A remarkable and well-managed company with outstanding product lines, excellent market share, and sterling stock performance over previous 5 - 7 years. IDEXX water quality testing protocols alone are patented and enshrined within EPA and International standards, which have fairly high barriers to entry and long development timelines - a deep and wide moat if there ever was one. Nevermind the 30.01 P/E (as of July 2007), this company has lots of room to grow, and will.

Idexx is about to introduce
a new blood chemistry testing machine for veterinarians.

Everyone I know is spending oodles of money on their pets from hip replacements, diatetes treatments, cancer treatments, all take high tech diagnostic testing.

Baby boom has dollars to spare and is driving the trend toward more sophisticated treatments of their pets. Vets are glad to
buy the new machines and take the money.

IDEXX will continue to exceed forecasts for the foreseeable future. The largest segment of their business, products and services for the companion animal (dogs and cats) population, thrives in any economic environment. Recently, key acquisitions further strengthening their reference lab business continue to position them for business growth in this segment. Winning additional business for BSE diagnostic test kits (Mad Cow) is gaining more share in that segment. Next year, they will launch another new innovative diagnostic instrument for blood chemistry which will devastate competition in a simliar fashion to what the Lasercyte hematology instrument did a few years back. They do however, need to land some bigger wins in the pharma arena or get out of that business.
