Guardant Health, the Palo Alto-based precision oncology company traded on Nasdaq as GH, will publish its third-quarter 2025 financial results after the market close on Wednesday, October 29, and host a live webcast of its conference call at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time (4:30 p.m. Eastern). Company officials said the webcast will be accessible through the “Investors” section of Guardant’s website and will be archived for replay.

Investors and analysts will be parsing the report for several critical indicators: test volumes and product mix across its core Guardant360 liquid biopsy business, revenue growth and margin trends, and any fresh guidance on full-year 2025 expectations. Since diagnostics companies often operate with lumpy revenue and narrow windows for reimbursement clarity, the quarterly update will also be assessed for commentary on payer coverage and pricing dynamics, particularly from Medicare and regional MolDx contractors whose decisions have historically had outsized effects on revenue streams for next-generation sequencing providers.

Guardant operates in a rapidly evolving market for blood-based cancer diagnostics and early detection. Industry forecasts from research firms have repeatedly pointed to elevated growth rates for liquid biopsy markets as adoption expands across metastatic profiling and earlier-stage screening strategies. For Guardant, sustaining double-digit top-line growth while improving operating leverage has been central to investor expectations as the company invests in commercialization, trials, and partnerships to broaden clinical use.

Market participants will also watch cash flow and operating expense guidance. Diagnostics companies that pivoted to heavy investment during earlier commercialization phases have faced pressure to demonstrate margin improvement, and Guardant’s results could influence sentiment across the broader diagnostics group, including peers focused on tumor profiling and early-detection tests. Earnings days frequently drive pronounced stock volatility in this sector as traders and long-term holders reassess revenue cadence against reimbursement assumptions.

Policy developments remain a wildcard. Federal and regional coverage policies for genomic testing and multi-cancer early detection tests can change how rapidly payers reimburse for new technologies. Any management commentary on recent or anticipated Medicare decisions, pricing negotiations with commercial insurers, or progress with coverage pathways could materially affect forward-looking revenue assumptions.

Guardant’s October 29 call will also provide an opportunity for management to update the market on clinical and commercial milestones, including new partnerships, study readouts or regulatory interactions that could underpin longer-term growth. For investors, the immediate focus will be on near-term metrics—test volumes, revenue, margins and cash runway—while longer-term stakeholders will weigh pipeline progress and reimbursement traction as signals of sustained expansion in the precision oncology market.

Market watchers should prepare for the post-close release and the subsequent webcast; archived audio will be posted on Guardant’s investor site for those unable to listen live. The outcome from this quarter will be another data point informing whether the diagnostics sector can convert clinical promise into durable commercial performance amid shifting policy and payer landscapes.
