Analyst projections of the future price of Kelly Services stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Underlying revenue grew 2.3% year on year in Q3, with ETM up 7.7% and SET down only 0.8%. This suggests the core business is returning to growth, even though total revenue remained slightly lower. (GlobeNewswire)
Adjusted EBITDA rose 29.1% year on year to $21.3 million, and its margin expanded by 50 basis points to 2.3%, helped by a better gross-profit rate and cost discipline. That points to improving profitability as demand recovers. (GlobeNewswire)
Talent Solutions revenue grew 11.6% for a third consecutive quarter, with double-digit growth in MSP and RPO. Continued traction in these services could support growth beyond traditional temporary staffing. (StockAnalysis)
Kelly expects full-year revenue to fall by a mid-single-digit percentage, with adjusted EBITDA margin of only 2.6% to 2.7%. Its Q4 revenue outlook was cut to flat-to-1% growth from the mid-to-upper single-digit growth projected earlier, pointing to a fragile recovery. (GlobeNewswire, Kelly Services Inc.)
Education revenue fell 6.4% in Q3 as falling enrolment and school consolidation reduced demand for substitute teachers. That creates a continuing headwind in a business where Kelly had expected a stronger recovery. (Staffing Industry, StockAnalysis)
A large ETM customer cut demand again late in Q3, and Kelly expects the pressure to continue in Q4; the combined effect of the previously disclosed large-customer and federal-government pressures was about 3.1% of revenue. This leaves the recovery vulnerable to decisions by a relatively small group of customers. (GlobeNewswire, StockAnalysis)
