Erin Wright has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Idexx Laboratories’ strong financial performance and strategic outlook. The company reported a significant earnings per share (EPS) beat for the second quarter, with $3.63 compared to the consensus of $3.30, driven by better-than-expected revenue and profitability. Additionally, Idexx raised its 2025 organic revenue growth guidance, indicating confidence in its future performance.
Another key factor influencing the Buy rating is the company’s projected operating margin expansion and increased EPS guidance for 2025, which surpasses both Morgan Stanley’s and the consensus estimates. The company’s advancements in its IDEXX inVue Dx instrument placements and other innovative diagnostics platforms further bolster its market position. Despite the current challenges in veterinary practice demand, Idexx’s leadership and innovation in the diagnostics market remain strong, supporting the positive outlook for its stock.
