ManpowerGroup (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/man#NYSE">MAN</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.30 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.27 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.58 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 2.36%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this staffing company would post earnings of $0.90 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.94, delivering a surprise of 4.44%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Manpower, which belongs to the Zacks Staffing Firms industry, posted revenues of $4.52 billion for the quarter ended June 2024, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.02%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.86 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Manpower shares have lost about 6.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 17.2%.
What&#39;s Next for Manpower?
While Manpower has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Manpower: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.33 on $4.51 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $5 on $18.04 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Staffing Firms is currently in the top 33% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Kforce (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kfrc#NASDAQ">KFRC</a>), is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2024. The results are expected to be released on July 29.
This staffing company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -23.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Kforce&#39;s revenues are expected to be $356.04 million, down 8.5% from the year-ago quarter.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
Considering the legal perspective, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, according to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
In the domain of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their focus to those taking place in the open market, as meticulously outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
