Research Alert: Iqvia: Encouraging Q1 Results, Eps Guidance Raised Modestly

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:IQVIA reported Q1 2026 revenue of $4,151M (+8.4% Y/Y), led by robust Commercial Solutions growth (+11.6% Y/Y) and steady R&D Solutions performance (+6.2% Y/Y). Adjusted EPS of $2.90 (+7.4% Y/Y) exceeded guidance and beat consensus by $0.08. R&D Solutions bookings were encouraging, in our view, with net new bookings of $2.5B generating a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04x amid what management described as a stabilizing biopharmaceutical market. IQV raised 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $12.65-$12.95 (up $0.10 at the midpoint) while reaffirming revenue and EBITDA guidance. The contracted backlog of $34.2B supports revenue visibility, with $8.9B expected to convert over the next twelve months (+7.6% Y/Y), though EBITDA margin declined to 22.5% from 23.1%. We view mid-to-high single digit growth in forward-looking demand indicators as suggesting continued client momentum, while the company maintained flexibility with $552M in share repurchases and 15% FCF growth to $491M.

Research Alert: Ldos Q1: Revenue Beat And Strong Cash Flow Counter Margin Compression

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:LDOS delivered solid Q1 results with adjusted EPS of $3.13 vs $2.97 prior year, beating consensus by $0.22. Revenue grew 4% Y/Y (+3% organic) to $4.40B, exceeding estimates by $110M, driven by Intelligence, commercial energy infrastructure, and air traffic management demand. The quarter's standout performance was exceptional cash generation, with operating cash flow reaching $301M vs $58M prior year and free cash flow improving to $270M from $36M, delivering 67% conversion driven by solid EBITDA generation and effective working capital management. However, adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 20 bps to 14.0% due to acquisition-related costs. Net bookings of $3.3B resulted in quarterly book-to-bill of 0.8x, though trailing-12-month ratio remained healthy at 1.1x. Total backlog reached $48.4B with funded backlog of $9.6B, representing 4% and 31% Y/Y growth respectively, providing enhanced revenue visibility going forward.
