FLGT - Why Fulgent Genetics Stock Was Crushing It on Friday
2025-08-01 16:26:08 ET
Friday's stock market was generally a gloomy place, but apparently someone forgot to tell Fulgent Genetics (NASDAQ: FLGT) . The company's shares were soaring in late-session action, with a very healthy rise of more than 8%. At that point, the bellwether S&P 500 index was mired in a funk with a nearly 2% decline. Fulgent's latest earnings release was a major reason for this dichotomy.
That morning, before market open, Fulgent unveiled its second-quarter results. The genetic testing specialist posted revenue just shy of $82 million, a figure that was more than 15% higher year over year. Non-GAAP (adjusted) net income went the opposite way with a steep (56%) decrease to slightly over $2 million ($0.07 per share).
