Medpace Holdings stock surged 40% in premarket trading after a strong earnings report showed the clinical trials company's recovery. Shares rose 43% to $441.56, marking the company's largest single-day gain on record. The report highlighted the company's growth and turnaround efforts.

Medpace Holdings Inc. (MEDP) saw its stock price surge 40% in premarket trading on Tuesday, July 2, 2025, following the release of its second-quarter 2025 earnings report. The stock reached a record high of $441.56, up from $308.88 at the close of the previous trading day [1].

The earnings report highlighted significant growth and turnaround efforts by the clinical trials company. On a GAAP basis, Medpace's net income for the second quarter of 2025 increased to $90.3 million, or $3.10 per share, from $88.4 million, or $2.75 per share, in the year-ago period. Revenue for Q2, 2025, jumped 14.2% to $603.3 million from $528.1 million in Q2, 2024 [1].

The company also raised its full-year 2025 outlook for the second time, reflecting sustained growth and improving fundamentals. Now, Medpace expects 2025 revenue to range between $2.420 billion and $2.520 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 14.7% to 19.5% compared to 2024 revenue of $2.109 billion. GAAP net income for full year 2025 is now expected to be in the range of $405.0 million to $428.0 million. On a per share basis, net income is projected to be in the range of $13.76 to $14.53 [1].

Analysts were also impressed by Medpace's performance. The company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.10 for the quarter beat analysts' estimates by 3.5%, while revenue of $603.3 million exceeded expectations by 11.3%. The stock traded up 46% to $451 immediately following the results [2].

Looking ahead, Medpace's operating margin and free cash flow margin improved significantly in Q2, reaching 20.9% and 23.6% respectively, up from 19.9% and 19.6% in the same quarter last year. The company's EPS grew at an astounding 36.7% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 20.4% annualized revenue growth [2].

While analysts expect revenue to decline by 2.4% over the next 12 months, the company's strong performance and improving profitability suggest that Medpace is well-positioned to continue its turnaround and growth efforts. The stock's current valuation, with a median 12-month price target of $300.00, offers investors a potential entry point for a long-term investment [3].
