Original source text What PMI Data Says About the NFP Report: 3 Hidden OpportunitiesH&R Block NYSE: HRB reported fiscal 2026 revenue growth of 4.9% and adjusted earnings-per-share growth of 13.9%, as the tax-preparation company cited improved client conversion, retention and demand from more complex filers. For the fiscal year, revenue totaled $3.95 billion, while EBITDA increased 8.3% to $1.06 billion. Adjusted diluted EPS rose to $5.31, compared with the prior year, and adjusted net income was $688 million. Net income from continuing operations was $736 million, or $5.69 per share. Get H&R Block alerts: 3 High-Quality Value Stocks You Should KnowChief Financial Officer Tiffany Mason said revenue growth was led by higher net average charge and company-owned volume in U.S. assisted tax preparation, international revenue growth and continued momentum at small-business platform Wave. Wave posted its second consecutive year of double-digit revenue growth, supported by paid professional-tier subscriptions and higher payments volume. Operating expenses increased 3.6% to $3.04 billion, primarily reflecting higher tax-professional wages, occupancy costs and technology-related expenses. EBITDA margin expanded by 80 basis points during the year. Client Trends and Technology Initiatives 3 Unstoppable Value Stocks You Did Not Expect President and Chief Executive Officer Curtis Campbell said the company maintained share in the assisted tax-preparation category after two years of improving trends. Conversion improved by 200 basis points, which Campbell described as the largest single-year improvement in H&R Block’s recorded history, while client retention increased 190 basis points. Campbell said the company is emphasizing clients with more complex financial needs and higher lifetime value rather than pursuing transaction-oriented volume. The share of H&R Block clients within its target household adjusted gross income range of $50,000 to $200,000 increased to 50% from 38% over the past several years, according to the company. The company also highlighted its “Second Look” offering, which reviews up to three prior years of returns for new clients to identify potential missed opportunities. New clients receiving Second Look returned at a rate more than 600 basis points above clients who did not receive the service, Campbell said. H&R Block has automated the process using newer artificial-intelligence capabilities and is working toward offering it to nearly all new assisted clients. Technology initiatives included the rollout of Sidekick, an AI assistant for tax professionals, and AI Tax Assist for paid do-it-yourself filers. AI Tax Assist supported 4.2 million client interactions during the season and drove nearly twice the engagement recorded a year earlier, Campbell said. Management said it views AI as a tool to enhance professional expertise rather than replace tax professionals. Campbell said higher-stakes and more complex tax situations require “confidence, judgment, and accountability,” and that the company’s strategy is to automate data collection, data entry and other mechanical tasks so tax professionals can focus more on client advice. Advisory Model Expansion H&R Block conducted more than 150 experiments during the tax season, Campbell said, including a pilot in five offices designed to provide a more consultative and advisory client experience. The pilot offices generated higher client satisfaction, greater client belief in the company’s expertise and value, and increased engagement beyond tax season, according to management. Based on those results, the company plans to expand the model to a full designated market area for the 2027 tax season. Investments will include labor and training, tax-preparation and workflow automation, and integration of Wave into the company’s broader small-business strategy, Mason said. The company is also transitioning from seasonal office leadership to a year-round leadership model. Area experience leaders will oversee a small number of offices, develop talent, coach associates and seek to improve consistency in the field. The transition and streamlining of support functions resulted in an approximately $8.3 million severance charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, which is excluded from the company’s outlook. Cash Flow, Capital Returns and Outlook H&R Block generated $756 million of free cash flow in fiscal 2026 and returned $714 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. During the year, the company repurchased and retired about 10.5 million shares, or 7.9% of shares outstanding, for $500 million. The board approved a 10% increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.46 per share. The company expects to repurchase about $400 million in stock during fiscal 2027, subject to market conditions, and had approximately $600 million remaining under its $1.5 billion repurchase authorization. For fiscal 2027, H&R Block forecast: Revenue of $4.11 billion to $4.16 billion. Adjusted EBITDA of $1.11 billion to $1.14 billion. An effective tax rate of approximately 23%. Adjusted diluted EPS of $6.04 to $6.24. Mason said the outlook assumes tax-industry growth will moderate but remain positive, as stable unemployment supports tax filings while slower job growth limits new filings. At the low end of its forecast, H&R Block expects to maintain its assisted-category market share; at the high end, it assumes market-share growth. The company expects to continue taking low-single-digit pricing increases. In fiscal 2026, assisted-channel volume rose 2%, net average charge increased 4.1%, price increased about 3%, and mix contributed about 1%, Mason said. H&R Block also expects to make approximately 100 to 125 opportunistic franchise buybacks during fiscal 2027, compared with 160 in fiscal 2026.

