What the Analysts think about BBSI
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Barrett Business Services stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Barrett Business Services stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
New client acquisitions rose 17% year on year, adding about 4,500 worksite employees, while gross billings still grew despite workforce cuts at existing clients. This points to sales momentum and retention helping sustain growth. (StockAnalysis)
Workers’ compensation pricing has begun to improve, and management sees 2026 as the margin low point, with higher prices expected to feed through as clients renew. That creates a potential margin recovery in 2027. (Barrett Business Services, Inc.)
BBSI’s asset-light expansion added about 400 worksite employees in new markets during Q2, while its benefits plans added around 70 clients and more than 2,000 participants. Broader reach and a fuller HR product range could support future client wins and retention. (StockAnalysis)
Hiring weakness among existing clients remains a drag, and BBSI cut its 2026 gross billings and worksite employee growth outlook. If client headcount keeps falling, new wins may not be enough to accelerate growth. (Barrett Business Services, Inc.)
Second-quarter net income fell to $12.9 million from $18.5 million a year earlier. Workers’ compensation costs rose as a share of gross billings, while favourable prior-year claims adjustments shrank to $2 million from $8.8 million, pressuring profitability. (Barrett Business Services, Inc.)
Staffing revenue fell 18.2% year on year in Q2 as existing customers reduced demand. Continued weakness in this segment adds to the challenge of growing beyond the core PEO business. (SEC)
