<p>Amazon solidified its position as the go-to destination for holiday shoppers this year, with consumer spending trends signaling a robust holiday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">season despite economic uncertainties. </a></p>
<p>According to Goldman Sachs&#8217; 2024 Holiday Survey, authored a team of analysts led by <strong>Brooke Roach</strong>, CFA, 35% of U.S. consumers indicated <strong>Amazon.com Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) as their top choice for holiday spending, marking a notable year-over-year (Y/Y) increase, and outpacing other retail giants like <strong>Walmart Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), <strong>Target Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>), and <strong>Costco</strong> <strong>Wholesale Corp. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>).</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Amazon, Walmart Lead, But The Gap Widens</strong></h1>
<p>Amazon and Walmart continue to be the two most preferred retailers during the holiday season.</p>
<p>Walmart, while holding its ground as the second most popular choice, experienced a slight decline in preference, along with Best Buy. Meanwhile, Target and Costco trailed behind but posted modest gains in their share of consumer spending intent.</p>
<p>The shift reflects Amazon&#8217;s growing dominance in online retail, bolstered by early promotional events such as its July and October Prime Days.</p>
<p>These events appear to have captured consumer attention early, with over half of shoppers starting their holiday shopping before Thanksgiving — a trend consistent with previous years.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Online Shopping Remains King</strong></h1>
<p>E-commerce remains the reigning channel for holiday purchases, with more consumers opting to shop online this year compared to 2023. </p>
<p>"Online shopping remains the preferred shopping channel," the report stated. </p>
<p>The survey revealed that 45% of male consumers and 38% of female consumers plan to do the majority of their shopping digitally — a two percentage point increase Y/Y for both groups.</p>
<p>Younger demographics are driving this trend: Over 50% of Gen Z and Millennial shoppers said they plan to complete the bulk of their holiday shopping online, favoring the convenience of digital platforms. </p>
<p>"Electronics saw the largest increase in consumer preference for online shopping compared to last year (+4pts Y/Y), followed by gift cards, media and experiential gifts (all +3pts Y/Y)," Goldman Sachs wrote. </p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Black Friday Is Back in Style</strong></h1>
<p>While early shopping trends are on the rise, Black Friday continues to hold its ground as a pivotal moment in the holiday shopping season. The survey showed a two-point increase in the number of consumers planning to complete their holiday shopping on or before Black Friday compared to last year and an 11-point jump compared to 2019.</p>
<p>This year, the calendar provides an added boost: Black Friday falls five days later than in 2023, giving shoppers additional time to prepare. </p>
<p>Notably, low-income consumers remain the most likely to take advantage of Black Friday deals, emphasizing the importance of sales and promotions in driving their spending decisions.</p>

<p>On Monday, the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services posted final payment determinations for its 2025 Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule.</p>
<p>Included was a final decision related to CMS pricing for <strong>Exact Sciences Corp&#8217;s</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NASDAQ">EXAS</a>) Cologuard Plus, a second-generation test that received FDA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/10/41185292/fda-clears-exact-sciences-next-generation-colorectal-cancer-diagnostic-test" rel="noreferrer noopener">approval in October</a>.</p>
<p>William Blair writes that the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cms.gov/medicare/payment/fee-schedules/clinical-laboratory-fee-schedule-clfs/annual-public-meetings" rel="noreferrer noopener">determinations</a> effectively raise reimbursement by 16% versus the current Medicare rate for the first-generation Cologuard test (to $592 for Cologuard Plus from $509 for Cologuard).</p>

<p>The determination reverses the September preliminary decision but aligns with a proposal made during the public comment period.</p>
<p>The analyst writes that reimbursement for Cologuard Plus will now be calculated based on two components: three times the fee for methylation analysis of Septin-9 ($192 x 3) and the fee for a FIT test ($15.92).</p>
<p>This pricing adjustment is expected to take effect for Medicare volumes when the test officially launches in late first quarter or early second quarter of 2025. Medicare fee-for-service volumes should reflect the new pricing immediately upon launch, with Medicare Advantage following soon after.</p>
<p>The company is also likely to renegotiate commercial contracts for higher pricing, which may gradually roll out over the coming quarters and years.</p>
<p>William Blair reiterates the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EXAS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Outperform rating on the stock.</a></p>
<p>The analyst highlights that the update is a positive outcome for the company, as it simplifies the process of implementing a price increase compared to the more complex advanced diagnostic laboratory test (ADLT) pathway.</p>
<p>From a financial perspective, this decision is expected to support a moderate pricing boost starting in 2025. Based on William Blair&#8217;s estimates, this could add at least 300 basis points to Cologuard's growth rate next year, which is projected to be around 15% overall.</p>
<p>Exact Sciences said it will present 10 abstracts demonstrating the breadth of its Precision Oncology portfolio at the 2024 annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42177702/exact-sciences-advances-breast-cancer-care-with-the-oncotype-dx-test-and-genomic-profiling-researc" rel="noreferrer noopener">scheduled next month</a>.</p>
