ManpowerGroup Inc.’s (MAN - Free Report) shares have appreciated 12% over the past year. The company’s earnings are expected to increase 94.3% in 2021 and 20.2% in 2022, year over year.
The recent acquisition of ettain group has expanded ManpowerGroup’s IT services in the financial and health care sectors, enhancing the company’s diversification in the United States, and increasing its strength in the digital workspace and business transformation practice areas. The company’s Managed Service Provider business remained resilient to the coronavirus crisis, experiencing double-digit gross profit growth in the third quarter of 2021.
While restructuring actions taken in the third quarter will weigh on the top line over the next few quarters, they are expected to help the company shift toward more specialized staffing and an improved margin profile over time in its Mexican business.
ManpowerGroup's cash and cash equivalent balance of $1.61 billion at the end of third-quarter 2021 was well above the long-term debt level of $583 million, underscoring that the company has enough cash to meet its debt burden.
