AI Insight: CRAI Financial Trends

CRA International's Q2 2026 revenue hit a record $201M, but operating cash flow collapsed to -$114M — the worst print in the dataset.

Revenue reached $201M in Q2 2026, up from $168M in Q2 2025 — an 20% year-over-year improvement.

Operating income rose to $27M in Q2 2025 but retreated to $18M in Q2 2026, suggesting margin pressure re-emerging.

Equity has remained range-bound between $192M and $214M across all reported quarters, showing limited book-value accretion.

Operating cash flow swung to -$114M in Q2 2026 from +$40M in Q2 2025 — a severe deterioration requiring close monitoring.

Total debt data is absent across all periods; leverage position remains opaque and is a key unknown for balance sheet assessment.

AI Insight: CRAI Ratio Trends

CRAI's profitability surged to a peak in Q2 2025 but has since retreated sharply, with Q2 2026 margins near cycle lows.

Operating margin peaked at 16.2% in Q2 2025 but fell to 9.0% in Q2 2026, the weakest reading in the dataset.

Q2 has historically been CRAI's weakest quarter (6.6% OpMargin in Q2 2024 vs. Q4 2024's 12.2%) — monitor seasonal recovery.

D/E data is absent for all periods; leverage visibility is zero, leaving balance-sheet risk unquantifiable.

NPM of 5.5% in Q2 2026 is near the Q2 2024 trough of 3.8%; a sustained compression would signal structural margin erosion.
