For the current fiscal year, ending in December, analysts expect IDXX to report earnings of $14.54 per share, up 11.2% from $13.08 per share in fiscal 2025. Its EPS is expected to further grow 12.5% year-over-year to $16.35 in fiscal 2027.

IDXX has soared 41.7% over the past 52 weeks, considerably outperforming both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 34.6% return and the State Street Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF’s (XLV) 8.8% uptick over the same time period.

On Feb. 2, shares of IDXX plunged 4.6% despite reporting a strong fourth-quarter 2025 performance that exceeded Wall Street expectations. The company posted revenue of $1.1 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.08, both ahead of analyst forecasts, driven by robust demand for its veterinary diagnostic solutions. However, investor sentiment was dampened by a gross margin of 60.3%, which came in below the 61% consensus estimate.

Wall Street analysts are moderately optimistic about IDXX’s stock, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Among 15 analysts covering the stock, eight recommend "Strong Buy," one indicates a "Moderate Buy,” and six suggest "Hold." The mean price target for IDXX is $753.69, indicating a 29.3% potential upside from the current levels.
