correction. Additionally, the uncertainty created by the tariff conflict is perceived as potentially causing a pause in spending on data centers. For the bulls, spending on data centers is still in its early innings. In addition, the need for data center capacity to catch up with the demand trend in AI application-related spending will boost spending for many years to come. In terms of Vertiv, the bears will point to the company's flat year-over-year order book in the fourth quarter of 2024 as an early indication of stress down the line. Meanwhile, the bulls will point to the fact that Vertiv raised its full-year 2025 sales guidance to a range of $9.325 billion to $9.575 billion, compared to a prior range of $9.125 billion to $9.275 billion, as announced in the company's first-quarter earnings presentations in April. To stay informed about developments in the data center and AI market, it's a good idea to follow the perspectives of hyperscalers and market service providers, as well as examine anecdotal statements and trading conditions. As previously discussed, a host of information suggests that the market remains strong. In addition, Nvidia's first-quarter 2026 earnings report and management commentary indicated that underlying growth in the market is excellent. For example, Nvidia's data center-related revenue rose by 73% year over year in the first quarter of 2026. Moreover, it's essential to note that while companies like Nvidia are subject to export control regulations on their technology sales to China, Vertiv's power, cooling, and infrastructure solutions for data centers don't face the same kind of restrictions. In fact, the major problem Vertiv faces from the tariff conflict is rising costs associated with products sourced from Mexico and China, areas where management is already rebalancing to mitigate risk. All told, the confirmation of ongoing growth in Vertiv's end markets was a positive for the stock in June, and it remains a great way to play the data center spending boom.
