Bulls say / Bears say
Adecco delivered a fifth consecutive quarter of growth in Q2 2026, with organic revenue up 5.6%, group market share up 160 basis points and EBITA excluding one-offs up 21% year over year. (Adecco Group)
The core Adecco GBU showed broad geographic strength in Q2 2026, growing 6.6% overall, led by the Americas at 12%, APAC at 10% and EMEA excluding France at 8%. (Adecco Group)
Operational leverage and balance-sheet improvement support earnings upside: Q2 EBITA margin rose 30 basis points to 2.8%, productivity increased 6% and net debt/EBITDA was 0.5x lower than a year earlier. (Adecco Group)
Permanent recruitment remained weak: hiring for permanent roles declined by approximately 7% in both Adecco and LHH during Q1 2026, indicating continued softness in higher-value professional staffing. (Reuters)
Growth remains uneven across the portfolio: in Q2 2026, Akkodis grew only 1% year over year while LHH was flat, leaving much of the group’s momentum concentrated in the core Adecco staffing business. (Adecco Group)
The staffing cycle remains exposed to AI-related employment uncertainty: Adecco’s CEO said some companies were using AI as a justification for cuts linked to weaker performance or restructuring, which could delay client hiring and reduce demand for staffing services. (Reuters)
