BBSI Q2 Revenue Misses, Soft Hiring Weighs on Outlook
BBSI sits 58% above its 52-week low of $25.334.
Summary
Q2 revenue of $319.3M came in just below the $321.55M consensus, a slight miss driven by soft client hiring. Net income fell year-over-year to $12.87M as slowing favorable workers' comp claims adjustments offset pricing gains. Management guided 2026 gross billings growth of 3-4% and WSE growth of 2-3%, with gross margin at 2.70-2.75%, reflecting persistent headwinds. The company repurchased $15M in stock and maintained its $0.08 dividend. This follows a Q1 net loss of $14.8M due to a tax charge, and the soft hiring trend suggests the recovery remains uneven.
