Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) shares surged today, rising $1.55, or 36.70%, to $5.76 by midday, according to Yahoo Finance’s latest news quote. The rally followed news that the genetic-testing company agreed to sell its Prenatal Health testing business to Labcorp for $210 million in cash plus inventory value. The transaction, expected to close by early 2027, includes the Prequel, Foresight, SneakPeek, and FirstGene products; Myriad said the divestiture would improve its overall revenue growth and profitability profile.
