IQVIA raises 2026 guidance as Q3 revenue rises 8.0% to $4.43 billion

Positive Impact 4 of 5 guidance

IQVIA reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $4,428 million, up 8.0%, and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $3.34, up 11.3% year-over-year. The company raised its full-year 2026 guidance for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, which is the key development for shareholders. The filing also discloses a backlog adjustment of approximately $2.1 billion tied to a review of inactive trials, which the company says does not affect 2026 guidance.
