Korn Ferry reported fourth-quarter 2026 results that exceeded Wall Street expectations, with the organizational consulting firm posting adjusted diluted earnings of $1.40 per share against a consensus estimate of $1.38. Revenue came in at $759.8M, marking a 7.0% increase from the $712.0M recorded in Q4 2025.

Executive Search, the company’s flagship business, led performance with $242.0M in revenue. The strength across the company’s consulting segments reflects continued demand for talent advisory and leadership development services as organizations navigate workforce challenges. Estimated remaining fees under existing contracts for the quarter pointed to the firm’s pipeline of committed work.

For the first quarter of 2027, management provided guidance calling for diluted earnings per share between $1.32 and $1.38, with revenue expected to range from $725.0M to $745.0M. The midpoint of the revenue guidance suggests a sequential decline as the company enters what is typically a softer period for professional services.

Wall Street maintains a constructive view on the stock. The company’s ability to deliver consistent growth across its organizational consulting portfolio positions it well within the human capital advisory space.
