The company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.32, beating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45991661/korn-ferry-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-fy25-results-of-operations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the analyst consensus estimate of $1.26</a>.

The company&#8217;s fee revenue rose 3% year-over-year to $712.0 million in the quarter (4% at constant currency), driven by higher fees in Executive Search and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), though partially offset by a decline in Consulting fee revenue.

Executive Search saw its fee revenue climb to $227.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, marking a 14% increase year-over-year (15% at constant currency).
Driven by increased fee revenue and disciplined cost management, the company&#8217;s adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter reached $121.1 million, with its margin expanding by 70 basis points to 17.0% year-over-year, according to a press release.
The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $1.006 billion, higher than $941.005 million a year ago.
During the quarter, the company also repurchased 232,000 shares of stock for $15.0 million and paid out $25 million in dividends.
Korn Ferry&#8217;s CEO, Gary D. Burnison, said that the company continues to meet its financial and strategic goals despite global economic and political changes. He attributed this success to Korn Ferry&#8217;s diversification strategy and ongoing investments in expanding offerings, which he believes will continue to drive future growth.

Insights From Analysts:
Analysts at BlackRock stated that uncertainty around the economic impact of tariffs and inflation volatility will keep the &#8220;Fed on hold for now.&#8221;
&#8220;Longer term, persistent inflation pressures from tariffs and a tight labor market will likely limit how far the Fed can cut, even if tariff-driven supply disruptions dent growth,&#8221; the BlackRock note stated.
Analysts also anticipated that long-term U.S. bond yields can rise, keeping them &#8220;underweight.&#8221; BlackRock reiterated that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45512310/blackrock-bets-on-inflation-goes-overweight-inflation-linked-bonds-amid-us-fiscal-sustainability-challenge-heres-a-list-of-etfs-investors-can-consider">preferred inflation-linked bonds,</a> &#8220;even if they are yet to reflect long-term inflation pressures.&#8221; 
&#8220;We favor infrastructure equity, like stakes in airports and data centers: its returns are buffered from inflation and it outperforms amid supply constraints and high inflation. Private markets are complex and not suitable for all investors,&#8221; said the note.
Tariffs and any sustained oil price rises from the Israel-Iran conflict could leave other central banks facing weaker global growth, explained experts. &#8220;Should the conflict affect the security of critical trade routes, supply disruptions could add to inflation pressures,&#8221; it added.
&#8220;We think the Fed will keep rates steady as it waits for tariff impacts to materialize. Mega forces keep us overweight U.S. stocks.&#8221;
Ed Yardeni highlighted the latest Summary of Economic Projections, which will be released later today, along with the Fed&#8217;s decision on interest rates.
&#8220;Odds are that its median economic forecasts will show slow economic growth with a slight increase in the unemployment rate and a modest short-term uptick in inflation&#8211;all mostly consequences of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs and now the war between Israel and Iran,&#8221; he said.
Add that &#8220;the SEP is likely to signal a couple of small cuts in the federal funds rate in the coming months. But Powell will certainly reiterate that the FOMC is in no hurry to do so.&#8221;
