Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about IDEXX Laboratories stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "IDEXX continues to demonstrate solid growth globally with strong international expansion. Management’s innovation-based global strategy is leading to its CAG Diagnostics growth. Solid organic revenue growth buoys optimism. Moreover, the company recently expanded its cloud technology portfolio by adding rVetLink to it. IDEXX’s last reported first quarter was also impressive with earnings and revenues growing year over year. The raised 2017 EPS guidance is also encouraging. Notably,  over the last six months, the company has been trading above the broader Medical Instruments industry. On the other hand, IDEXX's high dependence on third-party distributors and intense competition continue to pose threats. Moreover, with growing international expansion, the company's Companion Animal Diagnostics business is likely to suffer from adverse currency fluxes. The stock’s overvaluation also remains a concern." (7/19/2017)
