Diaceutics is at the exact point where its multi-year transformation from consultancy to scalable data platform begins to translate into profitability, high recurring revenue, and visible operating leverage — yet the market still values it like a services business.
The FY25 Trading Update confirms the inflection: a return to profitability, ARR up 21%, a record £36.8m order book, and 25% revenue growth guided for FY26 with most already contracted. Recurring revenue now represents ~65% of sales with NRR of 109%, creating a clear earnings floor.
DXRX is not a "nice-to-have" tool for pharma — it is the infrastructure required to commercialise precision medicines. Without optimised diagnostic testing, eligible patients are never identified. With 20 years of proprietary data from 2,500+ labs and 600m+ patient records, Diaceutics owns a dataset that is effectively impossible to replicate. This data moat compounds as more pharma and labs join the network.
After a deliberate £8m investment cycle in 2023–2024 to build the platform, data, and US presence, the cost base is now set. As revenue scales, margins expand rapidly. We see this operating leverage as the key driver of value over the next 3–5 years.
At ~3.7x EV/Revenue, the stock is priced as a consultancy, not as a high-margin healthcare data platform with structural growth, embedded customers, and SaaS-like economics.
Our fair value of 293p implies 76% upside. Downside is supported by a debt-free balance sheet, strong cash position, and contracted recurring revenues. Upside is driven by growth, margin expansion, and an inevitable re-rating as the market recognises what Diaceutics has become: critical infrastructure for precision medicine.
