		<description><![CDATA[We have recently downgraded Navigant Consulting Inc. (NCI) to Neutral from Outperform. Navigant reported strong quarterly results and lifted its full-year guidance. The company’s third-quarter 2011 adjusted earnings per share exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents. The better-than-expected results were driven by increased demand across the company’s key practice areas. Navigant’s total revenue also grew both annually and sequentially. Riding on the opportunities associated with health care reform, Navigant continues to sustain its business momentum as the industry seeks expertise to improve profitability. The acquisitions of EthosPartners Healthcare Management and Paragon Health should support the company in this regard, helping it to achieve its operational goals offer opportunities associated with health care reform. Going forward, management identifies disputes, economics, health care and energy as key areas for long-term ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Navigant Consulting Inc. (NCI) topped both earnings and revenues in its second-quarter 2011 results. Its utilization rate improved substantially. Navigant&#8217;s restructuring activities, construction dispute practice and economics consulting services delivered well in the second quarter. Moreover, the number of active engagements also remained steady. The integration of Ethos Partners in the Healthcare segment also augurs well for the company. Although a huge debt obligation against limited cash flow increases liquidity risk, we believe that the company&#8217;s inorganic expansion will facilitate its long-term growth. Hence, we upgrade the stock from Neutral to Outperform rating. NAVIGANT CONSLT (NCI): Free Stock Analysis Report Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reiterate our Neutral recommendation on Navigant Consulting Inc. (NCI) for the long term, based on its first quarter 2011 earnings, opportunities associated with health care reform and the integration of Ethos Physician Services, partially offset by a restricted consultant utilization rate and inadequate new client growth. Navigant’s first quarter 2011 adjusted earnings per share of 19 cents outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. However, revenue fell short of our expectation. Opportunities associated with health care reform will continue to drive demand higher as regulatory activities in the sector are increasing. Now the industry seeks expertise to improve profitability. The Dispute and Investigative Services division is also improving on strong demand in the field of credit crisis litigation, anti-corruption compliance and investigations. Navigant has been growing inorganically for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[KRN5500 Data Looks Strong On September 8, 2010, DARA BioSciences (DARA) presented positive study results from its phase II dose escalation study with KRN5500 at the 13th World Congress on Pain. The multicenter, placebo-controlled phase II study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KRN5500 for treatment of neuropathic pain in patients with cancer. Management used the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test to compare treatment differences in median changes from baseline in pain scores recorded by patients in a daily diary. Results show: KRN5500 significantly reduced neuropathic pain when compared to placebo (27% vs. 0%; p = 0.03) when looking at best response to treatment regardless of dose or timing. For the best response within 7 days of last treatment given, the difference was in favor of KRN5500, but ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CRA International’s (CRAI) third quarter results were disappointing. The company earned 31 cents per share, significantly down from the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 47 cents. Results were impacted by the ongoing uncertainty of the global recession as clients reduced their spending, while the company continued to experience stalled litigation cases and consulting project delays. Revenue for the quarter was $86.3 million, down from $111.2 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin was 32.9% compared to 33.8% in the year-ago period, reflecting a decrease in revenue. Selling general and administrative expenses were down to $20.0 million from $24.9 million in the year-ago quarter as a result of CRAI’s aggressive cost-control efforts. Operating income for the quarter was $6.2 million, down from $10.2 million the year-ago period. Operating margin declined 190 basis ]]></description>

With businesses in nearly every industry looking for ways to lower non-critical expenses, we expect the business consulting industry to face a challenging operating environment in the near term. OUTLOOK We have a negative outlook for the business consulting services industry, based upon the difficult economic environment facing the companies&#8217; existing and potential customers. Business consulting companies provide a wide range of services to their clients. Typical services include litigation support, business strategy planning, market and demand forecasting, policy analysis and consulting in the areas such as corporate finance, human resources, technology and restructuring.
