Kforce stock (ISIN US4937321010) was last at USD 52.86 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, down 2.20 percent from the prior close. The company has set October 26, 2026, for its third-quarter results, giving the staffing specialist a clear near-term reporting date.
October 26 is the next checkpoint
According to Business Wire on October 1, 2026, Kforce will release third-quarter results after the market closes on October 26, followed by a conference call at 5:00 p.m. ET. The date follows a second quarter in which revenue and profitability exceeded expectations.
The next report will also test the company's guidance range. Kforce reported adjusted third-quarter EPS guidance of USD 0.71-0.79, a range that places earnings expectations directly against the USD 0.73 adjusted EPS delivered in the second quarter.
Revenue reached USD 349.3 million
For Q2 2026, Kforce generated USD 349.3 million in revenue, up 4.5 percent year over year, while diluted EPS rose to USD 0.73 from USD 0.59 in the comparable quarter. MarketBeat reported that the result exceeded a USD 0.70 consensus EPS estimate and that revenue topped the USD 348.11 million consensus forecast.
The comparison matters because the company is exposed to hiring demand in technology and finance and accounting services. Kforce operates through those two practice areas, connecting businesses with specialized professionals for temporary, permanent and project-based assignments.
Analysts see a USD 60.67 target
MarketBeat said on October 1, 2026, that five analysts held a consensus Hold rating, with an average price target of USD 60.67 and recent targets ranging from USD 59 to USD 63. The average target lies 14.8 percent above the October 2 price.
Recent individual views remain divided. Robert W. Baird raised its target from USD 42 to USD 63 and assigned an Outperform rating on July 28, while Truist Financial raised its target from USD 38 to USD 60 and kept a Hold rating on July 22, according to MarketBeat.
Buyback plan reaches October 28
Kforce also entered a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan on September 15, 2026, allowing share repurchases from September 16 through October 28. The filing states that purchases remain subject to price, market, volume and timing constraints, according to the SEC.
Shares remain below the yearly high
Kforce had a market capitalization of USD 946.7 million and volume of 139,791 shares on October 2, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 24.49 to USD 61.68, leaving the latest price below the yearly high while the October 26 report approaches.
