Analyst Alexander Paris from Barrington maintained a Buy rating on Franklin Covey Company (FC – Research Report) and decreased the price target to $35.00 from $45.00.
Alexander Paris’s rating is based on several key considerations. Despite the recent reduction in Franklin Covey’s full-year guidance due to government contract terminations and uncertain business conditions, the company’s strategic growth investments are viewed as a positive trade-off for future growth and profitability. The current market conditions have led to lower near-term revenue and earnings expectations, but the company is expected to return to growth in fiscal year 2026 and beyond.
Paris maintains an OUTPERFORM rating for Franklin Covey, even though he has reduced the 12-month price target to $35 from $45. This adjustment still represents a 25% upside, suggesting that the current share price offers a buying opportunity. The shares are trading at a discount compared to its Ed Tech peers, which further supports the Buy recommendation. Investors are encouraged to consider this weakness as a chance to establish or increase their positions in anticipation of future growth.
