  • Natera's continuous innovation, such as the launch of the Prospera Heart test with DQS, demonstrates its commitment to improving patient outcomes and maintaining market leadership.
  • The company's diverse product offerings across oncology, transplant health, and women's health provide multiple revenue streams and reduce dependency on a single market.
  • Significant investments from entities like Massachusetts Financial Services Co. MA indicate strong financial backing and confidence in Natera's growth potential.

What critics are saying

  • Allegations of deceptive sales and billing practices could damage Natera's reputation and lead to legal and financial repercussions.
