IDXX is Resilient During Economic Downturn
Previously, I shared the bearish sentiments of a former director of IDXX on the company’s need for new leadership and innovation. In contrast, one of the top transcripts published last week with a former IDXX senior manager had more bullish sentiments.
This expert believes that IDXX is not economically sensitive based on its experience during the height of COVID.
“I think they would not be hurt at all. I know they’re doing really well. Even during COVID, we experienced the mildest slowdown. I couldn’t even call it a slowdown meal. It was crazy. We made several business initiatives to conserve. Management took a certain percentage cut in their salary to protect the business. The hourly employees took X amount of hours.”

The expert also states that there is a huge shortage of histotech staffing but IDXX has an advantage since veterinary pathology isn’t regulated.
“One of the big challenges is going to be hiring because there is a huge shortage of histotech. That’s really the only one I could think of. They have that advantage because since it’s a vet path, veterinary pathology isn’t regulated. You can hire pretty much anybody and on-the-job train them. They do have a very regimented process for that.”
