Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Medpace's small and midsize biopharma customers are very dependent on outsourced clinical trials since they do not have the capacity to run trials in-house.

Bears

Significant pullbacks in biotech funding or declines in outsourcing penetration rates have a material impact on Medpace's growth.
