IQVIA Holdings stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If IQVIA Holdings's earnings keep growing at the 10.1% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 19.29 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (26.0 to 55.9) that is 500.63 to 1,077.47 a share, or 670.77 at its average P/E of 34.8. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 12.96 | 336.47 | 450.81 | 724.15 |
| FY2027 | 14.16 | 367.70 | 492.66 | 791.37 |
| FY2028 | 15.91 | 413.13 | 553.52 | 889.13 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 17.52 | 454.78 | 609.33 | 978.78 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 19.29 | 500.63 | 670.77 | 1,077.47 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 10.1% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (26.0, 34.8, 55.9).
