H&R Block (HRB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
H&R Block Inc. reported a 5.8% increase in operating income, rising to $371.3 million from $350.8 million the previous year, which surpassed internal estimates. Additionally, the company's revenues for the fourth quarter grew by 4.6% to $1.111 billion, exceeding both internal projections and the FactSet consensus. This strong performance in operating income and revenue highlights the company's robust financial health and positions it favorably within the income tax preparation services sector.
Bears say
H&R Block is projecting adjusted earnings per share (EPS) in the range of $4.85 to $5.00 for fiscal year 2026, which represents a year-over-year increase of only 4.1% to 7.3%, and falls short of the FactSet consensus estimate of $5.15. The company's guidance has been adversely impacted by a higher-than-expected tax rate of approximately 25% for FY/26, compared to 22% in FY/25, which management estimates will further reduce adjusted EPS by $0.19. Additionally, the stock is currently trading at a discount to its five-year average EV/EBITDA multiple, suggesting underlying concerns about growth and profitability in the near term.
