CRA International (ISIN US12563P1057) reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 210.82 million, up 12.80 percent from a year earlier, while adjusted EPS reached USD 2.16. The result gives the consulting firm a concrete growth anchor as investors assess its legal, regulatory and management advisory pipeline.

Revenue clears consensus

According to MarketBeat on September 28, 2026, CRA reported Q2 revenue of USD 210.82 million against a consensus estimate of USD 198.91 million. That is a USD 11.91 million beat, or 5.99 percent, and the same source reported adjusted EPS of USD 2.16 versus USD 2.15 consensus.

CRA's investor-relations page identifies Q2 2026 as the latest quarterly earnings period. The finance statements show diluted EPS of USD 2.10 for the quarter ended July 4, 2026, so the adjusted and GAAP measures remain distinct when comparing the result with expectations.

Talent and regulation drive demand

At a September 23, 2026 conference, Investing.com reported management's view that artificial intelligence is increasing demand for specialized advice while improving productivity. The company also said legal and regulatory consulting represents 80.00 percent of revenue, with antitrust and competition economics accounting for 45.00 percent.

The same conference account described talent as the key operating constraint. CRA said its European antitrust and competition economics practice generates more than USD 100.00 million in revenue, linking international expansion to hiring capacity rather than a shortage of client demand.
