Description: NTRA Natera December 19, 2025
Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) is a global molecular diagnostics firm that commercializes a portfolio of DNA-based tests spanning reproductive health, oncology, organ transplantation, and rare-disease screening. Core offerings include Panorama (non-invasive prenatal testing), Signatera (personalized circulating tumor DNA monitoring), and a suite of carrier-screening, pre-implantation genetic testing, and transplant-rejection assays, delivered through a mix of direct sales and partner laboratories. Strategic collaborations with BGI Genomics and Foundation Medicine expand its next-generation sequencing (NGS) capabilities and market reach.
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year show revenue of roughly $1.0 billion, up about 20 % year-over-year, driven primarily by strong growth in the Panorama and Signatera lines. The company maintains an industry-leading gross margin near 80 % and reported cash and short-term investments of approximately $400 million, providing runway for R&D and potential acquisitions. Sector-wide, the NIPT market is projected to expand at a CAGR of ~10 % through 2029, while oncology-focused liquid biopsy adoption is accelerating as payers broaden reimbursement for personalized cancer monitoring.
