Description: HURN Huron Consulting January 13, 2026

Huron Consulting Group Inc. (NASDAQ:HURN) delivers management consulting and managed-services solutions across three primary segments-Healthcare, Education, and Commercial-leveraging a portfolio that spans performance-improvement advisory, digital transformation (including ERP, EHR, AI/automation, and CRM), revenue-cycle outsourcing, and specialized software such as the Huron Research suite for research-administration compliance.

In FY 2023 the firm generated roughly $1.2 billion in revenue, with an operating margin near 13%, reflecting strong demand for its healthcare-value-based-care initiatives, while the education segment faces headwinds from declining enrollment and state-budget cuts. A key sector driver is the accelerating adoption of AI-enabled analytics, which is expanding consulting spend across all three verticals, and macro-economic trends such as rising federal healthcare outlays and corporate digital-transformation budgets continue to underpin growth opportunities.

For a deeper, data-driven assessment of HURN’s valuation dynamics, you may find it useful to explore the company’s profile on ValueRay.
