- Illumina's acquisition of Grail was received poorly - we disagree wholeheartedly with the market and see significant upside from the acquisition, which increases its addressable market by 10x.
- The company is dominant, with a ~70% market share, and is the global market leader in next-generation sequencing and microarray-based solutions, giving it a strong competitive position to execute from.
- The drop in price following the Grail acquisition announcement provides long-term investors with an attractive entry point.
- Our valuation suggests Illumina trades at a 49% discount to fair value excluding Grail, which, if successful, represents over 500% upside for shareholders.
