AI Brief

Q3 FY26 earnings call · Oct 22, 2026
Q3 FY26

TL;DR. Talent solutions returned to growth, EPS rose 14%, adjusted operating income and gross margins improved, and fourth-quarter guidance calls for 3% adjusted revenue growth and 30% EPS growth at the midpoint; October trends were positive, and Protiviti is expected to rebound on technology consulting and AML demand. However, Protiviti and nine-month earnings declined, contract volumes remained down, hiring demand stayed selective, and first-quarter margins and tax face seasonal pressure.

Bullish
  • + Talent solutions returned to adjusted year-over-year revenue growth for the first time since 2022, with revenue up 2%, while global enterprise earnings exceeded the midpoint of third-quarter guidance.
  • + Third-quarter EPS rose 14% to $0.49, the first year-over-year quarterly EPS increase since 2022, while the company generated $66 million of operating cash flow, paid a $0.59 per-share dividend and reported 17% return on invested capital.
Bearish
  • − Protiviti's adjusted global third-quarter revenue declined 3%, including a 5% decline in the United States.
  • − Nine-month net income declined to $90 million from $101 million, EPS fell to $0.90 from $1.01, and revenue declined to $3.996 billion from $4.076 billion.
  • − The hiring recovery remained selective amid inflation and geopolitical uncertainty, without the broader recession-clearing event seen in prior cycles.
