I'm sorry for any confusion, but it seems there might be a misunderstanding. I don't have real-time access to databases or the ability to browse the internet for information. However, I can provide you with some general information about how you could research a public company, such as ICON plc, which trades on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the symbol "ICLR" (not "1-circle").

ICON plc is a global provider of drug development solutions and services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. The company is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, and has operations in various locations around the world.

To gather information on ICON plc or any other public company, you can visit the company's investor relations website, which usually contains financial reports, press releases, and other relevant information. Additionally, you can utilize financial websites like Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, or Finviz for a quick overview, including recent financial performance, valuation, and analyst ratings.

For more in-depth research, consider the following:

1. Earnings: You can find earnings reports and financial statements in the company's investor relations website, particularly in the 'Financials' or 'SEC Filings' section. Look for 'Income Statement' or 'Consolidated Statement of Operations' to find historical earnings data. Also, consider the company's quarterly and annual reports (Form 10-Q and Form 10-K respectively) submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

2. Growth: Analyze historical revenue and net income growth rates to understand how the company has performed over time. You can calculate compounded annual growth rates yourself or rely on information from financial websites. Also, consider the company's revenue and earnings guidance for the future.

3. Other financial metrics: Financial ratios such as the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio, price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, return on equity (ROE), and debt-to-equity ratio, can provide insights into a company's valuation, profitability, and financial structure. You can find most of these metrics on financial websites such as Yahoo Finance or Google Finance.

Keep in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct thorough research and, if needed, consult with financial advisors before making investment decisions.
