CRA International (CRAI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
CRA Intl is a consulting firm that provides economic, financial, and management consulting services. The company's financials are strong, with revenue growth in 2025 exceeding guidance and increasing 9.3% YOY, and adjusted cash flow from operations increasing to $108.4 million. Despite a 14% YTD 2026 decrease in its stock price, CRA's favorable demand environment and strong performance in its consulting practices, particularly in the Antitrust & Competition Economics practice, support our positive outlook. Additionally, the company's focus on innovation, including the use of artificial intelligence, and its commitment to returning excess capital to shareholders through share repurchases, further reinforce our belief in CRA's strong long-term potential.
Bears say
CRA Intl is facing declining gross margins due to increased forgivable loan amortization, and while its non-GAAP EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2025 was within its guidance range, it was still down from the previous year. Additionally, the company's treatment of forgivable loan amortization and its lack of an add-back to calculate non-GAAP EBITDA may be misleading to investors. Lastly, while the company has a share buyback program in place, it may not be enough to offset the negative impact of declining margins.