Q4 Expectations From HRBThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $1.12 billion, suggesting a 0.6% rise from fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 actuals. Multiple factors such as strong client retention, increased investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and robust assisted tax preparation demand are collectively expected to have boosted the company’s top line in the June-end quarter of fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from U.S. assisted tax preparation is pegged at $702 million, suggesting a 2.3% year-over-year increase. The consensus estimate for Service revenues is pegged at $1.08 billion, indicating a 3.8% year-over-year rise. High demand for expert-led, technology-enabled tax preparation and operational improvements is likely to have driven the expected growth. HRB’s consistent expansion of its AI capabilities is likely to have positively impacted the top line. The recent expansion of HRB’s AI assistants designed for tax professionals, such as SideKick and AI Tax Assist, is anticipated to have boosted client engagements. The usage of AI to automate the company’s Second Look program, which helps tax professionals review prior-year returns more efficiently, is expected to have improved customer retention. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $2.23 per share, indicating a 1.8% year-over-year decline. We expect increasing investments in AI and rising operational expenses to have impacted the bottom line in the quarter.

Original source text Joel Greenblatt’s Magic Formula ranks stocks on two factors: earnings yield (EBIT divided by enterprise value) and return on capital. It surfaces good companies trading at cheap prices. For retirees, “cheap and high-quality” is only the starting point. Income reliability, drawdown control, and earnings predictability matter as much as a low multiple. Here is a look at how three Magic Formula candidates stack up, ranked from least to most appropriate for a retirement portfolio. 3. Peabody Energy Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU \| BTU Price Prediction) screens as the deep-value, optionality-rich name Greenblatt enthusiasts love. Shares closed most recently at $23.69, with a price-to-book ratio of 0.85 and a forward P/E near 22x. The one-year return of 83.8% reflects renewed enthusiasm for coal tied to AI data-center power demand. The retirement case breaks down on consistency. Q1 FY26 produced an EPS of −$0.26 versus a $0.22 estimate, a −218% earnings surprise, after Centurion mine commissioning issues caused roughly $80 million of damage to the Seaborne Met segment. CEO Jim Grech cited “temporary equipment and roof control challenges.” The $0.075 quarterly dividend has held since Q3 2023. However, the historical record shows cuts from $0.145 to $0.115 during the 2018 downturn and losses from 2015 through 2020. Cyclical coal is a trade, rarely a retirement holding. 2. Molina Healthcare Molina Healthcare (NYSE: MOH) is the classic Magic Formula recovery setup. The managed-care operator trades at a forward P/E of 38x against trailing revenue of $43.1 billion. Shares rebounded 24.5% year to date to $216.04, though that still is 26.6% below year-ago levels. Q4 2025 delivered an ugly adjusted EPS of −$2.75 against a $0.50 estimate, but Q1 2026 turned with reported EPS of $2.35 versus $1.91 expected, a 23.04% beat. CEO Joseph Zubretsky stated: “We believe that the imbalance between rates and trend marks 2026 as a trough year for Medicaid industry margins.” Management guides to at least $5.00 in adjusted EPS for 2026, burdened by Florida contract costs and MAPD underperformance, with embedded earnings above $11.00 by 2027 to 2029. For retirees, the problem is income. Molina pays no dividend, regulatory risk on Medicaid rates is real, and operating cash flow turned negative $535 million in FY2025. It is a value bet on a regulated turnaround that offers no income while investors wait.. 1. H&R Block H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) is the cleanest fit for the Magic Formula and retirement portfolios. The tax-prep franchise trades at a trailing P/E of 6x and forward P/E of 6x, with a return on equity of 67.9% and an operating margin of 43.2%. That combination of a low multiple and high capital returns is precisely what Greenblatt targets. Q3 FY26 results were strong: adjusted diluted EPS of $6.02 beat the $5.77 estimate, revenue of $2.40 billion grew 5.31% year over year, and net income rose 17.51%. Management raised FY2026 guidance to adjusted EPS of $5.10 to $5.20 on roughly $3.91 billion to $3.92 billion in revenue. CEO Curtis Campbell called the quarter “an important inflection point” as the assisted channel gained share for a third consecutive year. Capital return crystallizes the retirement thesis. The quarterly dividend stepped up to $0.42 from $0.375, extending a 60-year streak of consecutive quarterly dividends. The board added an additional $100 million buyback authorization on top of the roughly $700 million remaining under the existing $1.5 billion program. Year-to-date capital returns reached $560.9 million. The dividend held flat through both the 2008 crisis and the 2020 pandemic. With a beta of 0.37 and a 4.7% yield, the volatility profile matches what an income-focused investor needs, though seasonal revenue concentration and AI-native tax competition remain genuine risks. Bringing the Formula Back to Retirement Greenblatt’s framework surfaces all three names as cheap businesses generating real returns on capital. The retirement filter separates them. Peabody is a commodity play masquerading as a value stock. Molina is a regulated turnaround with no income to collect during the wait. H&R Block pairs a high-margin, cash-generative franchise with the longest dividend history in this group and a management team that is actively shrinking the share count. For a retiree using the Magic Formula as a starting point, H&R Block stock survives the second screen.
