Description: NTRA Natera October 16, 2025
Natera (NTRA) is a global molecular diagnostics firm that leverages next-generation sequencing to offer a portfolio of non-invasive prenatal tests (Panorama, Vistara, Horizon), hereditary cancer and carrier-screening assays (Empower, Anora), and specialty oncology and transplant monitoring tools (Signatera, Altera, Prospera, Renasight). The company also provides the cloud-based analytics platform Constellation and distributes its products through a mix of direct sales, laboratory partners, and collaborations with BGI Genomics and Foundation Medicine.
In FY 2024 Natera reported $1.03 billion in revenue, reflecting a 28 % year-over-year increase driven primarily by strong growth in its prenatal and oncology segments. The firm’s gross margin expanded to 78 % as it scaled its high-margin NIPT assays, while its cash-flow conversion improved to $180 million, underscoring the capital-efficient nature of its SaaS-enabled test platform. Key sector drivers include rising global demand for non-invasive prenatal screening-projected to exceed $5 billion by 2028-and expanding reimbursement for liquid-biopsy oncology tests, which together create a tailwind for Natera’s recurring-revenue model.
