11:57 AM EDT, 10/29/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Huron Consulting ( HURN ) remains well-positioned to benefit from "elevated" demand across healthcare, education, and commercial markets as clients increasingly turn to the company to navigate market disruptions and regulatory complexities, Wedbush said in a note Wednesday.

Analysts, including Daniel Ives, said the company reported strong Q3 results, exceeding expectations on both revenue and earnings per share. The company also narrowed its full-year revenue guidance and raised its EPS outlook, supported by solid organic growth across its core markets.

Total revenue was $432.4 million, up 17% year over year, and above analysts' estimates of $420 million. Healthcare segment revenue rose 20% year over year to $219.5 million, the education segment generated revenue of $129.4 million, up 7% year over year and roughly flat compared to the prior quarter, and the commercial segment's revenue before reimbursable expenses reached $83.4 million, a 27% year-over-year increase from $75.4 million in the prior period, the analsysts said.

For the full year, Huron now expects total revenue of $1.65 billion to $1.67 billion, compared to Wall Street's estimate of $1.65 billion. Adjusted EPS is projected to be $7.50 to $7.70, above analysts' estimate of $7.53, reflecting continued margin expansion and a modestly lower tax rate in fiscal 2025, the analysts added.

"The company remains well-positioned to continue monetizing on elevated demand for its entire portfolio as more customers turn to Huron to navigate the market disruption and evolving regulatory landscape across its 3 operating segments," the analysts said.

Wedbush maintains its outperform rating and $165 price target on Huron Consulting ( HURN ). The company's shares rose past 13% in recent trading activity.
