In other recent news, Lucid Diagnostics faced a reduction in its stock target by Cantor Fitzgerald due to challenges in obtaining broader reimbursement for its services. Despite the lowered target, the firm continues to recommend the stock with an Overweight rating. The new target figure was calculated using a combination of discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and an enterprise value to calendar year 2025 estimated revenue (EV/CY25E) multiple, which was increased to 6.0x from the previous 3.0x. This premium was justified by Lucid's superior growth rate and its unique product offering. The DCF analysis was probability-adjusted with a 75% chance of success and a 15% discount rate. The total equity value of Lucid Diagnostics was estimated to be around $116 million, which equates to approximately $2.07 per share. This figure, when averaged with the share price implied by the peer revenue multiple of $1.67, resulted in the new $2.00 price target. These are the latest developments in the ongoing analysis of Lucid Diagnostics' financial position.
