CRA (CRAI) witnessed a jump in share price last session on above-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions for the stock doesn't suggest further strength down the road.
CRAI boosts dividends and buybacks amid strong niche demand, but rising costs and a slipping current ratio tighten its liquidity outlook.
I am upgrading CRA International to Buy at ~$180 as improved margins and earnings growth have tipped the balance favorably from risk to reward. Strong demand in Antitrust, Energy, Intellectual Property, and Life Sciences have driven record results in recent quarters, with management reaffirming its bullish 2025 outlook. Also attractive are the 4% total shareholder yield (combining a stable dividend and generous stock buybacks) and a clean balance sheet.
CRAI stock rises 16% in a month, backed by rising earnings, growing dividends, and steady buybacks despite a tight labor market and liquidity concerns.
From a technical perspective, CRA International (CRAI) is looking like an interesting pick, as it just reached a key level of support. CRAI recently overtook the 200-day moving average, and this suggests a long-term bullish trend.
