Pre-Market Earnings Report for December 9, 2025 : AZO, FERG, CNM, CPB, OLLI, KFY, ASO, GIII, CGNT, LE, CAL, DBI

Cross Country Healthcare (CCRN) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.03 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.04 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.12 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -25.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this provider of health care staffing and workforce management services would post earnings of $0.07 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.01, delivering a surprise of -114.29%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Cross Country, which belongs to the Zacks Staffing Firms industry, posted revenues of $250.05 million for the quarter ended September 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.45%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $315.12 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once 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.
Cross Country shares have lost about 31.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 16.4%.
What's Next for Cross Country?
While Cross Country 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 Cross Country was unfavorable. 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 #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform 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 the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.05 on $279.41 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.14 on $1.11 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 9% 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.
One other stock from the same industry, Korn/Ferry (KFY), is yet to report results for the quarter ended October 2025.
This staffing company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.30 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +7.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Korn/Ferry's revenues are expected to be $702.98 million, up 4.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Cross Country Healthcare (CCRN) Lags Q3 Earnings and Revenue Estimates

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 iShares Core Dividend ETF (Symbol: DIVB), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $59.13 per unit.
With DIVB trading at a recent price near $51.68 per unit, that means that analysts see 14.42% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DIVB's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Korn Ferry (Symbol: KFY), Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (Symbol: GBCI), and SL Green Realty Corp (Symbol: SLG). Although KFY has traded at a recent price of $64.50/share, the average analyst target is 29.84% higher at $83.75/share. Similarly, GBCI has 23.24% upside from the recent share price of $42.60 if the average analyst target price of $52.50/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting SLG to reach a target price of $62.50/share, which is 19.69% above the recent price of $52.22.

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.
