H&R Block (HRB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
H&R Block Inc. reported a 5.8% increase in operating income for the period, reaching $371.3 million, which exceeded previous estimates, indicative of strong operational performance. The company's revenue for the fourth quarter showed a robust increase of 4.6%, totaling $1.111 billion, surpassing both internal projections and broader market expectations. This growth trajectory, particularly within the U.S. market where the majority of its services are concentrated, suggests a favorable outlook for the company’s financial health and competitive positioning.
Bears say
H&R Block is projecting adjusted earnings per share (EPS) in the range of $4.85 to $5.00 for FY/26, which represents a year-over-year growth of only 4.1% to 7.3%, significantly below the FactSet consensus estimate of $5.15 primarily due to an anticipated increase in the tax rate to 25%, compared to 22% in the previous fiscal year. This increased tax burden is expected to negatively impact adjusted EPS by approximately $0.19, contributing to a less favorable financial outlook. Additionally, despite a reduction in Year-to-Date stock value and trading at a discount to historical EV/EBITDA averages, overall market sentiment remains cautious regarding future performance prospects.
