IQVIA's market capitalization stands at USD 47,314 million, and it currently has a price-to-earnings ratio of 29.00. The company has faced pressures reflected in its financial metrics, including a high debt-to-equity ratio of 2.30 and a return on equity of 22.50%. As the stock continues to navigate these dynamics, its recent high marks a significant moment in its trading activity.
