ICON (ICLR) shares were down nearly 19% in recent Thursday trading following a Q3 miss and lowered 2024 outlook, likely prompting a rating downgrade by Baird.
Late Wednesday, the company reported Q3 adjusted earnings of $3.35 per diluted share on revenue of $2.03 billion, both falling short of Wall Street's estimates.
For 2024, the company now expects adjusted EPS of $13.90 to $14.10 on revenue of $8.26 billion to $8.30 billion. The previous guidance was of adjusted EPS between $15 and $15.20 and revenue between $8.45 billion and $8.55 billion.
Analysts polled by Capital IQ expect normalized EPS of $15 on revenue of $8.50 billion.
Following the results, Baird downgraded its rating on the ICON stock to neutral from outperform, with a $340 price target.
