Reason

Barrington analyst Kevin Steinke raised the firm's price target on Charles River Associates to $224 from $212 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares after Q4 adjusted EPS beat the firm's estimate and the consensus and 2025 revenue guidance came in ahead of estimates. The firm's increased target is driven by updated estimates and a slight increase in its valuation multiple assumption, the analyst noted.
