SEC XBRL FY 2025 (10-K): 10.6% FCF Margin ($32.4M FCF) & 38.3% Gross Margin
SEC Form 4 / 13F Thermometer: 80% Net Buy • Cannibal Buyback (-2.36% YoY Shares)
Put hedging (50% put share) caps near-term gamma upside (-12 pts vs max)
Even with a 66/100 (C+) score, HCKT faces multiple-compression risk if 24.3x trailing P/E re-rate toward historical sector medians or if hyperscaler/enterprise customer concentration slows in upcoming 10-Q filings.
Broader market pullbacks can still drag down strong stocks in the short run.
Dilution & Margin Drag: Cannibal Buyback (-2.36% YoY Shares) — any gross margin slip below 35.8% triggers an automatic RQD downgrade.
Technical & Forensic Kill-Switch: A daily close below the 50D SMA ($11.16) or 200D SMA ($12.29) invalidates the momentum regime and cuts Target Base ($13.07) toward Bear Floor ($10.19).
Hackett Group Inc . (HCKT) advanced +0.72% to $12.62, trading at 30% of its 52-week range ($9.16 – $20.68). Solid 38% profit margin (15% return on capital), mixed timing at 24x P/E—hold if owned, no rush to chase.
