IQVIA Holdings Inc. (IQV) has a Lemma Quality Score of 5.7 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which reads as solid quality. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Ranked with the 212 Healthcare companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 69th percentile, in the upper half of the group, short of the top quarter. For reference, the middle of the group scores 4.4 and a company needs 6.0 to reach its top quarter, which leaves IQVIA Holdings Inc. above the median.
IQVIA Holdings Inc.’s profitability score is 5.3 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 2.7 among 210 Healthcare companies, that is well above the group and the 75th percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
On solvency, IQVIA Holdings Inc. scores 3.2, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 6.5 across 150 Healthcare companies, which places it well below them, at the 13th percentile. A low reading here is a question about resilience: how long the company could keep paying its obligations if earnings dropped.
IQVIA Holdings Inc.’s growth score is 5.0 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.9 among 107 Healthcare companies, that is in line with the group and the 54th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
IQVIA Holdings Inc.’s efficiency score is 7.3 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.0 among 200 Healthcare companies, that is above the group and the 70th percentile. A strong efficiency reading usually shows up as healthy cash conversion: reported profit arriving as real cash rather than staying on the balance sheet.
Predictability scores 8.4 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 207 Healthcare companies is 3.4, so IQVIA Holdings Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 98th percentile. A strong predictability score rewards consistency: revenue and earnings that rarely surprise in either direction.
This is a lopsided profile. Predictability scores 8.4 but solvency only 3.2, a gap of 5.2 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A predictability lead means consistency is the business’s strongest trait, which makes its other readings easier to trust. A solvency shortfall makes the business more exposed to rising rates and to a weak year.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is solvency. If it rose to the median of Healthcare companies, 6.5, IQVIA Holdings Inc.’s overall score would go from 5.7 to about 6.4. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
