Icon plc has launched a new buyback program to repurchase up to $750 million of its shares.
The total value of the authorized share repurchase is now up to $1 billion, the healthcare intelligence and clinical research company said Wednesday.
The new buyback program came as the company reported higher earnings for the fourth-quarter, despite a 1.2% drop in revenue. Chief Executive Steve Cutler said results were in-line with expectation as the company navigates a challenging transition.
