Key Takeaways NSP's margin recovery improved client mix and benefit pricing, supporting stronger profitability in 2026.HRScale entered the third quarter with nearly 8,000 worksite employees sold, including more than 5,000 live.Insperity is expanding proprietary AI tools to improve client service, productivity and access to insights. Insperity (NSP - Free Report) stock has soared 150.4% over the past six months, outpacing the industry and the Zacks S&P 500 Composite's 71.8% and 12.7% gains, respectively.

Let us delve deeper into the factors that have contributed to the company’s outperformance.

Margin Recovery Plan Pays OffInsperity’s pricing results progressed in tandem with the margin recovery plan. The company recorded lower profitability from client termination than from retention, resulting in a favorable change in client mix. This strategy improved the price and cost matching in its benefits business during the second quarter of 2026.

Benefits cost per covered employee gained 5.2% year over year, consistent with the first quarter and management expectations, with favorable client mix, design changes and the UnitedHealthcare contract, which offset higher healthcare cost trends.

The lowered pooling threshold led to fixed higher premium costs earlier in 2026, with claims reimbursements significantly weighing in the later half of the year. The company’s historical earnings seasonality is expected to decline, with the favorable claim-cost impact turning vivid in the second half of the year.

Paul Sarvadi, the CEO, stated during the recent earnings call that the company is on track to achieve the goals set for margin recovery in 2026 and is laying the groundwork for regaining growth momentum. Achieving these objectives is expected to lay the foundation for balancing growth and profitability in 2027 and delivering shareholder value in the upcoming years.

HRScale: New Growth AvenueHRScale is a vital growth catalyst deployed by the company at a lower upfront investment, reduced time to value and lower ongoing costs compared with a combination of HCM and HR service vendors. The company onboarded beta clients in March and processed payrolls and invoices in April as per schedule. In the first quarter of 2026, the company signed commitments for approximately 6,000 worksite employees to be onboarded within the next six months. 

HRScale’s rollout gained momentum during the second quarter of 2026. The company entered the third quarter with sold HRScale accounts representing nearly 8,000 worksite employees, including more than 5,000 already live and nearly 3,000 undergoing implementations.

Management is bullish on this technology’s ability to expand the company’s addressable market and solidify sales and larger client retention. Following the beta clients going live during the second quarter, HRScale development investment declined to $8 million, suggesting that the offering is moving beyond its initial development stage as the company ramps client implementation and commercial activity.

AI Integration Enhances HR PlatformInsperity is incorporating proprietary AI capabilities into its HR services to improve clients' experiences, raise productivity and accelerate product development. Insperity’s in-house tool is transforming into a scalable enterprise AI platform, laying down a foundation that connects data and business knowledge across the company.

HR360 Agent already assists clients and worksite employees in accessing answers, resources and service support efficiently. The company is expanding its functionality to deliver conversational reporting and swift business insights. Management anticipates that these capabilities will solidify service delivery, enhance productivity and allow clients to access insights at a faster rate.

Zacks Rank & Stocks to ConsiderNSP currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Better-ranked stocks in the broader Zacks Business Services sector include ScanSource (SCSC - Free Report) and Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR - Free Report) , each currently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

ScanSource has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 15%. SCSC delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 7.8%, on average.

Figure Technology Solutions has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 51.7%. FIGR delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 28.2%, on average.

Insperity klesá o 4,1 %, výhled na rok 2026 lepší
NSP Insperity
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Insperity, Inc. (NSP - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 4.1% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Insperity due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.

Insperity Q2 Earnings Beat EstimateInsperity reported impressive second-quarter 2026 results, with earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

NSP reported adjusted earnings of 34 cents per share in the second quarter of 2026, up 31% year over year and surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents by 3.0%. Revenues increased 2% to $1.69 billion and beat the consensus mark of $1.67 billion by 0.5%.

Results benefited from lower operating expenses and progress across the company’s margin recovery initiatives. However, average paid worksite employees, or WSEEs, declined 1% to 305,764, partly offsetting higher pricing and revenue per employee.

