Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the T. Rowe Price Small - Mid Cap ETF (Symbol: TMSL), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $40.49 per unit.
With TMSL trading at a recent price near $35.01 per unit, that means that analysts see 15.64% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of TMSL's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are First Advantage Corp (Symbol: FA), Korn Ferry (Symbol: KFY), and Rhythm Pharmaceuticals Inc (Symbol: RYTM). Although FA has traded at a recent price of $14.50/share, the average analyst target is 32.01% higher at $19.14/share. Similarly, KFY has 18.91% upside from the recent share price of $70.43 if the average analyst target price of $83.75/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting RYTM to reach a target price of $118.36/share, which is 18.11% above the recent price of $100.21. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of FA, KFY, and RYTM:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Look Under The Hood: TMSL Has 16% Upside

Korn Ferry (NYSE:KFY) reported results on September 9, 2025, highlighting strong multi-year consulting engagement growth, record average bill rates of $470 per hour, up 50% from $300 per hour a few years ago, and strategic expansion in interim workforce solutions. Management detailed large, integrated contract wins, increased AI adoption firmwide, and a cautious economic outlook for the Americas versus sustained momentum in Europe and Asia.
Consulting backlog and average bill rates surge at Korn Ferry
The consulting segment’s backlog increased. 42% of the consulting backlog is made up of engagements over $1 million, and clients are shifting toward longer, more comprehensive contracts. Average consulting bill rates now stand at $470 per hour, compared to $300 per hour just a few years ago, reflecting Korn Ferry’s move upmarket and the growing scope of strategic projects.
"When you look at the average look at rate per hour, as an example, you know, that has gone from it's gone up 50% from $300 an hour just a few years ago to now almost $500 an hour, $470 an hour. When you look at the backlog, the backlog is actually increasing in consulting. 42% of that backlog is engagements over a million dollars, and when you look at the new wins, those are also, you know, a good part of them, not the majority, but a good part are over a million dollars."
-- Gary Burnison, CEO
Sustained growth in high-value consulting engagement size and rates demonstrates Korn Ferry’s ability to win large, multi-year enterprise mandates.
Korn Ferry leverages interim and pro search to capture megatrends
Roughly 70% of Korn Ferry's professional search and interim solutions are based in the United States, and Korn Ferry’s acquisition strategy is focused more on international interim opportunities, avoiding lower-margin contingent recruitment. Interim placements align with a growing global trend toward flexible, project-based labor, and Korn Ferry has identified over 1,200 incremental cross-sell client opportunities since integrating its acquired interim businesses.
"On the interim side, what we've learned is that it is number one, why did we gain into it? We got into it because we see a megatrend that's playing out that we continue to think gonna play out even with AI with fractional workers. And so we think that megatrend is something that we should invest into. What we've learned there is that it is very synergistic with our brand. And similar to ProSearch, the opportunity is quite significant outside of The United States. And in fact, when you look at both ProSearch and interim, you would find that, you know, 70% or so of our solution today is in The United States. And there's an enormous market opportunity. I think you would see us on the acquisition side more oriented towards interim than pro search."
-- Gary Burnison, CEO
This strategy positions Korn Ferry to benefit from global workforce changes while defending pricing and brand positioning, thereby diversifying revenue and enhancing cross-segment client penetration.
AI adoption drives efficiency and client offerings at Korn Ferry
Management consolidated approximately 40 AI-focused staff under centralized leadership and is deploying AI tools both internally for process efficiency and externally for client assessment and coaching on AI readiness. The company is investing meaningfully in generative AI (GenAI) but Korn Ferry is focused on driving both efficiency gains and headcount reductions, with the objective to improve backlog delivery rates and unlock capacity.
"we've taken approximately 40 individuals who had been within each of our solution areas working on various aspects of AI, GenAI. We've organized them under a central leader named Brian Ackerman. And Brian is driving the AI, Gen AI usage in the firm. We've taken those roughly 40 people, centralized them. We now have rolled out licenses depending on, you know, your skill level or what your job role is and so on. The licenses may have, some might be more, have more efficacy than others. And we're going through right now and figuring out the impact that the AI Gen AI is gonna have on our work. I guess, where we are today, if you think about AI and Gen AI, it's to me it's our, you know, mantra is human plus AI. So it's really looking at those as efficiency tools. Think where it potentially gets more interesting is with the use of agents ultimately as they will be integrated into workflows, work process. And so the impact of that is obviously something that we're gonna we'll figure out that down the road. I would say that as I look at our workforce scale, Gary mentioned a couple of times on the call, our backlog. Right? So to me, it's not just about how do I look at AI and Gen AI as a way to get our headcount down. But it's also a way is how do I take out some of the menial tasks that folks are doing today and I could take that freed up capacity and use that to deliver the backlog that we have."
-- Bob Rozek, CFO
The deliberate and centralized AI investment enhances Korn Ferry’s ability to scale client solutions and internal operations.
Looking Ahead
Management signaled continued strength for consulting in Europe and Asia, but sustained headwinds in the Americas without major U.S. rate cuts. Korn Ferry expects its pipeline to be increasingly weighted toward larger, integrated, and multi-year mandates. The company did not disclose concrete revenue or earnings guidance for fiscal 2026 or specific AI-related financial targets in the transcript.

Korn/Ferry Q4 25 Earnings Conference Call At 12:00 PM ET

Korn/Ferry (KFY) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.32 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.26 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.26 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 4.76%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this staffing company would post earnings of $1.13 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.19, delivering a surprise of 5.31%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Korn/Ferry, which belongs to the Zacks Staffing Firms industry, posted revenues of $712.05 million for the quarter ended April 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.35%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $690.8 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Korn/Ferry shares have lost about 1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1.7%.
What's Next for Korn/Ferry?
While Korn/Ferry has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Korn/Ferry: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.18 on $671.85 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.65 on $2.71 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Staffing Firms is currently in the bottom 15% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Resources Connection (RGP), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended May 2025.
This consulting company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.03 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -89.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Resources Connection's revenues are expected to be $136.33 million, down 8% from the year-ago quarter.
