What Happened: According to a Form 4 filing with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000056679/000095017024112627//Archives/edgar/data/56679/000095017024112627/0000950170-24-112627-index.htm">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> on Thursday, BURNISON sold 100,000 shares of Korn Ferry. The total transaction value is $7,315,925.
As of Friday morning, Korn Ferry shares are down by 0.0%, currently priced at $72.07.

Korn Ferry is a United States-based firm engaged in organizational consulting and management recruitment that helps clients fill mid- to high-level management positions. The company's segment includes Consulting; Digital; Executive Search; Professional Search &amp; Interim; and RPO. The company generates the majority of its revenue from the Executive Search segment and Consulting segment. The consulting segment aligns organizational structure, culture, performance, development, and people to drive sustainable growth by addressing four fundamental organizational and talent needs. The Executive search segment helps organizations recruit board-level, chief executive, and other C-suite/senior executive and general management talent to deliver lasting impact.
<h3>Financial Milestones: Korn Ferry's Journey</h3>
Revenue Growth: Korn Ferry's revenue growth over a period of 3 months has faced challenges. As of 31 July, 2024, the company experienced a revenue decline of approximately -3.33%. This indicates a decrease in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to its peers, the revenue growth lags behind its industry peers. The company achieved a growth rate lower than the average among peers in Industrials sector.
Key Profitability Indicators:
<ul>
<li>
Gross Margin: The company maintains a high gross margin of 88.96%, indicating strong cost management and profitability compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): Korn Ferry's EPS is a standout, portraying a positive bottom-line trend that exceeds the industry average with a current EPS of 1.19.
</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: The company maintains a balanced debt approach with a debt-to-equity ratio below industry norms, standing at 0.33.
Analyzing Market Valuation:
<ul>
<li>
Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: Korn Ferry's P/E ratio of 20.53 is below the industry average, suggesting the stock may be undervalued.
</li>
<li>
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: The P/S ratio of 1.35 is lower than the industry average, implying a discounted valuation for Korn Ferry's stock in relation to sales performance.
</li>
<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): With a lower-than-industry-average EV/EBITDA ratio of 10.65, Korn Ferry presents a potential value opportunity, as investors are paying less for each unit of EBITDA.
</li>
</ul>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company's market capitalization is below the industry average, suggesting that it is relatively smaller compared to peers. This could be due to various factors, including perceived growth potential or operational scale.

<h3>Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Insider Decision: GARY BURNISON Offloads $7.32M Worth Of Korn Ferry Stock

Last week&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40748557/job-creation-falls-short-of-expectations-in-august-unemployment-rate-ticks-lower-">jobs report</a> sent the stock market into one of the worst weeks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40756371/september-volatility-returns-as-labor-cools-bets-on-large-fed-rate-cut-bets-intensify-semiconducto"> for Wall Street since the start of the year</a>.
While hiring appears to be weakening, the trend is going in the opposite direction for executive-level positions.
That's according to data shared by headhunting firm Korn Ferry (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KFY#NYSE">KFY</a>) in its latest earnings call.
The talent acquisition service reported a 6% increase in revenue from its executive search arm in North America, as compared to the same period last year. The segment also accounted for 31% of its revenue during the latest quarter, as per earnings documents.
The trend is replicated globally, where the uptick was 3% when taking all territories into account. Korn Ferry is located in 53 countries across North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific and Latin America.
"The level of work that we&#8217;re doing these days in executive search is probably the highest that I&#8217;ve seen," said Korn Ferry CEO Gary Burnison.
A lot of those searches are due to job succession, he added. As an unprecedented number of Americans retire, companies are in dire need of successors for high-level positions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Peak 65</h2>
This year, the U.S. experienced a trend that observers call "peak 65." That means that the number of workers reaching the retirement age of 65 is at the highest it's ever been.
The Alliance for Lifetime Income <a href="https://www.protectedincome.org/peak65/">reports</a> that an average of 11,000 Americans are entering retirement age each day this year. Through 2027, there will be an average of 4.1 million new retirees a year.
This demographic event is driving one of the largest executive renewal trends in U.S. history. And it goes against overall data on unemployment. The Labor Department showed consistent increases since March, with a 0.1% decrease between July and August.
"Over the next two to three years, the United States is probably going to lose 4 million, 5 million workers a year from the last of the baby boom retirements," said Burnison.
Korn Ferry benefits. The firm beat analyst estimates on Thursday for the latest quarter, reporting $682.761 million in sales which beat the consensus of $663.937 million by 2.84%, as per data from Benzinga Pro.
Jobs Data: The U.S. economy added 142,000 nonfarm payrolls in August, an improvement from July, but below economist expectations of 160,000.
And <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40474742/jobs-data-could-be-off-by-1-million-when-labor-department-revises-figures-what-it-means-for-the-fed">a recent revision by the Labor Department</a> found that the jobs market added 818,000 fewer jobs than originally reported in the year leading up to March 2024.
The silver lining is that the recent jobs data has pushed a majority of traders to price in a 25% rate cut in the upcoming FOMC meeting in what one analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/24/09/40750422/fridays-jobs-report-is-the-moment-weve-all-been-waiting-for-economist-says">referred to as "the moment we&#8217;ve all been waiting for"</a>.
Over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40766055/janet-yellen-predicts-soft-landing-for-us-economy-despite-job-growth-concerns-were-not-seeing-meanin">reassured the public of the economy's resilience</a>, despite recent job reports.
"We're seeing less frenzy in terms of hiring and job openings, but we're not seeing meaningful layoffs," said Yellen at a politics and policy event on Saturday.
