Insperity (ISIN US45778Q1076) was last at USD 46.48 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, down 4.42 percent from the prior session. The move leaves the human resources services provider 16.9 percent below its 52-week high of USD 55.90, while the latest quarterly figures show a sharper contrast between improving profitability and softer workforce volumes.

Quarterly earnings beat consensus

According to Zacks on August 28, 2026, Insperity posted adjusted second-quarter 2026 EPS of USD 0.34, up 31 percent from the prior-year quarter and 3.0 percent above the USD 0.33 consensus estimate. Revenue rose 2 percent year over year to USD 1.69 billion, exceeding the USD 1.67 billion consensus by 0.5 percent.

The underlying mix was less supportive. Average paid worksite employees fell 1 percent year over year to 305,764, while revenue per worksite employee per month increased 3 percent to USD 1,838. Adjusted EBITDA rose 13 percent to USD 36 million, and net income improved to USD 4 million from a USD 5 million loss in the prior-year quarter, according to Zacks.

Guidance narrows the debate

Insperity's adjusted fiscal 2026 EPS guidance stands at USD 1.88-2.43, compared with the first-quarter range of USD 1.60-2.60. The company also set adjusted EBITDA guidance at USD 185-225 million, versus USD 170-230 million previously, according to Zacks.

That guidance makes margin recovery the central operating test. First-half 2026 revenue reached USD 3.58 billion, up 2 percent year over year, while first-half adjusted EPS fell 10 percent to USD 1.64. The comparison shows why higher pricing and expense control must offset weaker employee counts for the earnings range to hold.

Analysts see limited upside

According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, five brokerages give Insperity a Reduce consensus, comprising two sell ratings, two hold ratings and one buy rating. Their average 12-month price target is USD 53.33, with published targets from USD 52 to USD 61; the average target lies 14.7 percent above the October 2 reference price.

The market capitalization stands at USD 1.8 billion, and 459,866 shares changed hands on October 2, 2026, below the average volume of 508,696 shares. The share price remains USD 27.91 above its 52-week low of USD 18.57, giving investors a wide valuation backdrop while the next results cycle approaches.

Insperity stock stays below its yearly high

Insperity stock was last at USD 46.48 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, with a session range of USD 46.22 to USD 49.11. The price, guidance range and analyst consensus put execution on margin recovery ahead of the next earnings update.
