IDEXX Laboratories stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for IDEXX Laboratories stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• IDEXX Laboratories's P/E ratio

  IDEXX Laboratories's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 46x.

  That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

• IDEXX Laboratories's PEG ratio

  IDEXX Laboratories's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio comes out to about 3.1405.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in IDEXX Laboratories's expected earnings growth.

• IDEXX Laboratories's EBITDA

  IDEXX Laboratories's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $1.7 billion.

Has IDEXX Laboratories stock ever split?

IDEXX Laboratories's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on June 15, 2015. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your IDEXX Laboratories stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 100% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for IDEXX Laboratories stocks, which in turn could have impacted IDEXX Laboratories's stock price.

For comparison, the market (NASDAQ) average beta is 1. This would suggest that IDEXX Laboratories's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
