Minot Light Capital Partners stated the following regarding Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (NASDAQ:LUCD) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (NASDAQ:LUCD): The second biggest detractor in our portfolio this quarter was Lucid Diagnostics. Lucid currently markets an FDA-approved DNA test for the early detection of esophageal precancer and cancer, known as EsoGuard. We believe EsoGuard has a legitimate multi-billion dollar plus market opportunity due to its unique capabilities, outstanding clinical data and attractiveness as a minimally invasive test for nonendoscopic precancer testing. The patient need for this test is large, the company’s clinical data is strong, and it has a unique position in the marketplace. The only thing holding back accelerating adoption has been a lack of reimbursement.
