Company Report

Idexx's Upcoming New InVue Platform Launch Should Support Growth Into the Long Term

Idexx Laboratories has steadily increased its scale and reach in the veterinary diagnostic lab business to dig a narrow moat. It is well-positioned to benefit from two key trends. First, pet ownership continues to grow, offering a secular tailwind since the late 1980s. Moreover, pet owners have demonstrated greater willingness to spend more on their animals, having more than tripled spending on pet products and services since 1994.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Unlike human healthcare, pet health services and products require cash payments—thereby bypassing the reimbursement issues and pricing pressure associated with third-party payers.

Bears

International sales account for a substantial chunk of Idexx's total revenue; as the U.S. dollar strengthens, Idexx would feel the pain on its top and bottom lines.
