Why VCYT dropped

Veracyte reported Q2 2026 results on July 30 that beat estimates on both revenue and EPS and management raised full-year revenue guidance, yet the stock still cratered the next session; earnings-call commentary highlighted a "Decipher volume reset" (deceleration in its biggest product line) as a going-forward risk, which appears to be what spooked investors despite the headline beat.
