Analysis
The Hackett Group (HCKT) currently trades at $11.53, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $10.28, implying the stock looks roughly 10.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, The Hackett Group generated revenue of $292M at a net margin of 4.8%. Revenue declined 11.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.6%. Net debt stands at $61.3M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $7.19 (bear case) to $12.85 (bull case); at $11.53, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 55% below its 52-week high and 26% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -25% fair-value upside, at -11%, HCKT screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 23 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($10.32) versus Asset-Based ($1.81). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
