[Form 4] IQVIA Holdings Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

IQVIA Holdings Inc. (IQV) – Form 4 insider transaction

Executive Vice President & General Counsel Eric Sherbet exercised 11,870 Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) at an exercise price of $97.20 on 07/23/2025, converting them into an equal number of common shares.

Immediately after the exercise, Sherbet:

• Sold 5,800 shares at a weighted-average $190.05 (range $189.99–$190.18), generating roughly $1.1 million in gross proceeds.
• Disposed of 6,070 shares at $190.10, likely for tax-withholding.

Following the transactions, Sherbet’s direct ownership decreased to 21,108 common shares; all SARs from the 03/01/2021 grant are now fully exercised, leaving zero derivative securities outstanding.

The activity represents a net sale of the entire 11,870 shares obtained through exercise, with no new open-market purchases. While the executive retains a meaningful equity stake (≈$4.0 million at $190), the sale may signal profit-taking rather than incremental confidence.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Full disposal of shares obtained from SAR exercise suggests profit-taking rather than increased long-term commitment.
• Net insider sale of 11,870 shares may be interpreted by investors as a bearish timing signal.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Insider exercised SARs then sold all acquired shares, reducing net ownership – mildly negative sentiment.

The Form 4 shows a classic cashless exercise: Sherbet unlocked ~$1.1 million in value by exercising 11.9k SARs at $97.20 and immediately selling/disposing the same number of shares at ≈$190. Post-trade holdings revert to 21.1k shares, so absolute exposure is unchanged versus pre-exercise, but incremental buying power is not added. Because executives usually retain at least part of exercised shares when bullish, this all-out disposition leans negative, albeit modestly. From a liquidity standpoint, the move adds float but does not alter IQV’s capital position. Impact rating: -1 (slightly negative).
