Expectations This Time Around

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ManpowerGroup’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $4.9 billion, indicating a 3.7% year-over-year decline. The top line is likely to have been weighed down by continued supply chain disruptions and softening of hiring demands in European markets, offsetting the expected strong performance of higher-margin brands.

The consensus estimate for earnings stands at $1.61 per share, implying a 30.9% year-over-year decline. Our estimate indicates a decline of 14.4% year over year. Weaker operating performance is likely to have negatively impacted the bottom line in the quarter.
