The Q2 adj EPS guidance of $1.30-$1.40 fell short of $1.45 consensus, driving near-term selling pressure despite a Q1 beat and AMS upside. Stock already moved ~1.8% lower on the news; longer-term upside potential hinges on AMS integration execution and margin expansion.
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Korn Ferry reported Q1 FY2027 results that topped expectations on earnings and revenue, but guided Q2 adj EPS below consensus. The AMS acquisition, closed Sept. 1, adds roughly $650 million in annual fee revenue and could boost growth, albeit with integration risk. The company also raised its dividend by 15% to $2.20 per share, signaling cash-generation strength.
