Franklin Covey stock (ISIN US3534691098) was last at USD 17.35 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, after the company reset its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook. The latest quarterly report showed USD 67.8 million in revenue and a 1 percent year-over-year increase, while the guidance change puts execution and cash conversion at the center of the investment case.

Guidance moves lower

According to the Yahoo Finance transcript of the July 1, 2026 earnings call, Franklin Covey revised fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to USD 260 million to USD 267 million. The company maintained adjusted EBITDA guidance at USD 28 million to USD 31 million, narrowing the gap between a softer sales outlook and its cost-control plan.

The pressure came from three quantified factors: USD 2 million of previously invoiced services shifted into fiscal 2027, USD 2 million tied to a delayed education contract, and USD 2 million linked to international conditions. This makes the guidance range more important than the headline quarterly revenue increase.

Quarterly growth has two speeds

For Q3 of fiscal 2026, adjusted EBITDA reached USD 8.3 million, an increase of 14 percent from the prior year, while net income was USD 3.1 million versus a USD 1.4 million loss in the comparable quarter, according to Yahoo Finance. The contrast shows why profitability is currently carrying more weight than reported sales growth.

Subscription and committed-services invoiced amounts increased 17 percent to USD 37 million in the quarter. Deferred revenue reached USD 96 million, up 7 percent year over year, giving the company a contracted base that management expects to convert into future reported revenue.

Consensus stays above the stock

MarketBeat lists a Hold consensus based on four analysts, with two Buy ratings, one Hold rating, and one Sell rating. Its average price target is USD 27.50, while the high and low targets are USD 30.00 and USD 25.00; the average target lies 58.5 percent above the October 5 price.

A separate October 4 update from Simply Wall St kept its fair value at USD 25.00 while shifting attention toward subscription growth, margins, and cash generation. The counter-factor is clear: international weakness and delayed education funding can defer revenue even when contracts remain in place.
