Insperity reported a significant 35% year-over-year decline in diluted EPS for Q1 2026, alongside a 3% decrease in gross profit. Looking ahead, the company provided weak Q2 2026 guidance, projecting a diluted loss per share between $(0.25) and $0.23, and a substantial year-over-year decrease in adjusted EPS at the low end of the range. This comes as the company implements restructuring charges and a workforce realignment to address margin pressure and reestablish growth momentum. While full-year adjusted EPS guidance shows potential for recovery, the immediate outlook is challenging, indicating ongoing operational adjustments are needed.
