GAAP Earnings Per Share
$1.23
Revenue
$725.0M

Adjusted EPS Rises. Korn Ferry reported adjusted earnings of $1.28 per share for Q3 fiscal 2026, down 3.8% from $1.33 in the prior quarter and up 7.6% from $1.19 a year ago. The staffing and employment services firm generated net income of $65.3 million on adjusted EBITDA of $123.1 million. The company’s earnings call is scheduled for 12:00 PM ET today.

Revenue slips sequentially. The company posted revenue of $725 million, down 0.7% from $729.8 million in Q2 fiscal 2026 but up 7.2% from $676.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The sequential decline marks a deceleration from the prior quarter’s momentum, though the year-over-year comparison shows continued growth in a challenging labor market environment. Trading volume reached 629,644 shares with the stock closing at $65.08, well below its 52-week high of $78.50.

What to Watch: Management commentary on the 12:00 PM ET earnings call today will be critical—specifically whether the sequential revenue decline signals broader demand weakness in executive search and consulting, or reflects normal seasonal patterns. Any guidance on Q4 fiscal 2026 margins and the pipeline for professional services engagements will determine whether the stock can reclaim its 52-week highs.
