IDXX (IDXX)'s revenue growth is reported year-over-year across the most recent five fiscal years, with the deceleration or acceleration curve called out in the numbers-analysis subsection of the parent financials tab.
The deceleration curve is calibrated by archetype: hyper-growth names get a 5-10 percentage-point-per-year glide path, mature compounders converge to GDP-plus-inflation. Visibility-adjusted deceleration is documented in the assumption ledger.
Where the company reports segments, the segment composition is included in the financials section. The competitive-moat tab covers the qualitative drivers (pricing power, switching costs, distribution).
The parent financials tab carries five years of standardized revenue history. For the longer-term trend, the report's appendix logs data provenance and the source dataset identifier.
