ManpowerGroup's (MAN) Q1 Earnings Miss Estimates, Down Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
ManpowerGroupInc.’s (MAN - Free Report) shares slipped 7.2% in yesterday’s trading session in response to the lower-than-expected first-quarter 2023 results reported before the bell.
The company’s guidance didn’t seem impressive too as the expected EPS range of $1.58-$1.68 for the second quarter of 2023 is way below the current Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.78. Constant currency revenues are expected to decline 1-5% year over year.
First-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.61 per share lagged the consensus mark by 0.6% but matched our estimate. The bottom line declined 14.4% year over year, negatively impacted by restructuring costs and foreign currency fluctuations.
Revenues of $4.8 billion missed the consensus mark by 1.3% and our estimate by a slight margin. The top line decreased 7.6% year over year on a reported basis. Revenues decreased 2.2% on a constant-currency (cc) basis.
Experis declined 5% year over year and Talent Solutions declined 1%. Manpower brand decreased 1% year over year.
