Expectations This Time Around
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ManpowerGroup’s revenues for the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $4.7 billion, indicating a 1.4% year-over-year decline. The top line is likely to have been weighed down by the continued softening of hiring demands, offsetting the expected strong performance of higher-margin brands.
The consensus estimate for earnings stands at $1.34 per share, implying a 39.4% year-over-year decline. Weaker operating performance is likely to have negatively impacted the bottom line in the quarter.
