Andrew Nicholas has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors including CRA International’s solid financial performance and the potential risks that could impact future growth. The company reported strong second-quarter results with revenue and non-GAAP EBITDA exceeding expectations, and an upward revision of the full-year 2025 outlook. However, despite these positive indicators, Nicholas remains cautious due to prevailing macroeconomic and regulatory uncertainties that could affect the company’s operations.
Another factor influencing the Hold rating is the stable demand for CRA International’s antitrust services, driven by merger-related activities. While the company has raised its revenue guidance and demonstrated strong lead flow activity, the potential for global macroeconomic, business, and political risks remains a concern. Additionally, the slight decrease in headcount year-over-year suggests a cautious approach to growth, further supporting the Hold rating.
In another report released on July 23, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $190.00 price target.
