IDXX is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. While the company has shown strong financial performance in its latest quarter, the technical indicators and options data suggest a lack of immediate upward momentum. Analysts have lowered price targets, and there are no significant positive catalysts or recent influential trades to support a strong buy decision. Holding off for clearer signals or a more favorable entry point may be prudent.
