ManpowerGroup stock (ISIN US56418H1005) was last at USD 56.28 on the NYSE on October 1, 2026, while the company has set October 15, 2026, for its next quarterly report. ManpowerGroup announced on October 1, 2026, that it will publish third-quarter results before the market opens and hold its webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET.

October 15 sets the next test

The scheduled release gives the stock a clear near-term checkpoint after a profitable second quarter. Management's Q3 2026 guidance calls for adjusted EPS of USD 0.960-1.060, a range that frames the result investors will compare with the latest quarter.

According to MarketBeat on October 2, 2026, ManpowerGroup reported adjusted EPS of USD 0.99 for Q2 2026 against USD 0.96 consensus. Revenue reached USD 4.86 billion versus USD 4.72 billion expected, giving the earnings date a concrete comparison point.

Profit growth outpaced sales

The latest quarter also shows why the earnings release matters beyond the headline revenue figure. Zacks reported that Q2 revenue rose 7.5 percent year over year to USD 4.86 billion, while adjusted EPS increased 26.9 percent to USD 0.99. The same report put gross profit at USD 780.3 million and gross margin at 16.1 percent, down 80 basis points because of business mix changes and the sale of Jefferson Wells U.S.

That mix creates a split signal for October 15. Sales growth provides operating scale, while the lower gross margin means cost control and regional performance remain central to the next earnings reaction.

Consensus stays below the stock

MarketBeat said nine analysts carry a consensus Hold rating, with six Holds and three Buys, and an average 12-month price target of USD 53.50. That target sits below the USD 56.28 reference price, so the scheduled results must support the current valuation rather than merely meet the prior quarter's beat.

ManpowerGroup stock remains near its yearly high

ManpowerGroup stock stood at USD 56.28 on the NYSE on October 1, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 25.15 to USD 63.88, while market capitalization was USD 2.5 billion as of October 2, 2026.
