The structural read

What price action says about IDXX.

IDXX qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth — down -23.4% from its rolling 252-day high.

Cross-confirmation: also showing 4/5 bearish time frames.

Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.

Broken Stocks stops here — it flags the structure, it doesn't build the upside case. Working out whether IDXX's turn is investable is what our sister tool does: ConvictionEdge — triple-engine conviction research on names showing a recovery signal.

Upstream TFC read: moderate alignment, current phase weekly. Last bar types — daily 2D (red), weekly 2U (green), monthly 2U (green).

Earnings on file: 2026-08-04. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about IDXX

What people ask.

Why is IDXX on Broken Stocks?

IDXX qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -23.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $769.98, set on 2025-11-26 — 253d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.

What does the Recovering badge mean for IDXX?

Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — IDXX is still Amber List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.

Is IDXX a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. IDXX is down -23.4% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.

Is IDXX a buy?

Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.

Where is IDXX trading inside its 52-week range?

At $590.00, IDXX sits 31.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($506.91) to its 52-week high ($769.98). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has IDXX been declining?

The current 23.4% decline accrued over 253d, which annualizes to roughly -33.8% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.

How does IDXX compare to its sector?

There are 153 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 76 Red, 36 Amber, 41 Watch, with 73 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.5% — IDXX's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does IDXX's earnings date affect its tier?

No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-08-04) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
