IDEXX Labs beats Q3 2026 estimates and lifts FY2026 revenue and EPS guidance

IDEXX Laboratories reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $1.21 billion, up 10% year‑over‑year, and GAAP diluted EPS of $4.01, an 18% increase. Adjusted EPS was $3.96, beating the consensus $3.72. The company raised its full‑year 2026 revenue outlook to $4.74‑$4.77 billion and EPS outlook to $14.96‑$15.16 per share, while trimming its operating‑margin outlook.

The raised guidance expands the revenue and earnings targets for investors, potentially supporting a higher valuation for IDXX (the company said the outlook reflects strong CAG Diagnostics growth). Analysts note that the beat and outlook lift could drive further share price appreciation (Investing.com report of a 6.1% pre‑market jump).
