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
Total gross billings increased 3% year-over-year to $2.29 billion in Q2 2026, driven by growth in PEO services from net new worksite employee (WSE) additions and higher average billings per WSE per day, indicating sustained demand for its core offering (SEC 8-K).
PEO services revenue grew 5.1% to $304.1 million in Q2 2026, offsetting a weaker staffing segment and underscoring strength in the higher-margin core Professional Employer Services business (SEC 10-Q).
Management repurchased $15.0 million of common stock in Q2 2026, has $40.3 million remaining under its $100 million authorization, and declared a $0.08 per share quarterly dividend, demonstrating disciplined capital allocation and shareholder return focus (Morningstar).
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue fell to 20.3% in Q2 2026 from 23.8% in Q2 2025, as workers’ compensation expenses rose to 2.5% of gross billings and favorable prior-year adjustments slowed, compressing profitability (Morningstar).
Staffing services revenue declined 18.2% year-over-year in Q2 2026, undermining diversification and exerting pressure on the lower-margin segment of the business (SEC 10-Q).
Net income decreased to $12.9 million ($0.52 per diluted share) in Q2 2026 from $18.5 million ($0.70) a year earlier, reflecting margin pressures and softness in client hiring that could pose downside risk to earnings stability (SEC 8-K).
