Episode Details

CRA Internationals Q1 2026 earnings show a mixed bag: revenue soared, but adjusted earnings fell short. Revenue hit $201M, a 10.5% jump year over year, while adjusted EPS came in at $1.99, missing the $2.02 consensus. Stock dipped 1.15% to $138. Growth came from all angles, with 8 practices posting gains, including double-digit jumps in energy, finance, forensics, and life sciences. North America grew 8.5%, while international ops exploded 20.3%. However, margins squeezed to 9% due to loan amortization spiking 53% and talent costs climbing. CRA took a $2.6M restructuring hit on 22 jobs, aiming for $5M in annual savings. Theyre banking on steady demand in regulatory and M&A work, plus modest rate hikes to lift revenue. Utilization stays in the upper seventies, but macro headwinds could keep margins tight. Keep an eye on project flow, margin rebounds, and Europe momentum.
