IQVIA's stock price plummeted 5.33% during intraday trading on Thursday, following the release of its quarterly earnings report and forward guidance.
The sharp decline came despite the company reporting strong fourth-quarter 2025 results that beat analyst estimates for both revenue and adjusted earnings per share. The primary driver of the sell-off was the company's 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $12.55 to $12.85, which fell below the consensus analyst estimate of approximately $12.95. The company cited higher interest expenses from recent financing activities as a key factor weighing on its annual profit outlook.
