Cost Synergies And EfficiencyFA expects significant savings from combining back-office functions, eliminating duplicative public company costs, and rationalizing insurance programs.
Financial PerformanceFA remains comfortable reaching the midpoint of its guidance ranges for earnings per share with modest sales growth and a solid EBITDA margin.
Bears Say
Market ConditionsConcerns on cyclicality within the labor market, specifically declining separation and quit rates, are viewed as more important for FA's growth algorithm than openings or payrolls growth.
Sales PerformanceSales remain weak due to sluggish job market turnover.
ValuationShares of FA are currently trading close to our previous price target of $20, and we believe that shares are fairly valued at this time.
