Icf International ( (ICFI) ) has issued an update.

ICF’s board declared on May 7, 2026, a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share payable July 10, 2026 to shareholders of record on June 5, 2026, underscoring ongoing capital returns alongside its operational performance. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported revenue of $437.5 million, net income of $20.5 million and GAAP EPS of $1.12, with margins holding steady despite lower year-on-year revenue, supported by disciplined cost management and a favorable business mix.

Management emphasized that a $12 million revenue shortfall versus expectations stemmed mainly from timing of fixed-price project work for commercial energy and international government clients, which is expected to be recovered over the rest of 2026 and underpins guidance for about 3% full-year revenue growth at the midpoint. Federal revenue rose 8.6% sequentially and international government revenue grew 17.5% year-on-year, while commercial revenue expanded as a share of the mix and contract awards of $450 million, a trailing twelve-month book-to-bill of 1.21 and a $3.4 billion backlog highlighted solid demand and supported the company’s positioning for a return to growth in 2026 after prior federal contract cancellations and slower RFP activity weighed on comparisons.

The most recent analyst rating on (ICFI) stock is a Buy with a $102.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Icf International stock, see the ICFI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ICFI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ICFI is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by solid but recently pressured fundamentals (2025 weakness despite positive cash flow and improving leverage) and mixed-to-weak technicals. Offsetting these are reasonable valuation and constructive 2026 guidance backed by strong non-federal growth and healthy backlog/pipeline, with corporate financing updates modestly supportive.
