Insights

The Q3 results reveal concerning trends for Seer. $4.0M revenue represents a 3% year-over-year decline, with product revenue at $3.1M including related party sales. The 48% gross margin and operating expenses of $26.3M led to a substantial net loss of $21.3M. While the company maintains a strong balance sheet with $312M in cash and investments, the aggressive share repurchase program of 3.7M shares at $1.78 per share raises questions about capital allocation during a period of declining revenues.

The partnership with Thermo Fisher Scientific could potentially expand market reach, but current revenue guidance of $13-15M for 2024 suggests near-term growth. The substantial cash burn rate and declining revenues indicate challenges in achieving commercial traction for their proteomics platform, despite the strategic initiatives and partnerships.
