Korn Ferry: More Resilient Yet Cheaper Than Peers
Slow hiring and firing is the name of the game in the US and in Europe, with contract workers first to go in widespread cost-cutting programs among corporates. Korn Ferry is doing its own cost-cutting. Employee productivity seems to be up as EBITDA has grown in the face of revenue declines. KFY is less exposed to the European hiring market, where peers have been issuing profit warnings. Yet, KFY trades more cheaply than them.

Korn Ferry: I Struggle To See Upside Potential From Here
I recommend a hold rating for Korn Ferry due to deteriorating demand and the stock trading at its historical average valuation. KFY's recent financial performance shows mixed results with declining revenue but improved profit margins, driven by cost efficiencies. Demand remains weak across most segments, with notable declines in consulting and digital businesses, and management's guidance indicates continued challenges.
