What the Analysts think about CRAI
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for CRA International stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of CRA International stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
CRA posted record second-quarter revenue of $210.8 million, up 12.8%, while diluted earnings per share rose 17.3%. It also raised its full-year revenue guidance to $805 million–$820 million, signalling management’s confidence in continued demand. (CRA International Inc.)
Growth is broad rather than resting on one service line: eight practices grew in the quarter, six by double digits, while management consulting revenue rose 25.5% and international revenue grew 32.9%. This spread may help CRA sustain growth if a single practice cools. (CRA International Inc.)
The sales pipeline is replenishing, with project leads and new originations both up at double-digit rates year on year. CRA also won a multi-year engagement to forecast data-centre electricity demand, giving its energy practice a source of work beyond near-term litigation and deal activity. (The Motley Fool)
Costs are growing faster than sales: first-half service costs rose 18.0% against 11.7% revenue growth. First-half net income fell to $24.6 million from $30.1 million a year earlier, showing that strong sales have not yet translated into higher year-to-date profit. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
CRA had $219 million of borrowings against $21.4 million of cash at quarter end, while spending $27.8 million on share repurchases in the quarter. Higher borrowing also contributed to greater interest expense, leaving less balance-sheet flexibility if trading weakens. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Growth depends on adding billable consultants: management said revenue tends to move with headcount and is aiming for mid-single-digit headcount growth. Hiring and onboarding can weigh on utilisation, so recruitment delays or weaker project demand could limit growth or leave more staff underused. (The Motley Fool)
