Q2 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ManpowerGroup’s revenues for the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $4.5 billion, indicating a 6.9% year-over-year decline. The top line is likely to have been weighed down by revenue softness in North America and Europe and low levels of permanent recruitment activity.

The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.27 per share, implying a 19.6% year-over-year decline. Weaker operating performance is likely to have negatively impacted the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
