Questions about IQV
What people ask.
Why is IQV on Broken Stocks?
IQV qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -30.9% from its rolling 252-day high of $247.05, set on 2026-01-09 — 125d ago.
Is IQV a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. IQV is down -30.9% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 125d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. IQV is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is IQV a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is IQV trading inside its 52-week range?
At $170.68, IQV sits 32.1% of the way from its 52-week low ($134.65) to its 52-week high ($247.05). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has IQV been declining?
The current 30.9% decline accrued over 125d, which annualizes to roughly -90.2% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
How does IQV compare to its sector?
There are 182 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 93 Red, 42 Amber, 47 Watch, with 55 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — IQV's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does IQV's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-05-05) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
