RHI has a decent earnings surprise history. Earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the past four quarters and missed once, the average surprise being 2.1%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Robert Half’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.44 billion, suggesting a year-over-year decrease of 7.9%. We expect continued client caution to have an impact on hiring activity and new project starts in the quarter.
We expect Talent Solutions revenues to be $947.9 billion, implying a 12.5% decline year over year. Our estimate for Contract Talent Solutions is pegged at $837.3 million, down 11.2% from the year-ago quarter. Permanent Placement Talent Solutions revenues are anticipated to be at $110.6 million, indicating a 21% decrease on a year-over-year basis. We expect revenues from Protiviti to be pegged at $490.2 million, increasing marginally year over year.
The consensus mark for the bottom line is pegged at 63 cents per share, indicating a 30% decline from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The decline in revenues is expected to have hurt the bottom line.
