BBSI Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Barrett Business Services Inc is projected to experience robust growth in gross billings, with an anticipated increase of 8.2% year-over-year for Q1 2025, driven by a 6.7% rise in average worksite employees (WSEs) and a 1.5% increase in gross billings per average WSE. The company is expected to benefit from solid demand within its Professional Employer Organization (PEO) services, bolstered by promising prospects in health benefits products. Additionally, the continued growth in net new client WSEs indicates a favorable operational environment that supports sustained financial expansion.
Bears say
Barrett Business Services Inc. faces a challenging outlook, primarily due to seasonal weaknesses in earnings during the first quarter, which are exacerbated by high payroll taxes that negatively impact gross margins. The company's projected earnings per share (EPS) forecast indicates a decline, dropping to -$0.02 compared to the previous year and $0.63 from the last quarter, highlighting a significant deterioration in profitability. Additionally, the expected revenue for Q1/25 at $284.1 million falls 1% short of the FactSet consensus forecast of $286.1 million, indicating potential headwinds in top-line growth.
