Heidrick & Struggles: A Well-Growing, Defensive 5.8 EV/EBITDA Pick

  • Heidrick & Struggles reported a strong Q1, including broad-based growth across segments and markets. Profitability returned to good growth after a weaker 2024. Macroeconomic uncertainty has surfaced, but Heidrick & Struggles is well-positioned. A strong balance sheet and defensive earnings aid the company. HSII stock remains undervalued. I estimate 68% upside to $72.4.