NSP Advances Margin Recovery PlanAdjusted EBITDA rose 13% year over year to $36 million. Reported net income improved to $4 million from a loss of $5 million in the prior-year quarter, whereas diluted earnings were 10 cents per share against a loss of 14 cents.

Management said that all three components of its recovery plan contributed to the quarterly results. These included pricing and client retention actions, benefit plan and policy changes, and operating expense management. The company expects the cumulative impacts of these measures to support a significant profit recovery during 2026.

Insperity's Unit Economics Remain PressuredRevenues per WSEE per month increased 3% to $1,838, reflecting higher pricing. Gross billings per WSEE rose to $11,895 from $11,385, while payroll cost per WSEE increased to $10,057 from $9,597.

Despite the pricing gains, gross profit declined 3% to $217 million. Gross profit per WSEE slipped 1% to $237 as benefit costs per covered employee increased 5%. The higher benefit expenses continued to pressure unit profitability, even as pricing helped support top-line growth.

NSP Reduces Expenses & Workday CostsOperating expenses decreased 8% year over year to $211 million. Salaries, wages and payroll taxes declined 11% to $115 million, while stock-based compensation fell 35% to $13 million. These reductions more than offset a 27% increase in advertising expenses to $14 million.

The quarter included $8 million in costs related to Insperity’s strategic partnership with Workday, down from $14 million a year earlier. Lower partnership spending and broader expense discipline helped the company generate operating income of $6 million against an operating loss of $7 million in the prior-year period.

Insperity's 1H Results Stay MixedFor the first six months of 2026, revenues increased 2% to $3.58 billion as revenues per WSEE advanced 3%. Average paid WSEEs declined 1% to 304,407, reflecting continued softness in employee volumes.

First-half adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $139 million, but adjusted earnings declined 10% to $1.64 per share. Gross profit fell 3% to $519 million, while adjusted operating expenses decreased 6% to $442 million. Reported net income declined 20% to $37 million, partly reflecting higher income tax expenses.

NSP Maintains Liquidity While Returning CashInsperity ended June with $95 million of adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, up from $57 million at the end of 2025. In the second quarter, the company borrowed $50 million for working capital purposes, bringing outstanding credit-facility borrowings to $420 million.

Cash outlays during the first six months included $46 million in dividends and $13 million in capital expenditure. NSP also repurchased approximately 172,000 shares for $4 million, maintaining shareholder distributions while continuing to fund operating and technology priorities.

Insperity Sets Q3 & 2026 GuidanceFor the third quarter of 2026, management expects average paid WSEEs of 305,500-307,500, indicating a year-over-year decline of 1.7-2.3%. The adjusted bottom line is projected between a loss of 9 cents and earnings of 41 cents per share, while adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be $14-$41 million.

For 2026, Insperity updated the average paid WSEEs forecast to 305,000-307,000 from the preceding quarter’s view of 303,000-307,000. It marks a decline of 1-1.6% from the 1-2.3% given during the first quarter of 2026.

Adjusted earnings are updated to $1.88-$2.43 per share from the first-quarter 2026 view of $1.6-$2.6, with a revised adjusted EBITDA expectation of $185-$225 million compared with the preceding quarter’s view of $170-$230 million. Management plans to focus on its refined sales approach, HRScale development and artificial intelligence initiatives as it works to restore growth momentum.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?Since the earnings release, investors have witnessed a flat trend in estimates revision.

The consensus estimate has shifted 50% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresAt this time, Insperity has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a B. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a grade of A on the value side, putting it in the top quintile for value investors.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

Outlook Insperity has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerInsperity belongs to the Zacks Staffing Firms industry. Another stock from the same industry, ManpowerGroup (MAN - Free Report) , has gained 19.9% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended June 2026.

Manpower reported revenues of $4.86 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +7.5%. EPS of $0.99 for the same period compares with $0.78 a year ago.

For the current quarter, Manpower is expected to post earnings of $1.01 per share, indicating a change of +21.7% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -1% over the last 30 days.

Manpower has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on the overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions. Additionally, the stock has a VGM Score of B.

