USPSTF has apparently reversed its original (bearish) opinion of Cologuard and is now embracing the test:

Why Exact Sciences Stock Is Soaring 33% Today
Shares are rallying after a key new hire, and ahead of an investor conference.
http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=exas&ty=c&ta=1&p=d
What: After announcing recently that management hired a former Baird research analyst in a key role, and a day before presenting at William Blair's 36th annual growth stock conference, shares in Exact Sciences (NASDAQ:EXAS) surged 33% higher today.
So what: Exact Sciences shares are gaining ground, but today's rally follows a significant decline in the company's share price since the launch of Cologuard, the company's colon cancer screening test.
EXAS Chart
EXAS DATA BY YCHARTS.
The company didn't report any news today, but it did announce the appointment of Jeff Elliott to a senior role earlier this month, and management's calendar has been packed with investor conferences that could be factoring into the move higher.
Elliott, a former senior research analyst who covered the diagnostic and lab industries for Baird, is being tasked with identifying and pursuing strategic business opportunities for Exact Sciences, and while management didn't specifically say what opportunities Elliott will be evaluating, it could be that he's pursuing collaborations, licensing, or a business combination.
The company's Cologuard does very good job at screening for colon cancer, but winning reimbursement has been more challenging than expected, and despite a significant increase in screenings, spending continues to significantly outpace revenue. It's possible the hiring of Elliott signals that the C-suite is willing to entertain deals that could take some of the burden off of the company's balance sheet.
Exact Sciences has also been aggressively making its case with investors this month. On June 8, the company was at Goldman Sachs' 37th Annual Global Healthcare Conference, and on June 9, management presented at Jefferies Healthcare Conference. Tomorrow, CEO Kevin Conroy is scheduled to appear at William Blair's 36th Annual Growth Stock Conference in Chicago.
Now what: Sellers were holding 22% of the company's share float short entering today, and given today's move, it wouldn't be surprising if some sellers have decided to cover their positions ahead of tomorrow's presentation.
At this conference, management will probably reinforce the potential for a more than doubling in Cologuard tests and sales this year. Last year, the company completed 104,000 tests, and this year, management expects to complete more than 240,000 screenings. If Exact Sciences completes that many tests, it expects sales will reach at least $90 million, up from $39.4 million last year.
Overall, the potential to provide regular screenings to an increasingly larger and longer-living population of baby boomers has management pegging Cologuard's addressable market at $4 billion. That's undeniably a big market opportunity, but investors might want to temper some of their enthusiasm, because even if the company executes on its sales goals for 2016, it will still lose money. Total operating costs exited Q1 at an annualized $216 million.
Looks like a great day here. Have a good one all..
Flying PreMarket now $12+
The volume here is very very strong - this is not just a random pump. It could be another $EMES - I would actually buy and hold

$EXAS DD Notes ~ http://www.ddnotesmaker.com/EXAS
Here we go :)
Expectations? 15+ would be a wet dream
acts like it. would like to see a close over 9.30-9.40 level
This time through 10$? Decided to hold the biggest part of my shares for more. Looking great today again...
EXAS reports 3Q15 results: #msg-118128203.
Who might be able to give a secure answer...?!? Bottom in thats important to me. Maybe a 20-30% trading range from 7-9,50... Looks nice again today.
what is the short term target?
That was pure irony for me today. Have been on a trip to the states while my sell oder didn't hit at 10$ :(
a bid strange today - sell on good news? Shorts? We're at the very bottom right now imo - nice re entry
I was stuck on a plane at 9:30am and they didn't have WiFi. So mad I couldn't get out when it hit 9.93.
EXAS at 6.88
Back in with a starter position. What a wild ride today!
Thx. To you as well! Gonna add a person mark soon - not possible on my mobile app. Enjoy your day!
Looking good . Thank you for the info and reply. Best of luck
Always remember that last q's #'s need to be refered to a way higher pps. Nice days ahead here imo - reversal 'supported' by short coverage
Missed by a penny eps but beat revs I think that's good
Nice PR, strong close hod with big buys - looking good for a nice finish this week...
I think the cc tomorrow will be better than expected and the shorts are going to lose their shirts. Imo
That a good plan.
Time for some action on both - stock and board :)
Stable bottom, time for reversal
Lol it's so quiet. Not many updates on things
Actually, this board is much more active than it was before the bad news hit on Oct 5 (#msg-117494591).
This is a quiet board isn't it
right Klinsmann,
I wanted to sell in the premarket...but....
before next week bigger investment player are stepping in?
just a guess
Like a magnet - always back down to 8,20...
Stephens Inc upgraded EXAS to over-weight, 10/21/2015. Welcome upgrade transcending recent mischiefs!
That sounds good to me... TY
....next week can produce an explosive chartpicture back over 10 $
Let's see and wait
What is he overall consensus for the full reimbursement being rated A or B. Was this just a formality issue or something more. I hope some guidance will come out next Thursday on the issue. I was watching this stock years ago but it was given FDA approval and I missed that boat. I jumped on it the other day and hope things clear up. Thanks again
