The latest update is out from Cra International ( (CRAI) ).
On February 26, 2026, Charles River Associates reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results showing its eighth consecutive year of record annual revenue, with fiscal 2025 revenue up 9.3% to $751.6 million and GAAP net income up 17.4% to $54.8 million. The quarter’s revenue rose 11.6% to $197.0 million, driven by strong contributions from Antitrust & Competition Economics, Energy, Forensic Services, Labor & Employment, and other practices, and the firm returned $60.9 million to shareholders in 2025 through dividends and share repurchases.
Despite higher revenue and record profitability for the full year, fourth-quarter GAAP net income declined 12.0% year over year, while non-GAAP earnings per diluted share edged higher, and non-GAAP EBITDA margin eased slightly. The board underscored confidence in the company’s financial position by expanding the share repurchase authorization by $55 million, on top of $10.9 million remaining, and declaring a $0.57 per-share quarterly dividend payable on March 20, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 10, 2026, moves that reinforce CRA’s shareholder-return strategy amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
The most recent analyst rating on (CRAI) stock is a Buy with a $199.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cra International stock, see the CRAI Stock Forecast page.
