The coronavirus pandemic has created attractive buying opportunities. Although world markets have somewhat recovered from their March 2020 lows, there are still lucrative opportunities out there. Each weekend, we will attempt to highlight a stock we think has great future\u00a0upside, and could deliver solid returns in the next few months and years. Without further ado, we present you with…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

IDEXX Laboratories, Inc (IDXX)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s start in the healthcare sector with IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX<\/a>). 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<\/a>. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic,\u00a0the stock was extremely affordable. IDXX closed down at $183.29 on 03\/20\/2020. However, the stock has recently surged. IDXX\u00a0hit\u00a0a 52-week high of $407.86 on 07\/31\/2020, after crushing Q2 earnings and estimates<\/a>. IDXX gained +$23.65\/share or 6.32% to close at $397.75. We believe the stock has more room left to run for the long-term buy-and-hold investor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
