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

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the last six months, IDEXX has been trading below the broader industry. Also, the company’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 is also a concern. On a positive note, IDEXX continues to demonstrate solid growth globally on strong international expansion. Management’s innovation-based global strategy is leading to CAG Diagnostics growth. Notably, IDEXX recently widened its cloud technology portfolio by adding rVetLink.  Solid organic revenue growth along with a raised guidance for 2017 buoy optimism." (10/18/2017)
