IDEXX's guidance for 2026 embeds an assumption of continued ~2% decline in US same-store clinical visits (similar to 2025), citing macro and sector constraints. This suggests the broader veterinary sector is still experiencing weaker demand, which could impact other companies relying on the same end-market. — This signals a prolonged softness in the vet sector, impacting companies like Zoetis (ZTS) and Heska (acquired by Mars) that depend on the same veterinary clinic customer base.

At midpoint, our 2026 organic CAG diagnostic recurring revenue growth outlook incorporates expectations for global net price realization of approximately 4%, reflecting a modestly lower net price realization than 2025. In the U.S., we anticipate net price improvement of approximately 3.5% and have incorporated declines in U.S. same-store clinical visit growth of approximately 2%, similar to the full year 2025, given ongoing macro and sector constraints. These targets incorporate continued solid global growth benefits from IDEX execution and innovation drivers, including new customer gains and increases in testing utilization. The higher end of our CAG diagnostic reoccurring revenue growth outlet captures the potential for improved sector and same-store growth trends, while the lower end of the range calibrates for further potential effects of macro and sector pressures. We're planning for solid placement levels for full year 2026 across our premium instrument install-based categories, including …
Despite soft clinical visits, IDEXX is seeing sustained growth in diagnostics frequency and utilization, particularly for non-wellness visits (60% of visits, 70-75% of diagnostics revenue). This signals a key trend in the sector: while visit counts are flat, the complexity and volume of testing per visit is increasing, leading to resilient diagnostics revenue growth.
Yeah, keep in mind that the non-wellness visits, you know, represent about 60% of the visits, but 70% to 75% of the diagnostics revenue. So this combination of what, you know, Andrew put his finger on, which is they're using more diagnostics when they come in. So we call that frequency. but also it's more intensive, I think is an important factor to keep in mind just through a diagnostic lens.
