ICLR Price Forecast Based on DCF Valuation

The table below illustrates the output of a discounted cash flow forecast using a variety of scenarios for Icon Plc. To summarize, we found that Icon Plc ranked in the 33th percentile in terms of potential gain offered. We should note, though, that the most conservative analysis suggests this stock will yield negative results -- and thus may be a potential short opportunity. As for the metrics that stood out in our discounted cash flow analysis of Icon Plc, consider:

• Interest coverage, a measure of earnings relative to interest payments, is 33.02; that's higher than 87.88% of US stocks in the Healthcare sector that have positive free cash flow.
• The business' balance sheet reveals debt to be 4% of the company's capital (with equity being the remaining amount). Approximately just 15.74% of US stocks with free cash flow have a lower reliance on debt in their capital structure.
• ICLR's estimated cost of debt, based largely on its market capitalization and its interest coverage ratio, is 3%; for context, that number is higher than 44.44% of tickers in our DCF set.

For other companies in the Healthcare that have a similar discounted cashflow valuation profile (and ensuing price forecasts) as ICLR, try AZN, RMD, JNJ, CRL, and GILD.
