Consistent Earnings Beat
IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX) has consistently beaten EPS estimates for the past several quarters, with a recent Q2 2025 surprise of 3.75% (reported $2.96 vs. estimate $2.85). This indicates strong operational execution and effective management.
Reasonable P/E for Growth
The P/E ratio (TTM) of 63.9, while seemingly high, should be considered in context with the company's growth. The annual P/E ratio for 2024 was 37.4, and for 2023 was 52.3, showing a declining trend. Analyzing the P/E to Growth (PEG) ratio would provide further insight, but the current performance suggests the valuation might be justifiable given its earnings trajectory.
High Forward P/E
Quarterly P/E ratios for 2024 are significantly elevated (e.g., Q1 2025 at 139.2, Q4 2024 at 153.8). While trailing P/E ratios are lower, these forward multiples suggest that the market is pricing in substantial future growth, potentially leading to overvaluation if growth expectations are not met.
Slowing Quarterly Revenue Growth
While annual revenue shows growth, quarterly revenue figures show some deceleration. For instance, Q2 2024 revenue was $1.003 billion with a 20.3% net margin, compared to Q1 2025 revenue of $998 million with a 24.3% net margin, indicating potential lumpiness or a slowdown in immediate growth drivers.
