IQVIA Holdings Inc. (IQV) made notable news recently, due to factors including earnings growth, share transactions, and expert observations. Despite a 2.5% earnings growth over the past year, the gains haven't translated into positive returns for shareholders. Various investment firms and entities were observed to increase or decrease their stakes in IQVIA. Among them, Van ECK Associates Corp and Vontobel Holding Ltd. scaled their holdings fairly significantly. BTIG recently changed IQV's stock rating to neutral citing sector headwinds.
Favorably, IQVIA's full year 2024 earnings seems to have surpassed expectations. This includes beating their Q4 results both on earnings and revenue fronts. Notably, IQVIA reported a record in free cash flow and strategic advancements. However, analyst outfits like Morgan Stanley and UBS Group have updated their stock forecasts for IQVIA, one bullish and the other bearish.
Pessimistic outlooks have been issued due to reduced near-term prospects in IQV's R&D Solutions.
