Robert Half reports Q1 EPS 17c, consensus 36c

Reports Q1 revenue $1.35B, consensus $1.41B. “For Q1, global enterprise revenues were $1.352B, down 8% from last year’s Q1 on a reported basis, and down 6% on an adjusted basis. Business confidence levels moderated during the quarter in response to heightened economic uncertainty over U.S. trade and other policy developments. Client and job seeker caution continues to elongate decision cycles and subdue hiring activity and new project starts,” said CEO M. Keith Waddell. “Despite the uncertain outlook, we are very well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities and support our clients’ talent and consulting needs through the strength of our industry-leading brand, our people, our technology and our unique business model that includes both professional staffing and business consulting services”.
