Alexander Paris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, despite the modest guidance reduction for fiscal 2026. He notes that third-quarter results were broadly consistent with expectations, with revenue growth and improved EBITDA margins supported by disciplined cost control, indicating that the core operations remain solid even as reported figures came in slightly below prior forecasts.
Paris emphasizes that the guidance cut stems from specific, largely temporary issues—including contract timing, a budget-driven adjustment at an education client, and geopolitical pressures—rather than a deterioration in underlying demand. He also highlights that FC shares still trade at a discount to historical EBITDA multiples, and he anticipates a return to revenue and profit growth in fiscal 2027, which underpins his unchanged $30 price target and continued Buy recommendation.
In another report released today, Roth MKM also assigned a Buy rating to the stock with a $25.00 price target.
