Singh’s price target revision followed the company’s fourth-quarter results, prompting the firm to adjust its model. These adjustments incorporate a re-segmentation for the company, as well as a reduction in the forward EBITDA multiple projections, from 14x to 13x. They also take into account the AI-related uncertainties in the near-term.
On February 17, Charles Rhyee from TD Cowen reaffirmed his Hold rating on IQVIA Holdings Inc. (NYSE:IQV) and lowered the price target from $245 to $174. The firm revised its model following the fourth quarter announcements. He acknowledged that while AI poses potential risks to the segment, these are likely to emerge over the long-term. But for now, the impact on CROs remains uncertain.
