IDXX, with its subsidiaries, "develops, manufactures, and distributes products and services primarily for the companion animal veterinary, livestock and poultry, dairy, and water testing markets worldwide. Learn more about IDEXX Laboratories. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, the stock was extremely affordable. IDXX closed down at $183.29 on 03/20/2020. However, the stock has recently surged. IDXX hit a 52-week high of $407.86 on 07/31/2020, after crushing Q2 earnings and estimates. IDXX gained +$23.65/share or 6.32% to close at $397.75.
