Competitive advantage assessment

Key strengths

  • Stable Gross Margin Profile Gross margin stability is strong (score 0.67). Low volatility confirms durable consumable pricing.
  • Durable Capital Returns ROIC durability is strong (score 0.87). Consistent returns confirm the moat is not eroding.

Key risks

  • Below-Peer Gross Margins Gross margin quality lags peers (score 0.39). May indicate commodity-like product mix or distributor margin drag.
  • Thin Interest Coverage Interest coverage lags peers (score 0.32). Thin coverage limits M&A optionality and raises refinancing risk.

The dashed ring is the peer median. Defense scores are percentile ranks against peers, so 50 is roughly the typical company in this group.

How NEO scores on the Medical Devices & Diagnostics defenses

Pricing Power & Consumable Moat

Score 50 · 25% of the moat score

In MedTech, pricing power is rarely about the machine — it is about what the machine consumes.

R&D Pipeline & Capital Returns

Score 61 · 20% of the moat score

Research spending is how a device company keeps its installed base current, but spending alone proves nothing.

FCF Quality & Cash Conversion

Score 46 · 20% of the moat score

MedTech companies grow by acquisition, and the resulting intangible amortisation depresses reported earnings without consuming any cash.

Commercial Execution

Score 44 · 15% of the moat score

Devices are sold into hospitals and labs through committees, tenders and long qualification cycles, which makes the sales organisation expensive and hard to replicate.

Capital Structure & Resilience

Score 33 · 12% of the moat score

Serial acquirers carry debt, and the question is whether the cash flows underneath it are dependable enough to service it through a downturn.

Growth Durability

Score 63 · 8% of the moat score

Growth durability separates an expanding installed base from a good product cycle.

It ranks #32 of 62 scored companies in Diagnostics & Research, the top 52%. The score is a weighted composite of 6 competitive defenses, each measured against industry peers of 61 companies in Diagnostics & Research. Its strongest defense is Growth Durability (63/100) and its weakest is Capital Structure & Resilience (33/100).

How does NeoGenomics, Inc. compare with other Diagnostics & Research companies?

NeoGenomics, Inc. ranks #32 of 62 scored companies in Diagnostics & Research by moat score. The widest moat in Diagnostics & Research is IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (IDXX) at 78/100. The companies ranked closest are Biodesix, Inc. (BDSX) at 51 just above it and Prenetics Global Limited (PRE) at 50 just below it.

How is the moat score calculated?

Each company is scored with an industry-specific template — Medical Devices & Diagnostics in this case, chosen because the defenses that matter to a bank are not the ones that matter to a software company. Every defense combines several financial signals, and each signal is measured as a percentile against a peer group of 61 companies in Diagnostics & Research. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.

Why is NeoGenomics, Inc. scored with the Medical Devices & Diagnostics template?

Medical device and diagnostics companies place an instrument once and then sell the consumables, reagents and service that instrument needs for the next decade. The economics are a razor-and-blade model wrapped in regulatory approval and clinician habit, so the MedTech template scores the durability of that installed base rather than the size of any single product launch.

Which competitive defenses are measured for NeoGenomics, Inc.?

The Medical Devices & Diagnostics template measures 6 defenses, and NEO scores: Pricing Power & Consumable Moat (50), R&D Pipeline & Capital Returns (61), FCF Quality & Cash Conversion (46), Commercial Execution (44), Capital Structure & Resilience (33), Growth Durability (63). Each is scored independently as a percentile against peers, so a company can be strong on one and weak on another — the overall score reflects how those defenses are weighted for this industry.
