Grail's Galleri test detects over 50 cancer types early, potentially saving lives, and is progressing towards FDA approval and broader insurance coverage. The company, a spinoff from Illumina, has significant backing and aims to reduce costs while expanding its market presence and regulatory validation. Despite high cash burn, Grail's strong cash reserves and strategic focus on FDA approval and Medicare reimbursement present substantial upside potential.
Stock spinoffs are a popular corporate strategy for unlocking shareholder value, but one that rarely pays off for investors.

Cancer test maker Grail said on Tuesday it would reduce existing headcount and planned hires for 2024 by about 30%, as part of its restructuring program.
Discovering and developing a cancer drug that can treat many types of the disease can be extremely lucrative. Consider that one such drug, Merck's (NYSE: MRK ) Keytruda, generated $25 billion in revenue for the pharmaceutical giant last year.
Stock spinoffs remain popular with companies wanting to unlock shareholder value. By creating spinoff stocks that will trade independently on the market, corporations believe they can narrow their focus to core operations while the newly public company doesn't get lost in the shuffle of its parent's larger objectives.
