Heidrick & Struggles: Undervaluation Persists Amid Solid Q1 Results

Summary Heidrick & Struggles reported Q1 results with revenues exceeding analysts' expectations at a year-over-year growth of 10.8%. Despite strong revenue growth, profitability weakened both Y/Y and Q/Q, partly due to one-off cost items but also seemingly due to some softness in Asia. The company anticipates a weaker Q2 revenue outlook due to a choppy macroeconomic environment in especially Europe and Asia. Still, the overall financial outlook seems to be fairly good. The stock continues to be significantly undervalued, and remains a high risk-to-reward investment, in my opinion. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
