The industry itself · before any single company
How has Consulting Services moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 38% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 2% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 10 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Consulting Services outperforming S&P 500?
Consulting Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 12.8% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 8.4%. 1 of 11 covered companies currently beats the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Forrester Research, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +12.6%.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Verisk Analytics, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Huron Consulting Group Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 11.8%, so level and change sit with different companies. 7 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

Huron Consulting Group Inc.'s growth is 11.8% from a $1,747 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window.

This conclusion weakens if: FTI Consulting, Inc.'s growth falls below Huron Consulting Group Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Consulting Services comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 2 of the 13 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
2 companies have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker.

Which companies are included?
All 13 companies in the canonical Consulting Services membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. 1 of these is no longer being priced, so its price and relative strength are frozen at the last traded week shown.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 13 Consulting Services companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
These 18 answers restate the Consulting Services comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 13 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Consulting Services company is the biggest?
FTI Consulting, Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $3,874 million, ahead of Verisk Analytics, Inc. at $3,103 million. That covers 7 of 13 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Consulting Services company is growing fastest?
Huron Consulting Group Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 11.8% year on year, across 7 of 13 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Consulting Services company has the best profit margins?
Verisk Analytics, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 45%, from 11 of 13 comparable companies. Forrester Research, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +75.7 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Consulting Services company makes the most profit?
Verisk Analytics, Inc. earns the most, at $910 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 8 of 13 comparable companies. FTI Consulting, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 2.3%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Consulting Services company earns the highest return on capital?
Zi Yun Dong Fang Limited leads on return on capital employed at 110.6%, across 13 of 13 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Consulting Services stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated screens cheapest at 0.73×. Only 5 of 13 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Consulting Services company has the strongest balance sheet?
Etoiles Capital Group Co., Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $2 million, from 11 of 13 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Consulting Services company is investing most in new capacity?
