Huron Consulting: Turning Bullish On Growing Margins Prior To Q1 Earnings Release

  • Upgraded Huron to 'Buy' due to strong free cash-flow growth, attractive valuation, and accelerating bullish trend, despite previous concerns over debt-fueled buybacks. Healthcare segment drives growth with 18% RBR increase in Q4 2024 and improved operating profit margins, boosting overall profitability.
