Illumina (NASDAQ:ILMN), best known for its genetic variation and biological function systems, has gained 9.5% over the last 5 trading days, after a UK court announced a judgment in Illumina’s favor in a patent infringement suit filed against the BGI Companies. The Court found that four of the five asserted patents were valid and infringed by BGI. In comparison, the broader S&P 500 grew just 1.4% over the last 5 trading days. Now, is ILMN stock poised to grow further? We believe that the stock remains attractive despite the recent move. ILMN stock is expected to post steady revenue and earnings growth over the coming years, led by an increase in demand for consumables for its systems, as well as growth in total installed base. We believe that there is a 79% chance of a rise in ILMN stock over the next month (21 trading days) based on our machine learning analysis of trends in the stock price over the last 5 years.
