Analysis
Korn Ferry, (KFY) currently trades at $84.07, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $114.56, implying the stock looks roughly 36.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Korn Ferry, generated revenue of $2.9B at a net margin of 9.4%. Revenue grew 7.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $504M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $84.51 (bear case) to $143.20 (bull case); at $84.07, the current price sits below 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 near its 52-week high and 44% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 16% fair-value upside, at 36%, KFY 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($128.20) versus Asset-Based ($25.99). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
