Exact Sciences Corporation shares closed down 13.25% yesterday on about 7.7 million shares traded. It was a rough day of trading for the company after it shared its preliminary financial results at the annual J.P Morgan Healthcare Conference. The strange thing is that the results were actually very good. Perhaps investors were waiting for much bigger numbers in terms of the company's Cologuard test completions. According to the results, fourth quarter 2017 revenue is forecast to be in the range of $86.9 million to $87.9 million. This was ahead of the $79.1 million that analysts had been expecting and is a 148% growth at the midpoint. Full year revenue for 2017 is expected to be $265.5 million to $266.5 million. This would be a growth of 168% at the midpoint. It was also revealed that last year 571,000 Cologuard tests had been completed which was a growth of 124% YOY. Since the test launched, there are now 102,000 providers.
