CRA International (CRAI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
CRA International Inc. has demonstrated a robust growth trajectory, with a 9.3% increase in weekly average project lead flow and a 7.7% increase in new project originations year-over-year as reported for Q4/25. The company has successfully increased its fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance multiple times, with its legal and regulatory consulting practices achieving an impressive 14.3% revenue growth in Q4/25, contributing to a significant uplift in overall performance, particularly in key consulting areas such as Antitrust & Competition Economics and Energy. Looking ahead, CRA anticipates revenue growth for fiscal year 2026 in the range of $785-$805 million, reflecting a positive outlook with expected increases of 4.4% to 7.1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.
Bears say
CRA International Inc. is currently facing a negative outlook primarily due to a significant decline in gross margins, which fell 220 basis points year-over-year, exacerbated by increased forgivable loan amortization. The company reported a non-GAAP EBITDA margin of 12.4% in Q4/25, down 150 basis points compared to the previous year, indicating operational challenges despite a stable EBITDA figure of $24.4 million for the quarter. Additionally, a slight decrease in consultant headcount, down 1.0% year-over-year, suggests ongoing portfolio optimization efforts that may further hamper revenue growth in a competitive consulting landscape.
