IQVIA's stock plummeted 10.51% during intraday trading on Thursday, reflecting broad concerns in the contract research organization (CRO) sector.
The decline follows the company's recent report of elevated cancellations earlier this month. The sector is facing multiple headwinds, including a lighter regulatory touch on clinical trials and the Trump administration's push to lower drug prices, which could reduce demand for research and development services.
These factors have contributed to significant declines across CRO stocks in February, with IQVIA's shares having shed approximately 28% for the month amid the challenging environment.
