Gentian Diagnostics (Buy, TP: NOK104.00) - Data point indicates larger than expected cardiac market

We expect Gentian Diagnostics to have seen business as usual in Q3 and forecast organic sales growth of 48% YOY. The cash position remains solid, with pipeline projects progressing in accordance with timelines, we believe. A recent new data point indicates a c3x larger market opportunity for cardiac marker NT-proBNP than we previously expected, mainly due to higher testing volumes in the US. We have updated our testing volume assumptions and lowered our peak uptake estimate. As a result, we have increased our target price to NOK104 (84), and reiterate our BUY.
