Andrii, any opinion as to whether Illumina's Fluent acquisition is also an attempt to figure out what Ultima is doing? Harder to get competitive intelligence when your competitor is privately held!
Thanks for your comment and question. I think the goals of the acquisition are mostly strategic, to expand tech capabilities, know how, get talent onboard, exicting clients, new IP and so on. Getting new competitive information is certainly a good additional opportunity, but I do not think it is the driving force of this deal.
