Hudson Global ( (STRR) ) has provided an update.
Star Equity Holdings reported on March 17, 2026 that 2025 was a transformative year, marked by the August 2025 merger that added Building Solutions and Energy Services and drove strong top-line growth despite a wider net loss. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 rose 69% to $56.8 million and full-year revenue climbed 23% to $172.2 million, while adjusted EBITDA improved to $2.2 million for the quarter and $4.2 million for the year, reflecting better operating performance but also higher corporate costs and cash usage.
Business Services, anchored by Hudson Talent Solutions, saw modest revenue growth in the fourth quarter and flat full-year sales, with regional strength in APAC and the Americas offset by weakness in EMEA and continued macro and talent-market pressures. Building Solutions and Energy Services delivered robust pro forma growth and profitability gains, supporting management’s view that the merger strengthened Star’s financial and strategic position and justifying $2.6 million of share repurchases in 2025, while a large U.S. NOL balance and ongoing preferred dividends remain key features for equity and income investors.
Separately, the company set May 27, 2026 as the date for its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, with March 31, 2026 as the record date for voting eligibility. Because the meeting date is more than 30 days earlier than the 2025 meeting, Star reset the deadlines for shareholder proposals and director nominations, requiring submissions by March 27, 2026 in accordance with SEC rules and its bylaws, a move that clarifies governance timetables for investors.
The most recent analyst rating on (STRR) stock is a Buy with a $16.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hudson Global stock, see the STRR Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on STRR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, STRR is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weak profitability and negative operating/free cash flow, reinforced by a soft technical setup (below key moving averages with negative MACD). Offsetting factors include an improving narrative from the latest earnings call (strong revenue growth, better adjusted earnings/EBITDA, and buybacks) and generally positive post-merger corporate updates, but valuation remains constrained by losses (negative P/E).
