How has Consulting Services moved against S&P 500?

The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 37% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 2% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat. It has been ahead of S&P 500 on a rolling three-month view for 4 weeks running.

Consulting Services, equal-weighted, based at 200 S&P 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

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 11 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.

02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Consulting Services outperforming S&P 500?

Consulting Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 12.6% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 11.5%. 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 +24.1%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

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

Bottom line

Consulting Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 12.6% over 52 weeks and 11.5% over 13 weeks. 1 of 11 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 1 of 11 beat the sector itself. ICF International, Inc. leads with revenue of $1,823 million, based on 4 of 13 comparable companies through Mar 2026.

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.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Verisk Analytics, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 57.8% 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.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Forrester Research, Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +34%. 1 of 11 covered companies is above zero on that measure.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

ICF International, Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 13 Consulting Services companies compared here, at $1,823 million. Resources Connection, Inc. is next at $485 million. Forrester Research, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at -7.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 4 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: ICF International, Inc. is the scale leader at $1,823 million, 275.9% ahead of Resources Connection, Inc.. Forrester Research, Inc.'s growth is -7.3% from a $392 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Gap275.9% versus #2 · Resources Connection, Inc.

Coverage4/13 companies · 190 observations

Investor read: ICF International, Inc. is the scale benchmark; Forrester Research, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: ICF International, Inc.'s growth falls below Forrester Research, 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.

Return On Capital Employed

Zi Yun Dong Fang Limited has the highest ROCE among the 13 Consulting Services companies compared here, at 110.6%. Verisk Analytics, Inc. is next at 10%. Forrester Research, Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +23.4 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 13 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Zi Yun Dong Fang Limited leads ROCE at 110.6%, 100.6 percentage points above Verisk Analytics, Inc.. Forrester Research, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +23.4 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

Investor read: Zi Yun Dong Fang Limited sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated has the lowest PEG among the 13 Consulting Services companies compared here, at 0.73×. ICF International, Inc. is next at 1.42×. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation has the lowest P/E at 9.54×, so level and change sit with different companies. 2 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.73×, 48.6% below ICF International, Inc.. Only 2 of 13 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderSBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated · 0.73×
Gap48.6% versus #2 · ICF International, Inc.
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage2/13 companies · 35 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Consulting Services comparison names 6 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. 1 of the 5 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings. 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.
  • Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.

How was this comparison built?

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 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Consulting Services company comparison FAQs

These 22 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 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Consulting Services sector outperforming S&P 500?

Consulting Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 12.6% over 52 weeks and 11.5% over 13 weeks. 1 of 11 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 1 of 11 beat the sector itself.

Which Consulting Services company is largest by revenue?

ICF International, Inc. leads with revenue of $1,823 million, based on 4 of 13 comparable companies through Mar 2026.

Which Consulting Services company is growing fastest?

Forrester Research, Inc. has the fastest current revenue growth at -7.3%, across 4 of 13 comparable companies.

Which Consulting Services company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Verisk Analytics, Inc. ranks first at 57.8/100 with 57.8% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.

Which Consulting Services company has the lowest comparable PEG?

SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.73, among 2 of 13 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Consulting Services comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

Which Consulting Services company is the biggest?

ICF International, Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $1,823 million, ahead of Resources Connection, Inc. at $485 million. That covers 4 of 13 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

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?

ICF International, Inc. earns the most, at $86 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 5 of 13 comparable companies. SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated has the fastest profit growth at -20%, 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 PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated screens cheapest at 0.73×. Only 2 of 13 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, 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.

Is the Consulting Services sector beating the market?

Consulting Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 12.6% over the last 52 weeks and 11.5% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 1 of 11 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Consulting Services stock has the strongest price momentum?

Forrester Research, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Consulting Services company scores highest for research priority?

Verisk Analytics, Inc. scores 57.8 out of 100 with 57.8% evidence confidence, from 21.4 points on growth and earnings, 17.5 on capital efficiency, 9.8 on valuation and 9.1 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Consulting Services companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 13 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the Consulting Services sector?

The 13 Consulting Services companies on this page carry $65,344 million of combined market value. Verisk Analytics, Inc. is the largest at $25,094 million, about 38% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.

What is the Consulting Services sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 13 Consulting Services companies on this page is 27.6×, measured on the 10 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.

How is the Consulting Services sector performing?

1 of the 11 covered Consulting Services companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 12.6% ahead of S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.

How many Consulting Services stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 13 listed Consulting Services companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
