Analysis

Huron Consulting Group (HURN) currently trades at $152.05, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $136.06, implying the stock looks roughly 10.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Huron Consulting Group generated revenue of $1.7B at a net margin of 6.1%. Revenue grew 12.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 23.3%. Net debt stands at $524M. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $88.19 (bear case) to $170.08 (bull case); at $152.05, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 19% below its 52-week high and 69% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -15% fair-value upside, at -11%, HURN 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.
