H&R Block, Inc. (HRB - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Jun 15, after the bell. The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 9.5%, on average.
Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $2.32 billion, indicating 28.4% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
