Company Report

Idex Earnings: Full-Year Outlook Maintained After Solid First Quarter

Narrow-moat-rated Idex posted solid first-quarter results, considering headwinds in the life sciences and analytical instrumentation businesses, as its adjusted EPS of $1.88 came in above management’s guidance range of $1.70 to $1.75. While nothing in the earnings release materially alters our long-term outlook, we’ve sightly raised our fair value estimate to $220 from $219 due to time value of money. We view the name as fairly valued at current levels.
