Houlihan Lokey (ISIN US4415931009) stock was trading at USD 123.65 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026 at 2:59 p.m. ET, down 3.35 percent from the previous close. The company has scheduled its fiscal 2027 second quarter results for October 28, 2026, after the close of trading, according to Business Wire on October 7, 2026.
October 28 sets the next test
The upcoming release covers the quarter ending September 30, 2026, and management will discuss business performance during a 5:00 p.m. ET conference call, according to Business Wire. The date gives investors a defined checkpoint after a weaker first-quarter operating comparison.
MarketBeat reported that Houlihan Lokey posted adjusted EPS of USD 1.35 for fiscal 2027 Q1, below the USD 1.64 consensus estimate by USD 0.29. Quarterly revenue fell 15.6 percent year over year, making the October report important for judging whether advisory activity is recovering.
Consensus remains above the quote
The valuation picture is mixed. MarketBeat lists a Hold consensus based on 10 analysts, with an average price target of USD 166.38, a low of USD 145.00 and a high of USD 210.00. The average target lies 34.5 percent above the October 7 price of USD 123.65.
Recent analyst actions also point to a divided view. MarketWatch reported that Keefe Bruyette lowered its target from USD 153 to USD 150 on October 7, while UBS raised its target from USD 147 to USD 154 and retained a Hold rating. Those changes leave the earnings release as the clearer near-term test of the business outlook.
HLI remains below its yearly high
HLI's October 7 trading range was USD 121.89 to USD 125.96, while its 52-week range stood at USD 112.83 to USD 204.18. The USD 123.65 quote was 39.4 percent below the 52-week high, leaving operating results and forward commentary as the key variables for the next valuation discussion.
Houlihan Lokey stock was trading at USD 123.65 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026 at 2:59 p.m. ET, with a market capitalization of USD 8.94 billion. The stock's position within its yearly range puts the October 28 results date at the center of the near-term market narrative.
