Frequently asked questions
What is Korn Ferry's stock price?
Korn Ferry (KFY) trades at $75.18, on a P/E of 13.8x and a P/S of 1.4x. Those multiples show what the market is paying for each dollar of earnings and sales, which is the real starting point for judging whether the price is reasonable.
Is Korn Ferry overvalued?
Korn Ferry carries a Smart Value Score of 59/100 (Grade C+), which we rate Hold. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read. On valuation specifically, our conservative DCF puts intrinsic value at $59.58 against the $75.18 price, so on cash flow terms the market is paying a premium for Korn Ferry's growth. The Hold rating reflects that growth and quality, while the DCF flags that the price already assumes a lot.
What is the price target of Korn Ferry (KFY)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $90.25, about 20.0% above the current $75.18. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.
What is the intrinsic value of Korn Ferry (KFY)?
Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $59.58, a -4.8% margin of safety versus today's $75.18. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.
What is Korn Ferry's revenue?
Korn Ferry's trailing twelve-month revenue is $2.96B. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.
Altman Z-Score?
Korn Ferry's Altman Z-Score is 2.50, which places it in the grey zone. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
