Robert Half Inc. (RHI) is anticipated to report a decline in both sales and earnings for 2025, as the job market remains weak. As of April 23, 2025, the company reported $0.17 earnings per share, missing the consensus estimate of $0.36 by $0.19. This marks the second consecutive earnings miss and the third miss in four quarters. The company’s revenues fell by 8% year-over-year to $1.352 billion from $1.476 billion.
Market analysts project continued declines in earnings for 2025, with the Zacks Consensus estimate reduced from $2.02 to $1.78 following recent adjustments. Robert Half’s shares have fallen to a five-year low, down 18.3% over the past five years, while the S&P 500 has gained 101% during the same period. The firm currently has a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 22.7, significantly above the typical value stock threshold of 15.
Despite these challenges, Robert Half maintains a quarterly dividend of $0.59 per share, translating to an annual yield of 5.9%. Investors are advised to monitor the company’s second-quarter results expected in late July for potential signs of recovery.
