AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Jul 28, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. IQVIA's Q2 2026 results exceeded the high end of guidance across revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS, driven by accelerating organic growth, record R&D bookings of $3.15B (1.22x book-to-bill), and strong free cash flow, prompting the company to raise full-year 2026 guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS.

Bullish
  • + Organic growth accelerated to 6% year-over-year, roughly three times the prior-year rate.
  • + Free cash flow grew 23.3% year-over-year on strong operating cash flow.
  • + EBP funding of $35B in Q2 was more than double the prior-year quarter, supporting sustained R&D demand.
Bearish
  • − Foreign exchange is now only a ~20 bps tailwind vs. ~100 bps previously assumed, dragging reported growth.
  • − Pass-through revenue growth remains a non-operational margin headwind.
  • − Full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance reconfirmed as flat at ~23.2%, despite operational productivity gains.
  • − Net leverage ratio remains elevated at 3.59x trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA.