NSP roste, ale ocenění a cash flow brzdí další růst
NSP Insperity

Key Takeaways NSP shares surged 30.9% in six months, moving closer to their 52-week high of $57.22.Insperity's adjusted EPS rose 31%, while adjusted EBITDA climbed 13% to $36 million.NSP's 49.04 EV/EBITDA ratio, heavy leverage and negative operating cash flow constrain upside. Insperity, Inc. (NSP - Free Report) has rebounded sharply in 2026, but the recovery has not removed the debate around the stock. Better quarterly profitability, a high dividend yield and favorable growth scores support the bull case.

The offset is just as clear. Valuation has expanded, leverage remains elevated and cash-flow performance is still weak, making fresh upside harder to justify after the rally.

NSP's Rally Has Changed the Risk-RewardNSP shares have gained 30.9% in the past six months and 28.8% over the trailing 12 months. That move has repaired much of the prior damage and pushed the stock closer to its 52-week high of $57.22.

The stronger price raises the burden of proof. Insperity is still rebuilding margins while average paid worksite employees declined 1% year over year in the second quarter to 305,764. In the broader employer-services space, Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP - Free Report) and Paychex, Inc. (PAYX - Free Report) remain relevant comparisons because both offer payroll, human resources outsourcing and professional employer organization services.

Insperity's Valuation Looks StretchedNSP trades at a trailing enterprise value-to-EBITDA ratio of 49.04, well above the sub-industry’s 8.61 and its own five-year median of 15.36. That gap signals that the recent rally has already priced in a large portion of the recovery narrative.

                                                                  Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

The $57 price target also leaves limited room from the reported share price of $54.03. For investors considering a new position, valuation is now one of the clearest constraints.

NSP's Earnings Recovery Offers SupportInsperity reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of 34 cents per share, up 31% year over year and 3% above expectations. Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $36 million, helped by pricing actions, benefit-plan changes and expense control.

Management now expects 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.88 to $2.43 per share, implying a sharp year-over-year recovery. The range is wide, however, and the full-year worksite-employee outlook still calls for a 1.6% to 1% decline.

Insperity's Income Appeal Adds a CushionThe stock offers an annualized dividend of $2.40 per share, translating into a 4.4% yield. That income stream gives investors some cushion while the operating recovery unfolds.

Insperity also has a history of repurchases, but buyback spending has moderated. The company repurchased about 172,000 shares for $4 million in the first six months of 2026, while dividends totaled $46 million, underscoring that capital returns must be balanced against liquidity, borrowing and reinvestment needs.

NSP's Balance Sheet Tempers UpsideLeverage remains a central risk. NSP carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 6.87 and a debt-to-capital ratio of 87.29%, while borrowings under its credit facility stood at $420 million at the end of the second quarter.

Liquidity is not the main concern. Current assets of $1.77 billion exceeded current liabilities of $1.59 billion, and adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased to $95 million from $36 million sequentially. Still, net cash used in operating activities was $19 million in the first six months of 2026, keeping cash-flow quality in focus.

NSP's Scores Point to a Selective SetupThe bottom line is that NSP looks more suitable for patient investors seeking income and a recovery story than for those demanding clean valuation support. The rally has improved sentiment, but it has also reduced the margin of safety.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Its VGM Score of A and Growth Score of A point to favorable combined and growth characteristics, while the Value Score of B is constructive. The Momentum Score of D is the outlier and supports a wait-and-see approach rather than an aggressive buying stance.

Insperity, Inc. (NSP - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.34 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.33 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.26 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.03%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $1.24 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.31, delivering a surprise of +5.65%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Insperity, which belongs to the Zacks Staffing Firms industry, posted revenues of $1.69 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.50%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.66 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Insperity shares have added about 35.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.5%.

What's Next for Insperity?While Insperity has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Insperity was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.22 on $1.63 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.07 on $6.89 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Staffing Firms is currently in the top 40% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Kelly Services (KELYA - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 6.

This staffing company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.24 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -55.6%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Kelly Services' revenues are expected to be $1.01 billion, down 8.4% from the year-ago quarter.
