This Growth Stock Rose Last Week. Is It Still a Buy?
Shares of Illumina (NASDAQ: ILMN) rose 8% last week and added another 4% on Monday, reaching the stock's highest point since mid-August, on news that the company has developed a speedier gene-sequencing machine.
Illumina stock is still down more than 45% this year and the company has had its share of headaches, but I see it as a great long-term bargain right now.
Shares of Illumina trade for roughly 40 times earnings and have a price-to-sales ratio of 6.6, both of which may seem high, until you consider that the biotech has huge growth potential and has increased revenue by 4,526% over the past 10 years.
