Robert Half Inc. (US7703231032) traded at $45.34 on August 31, 2026, after a second-quarter report showed revenue of $1.34 billion and earnings of $0.26 a share. The same report also included a $0.59 quarterly dividend, which puts the annualized payout at $2.36 a share.
Earnings set the tone
The latest quarterly update, reported on July 23, 2026, showed revenue down 2.4% from a year earlier, while EPS matched the $0.26 consensus. That mix matters more than the headline dividend yield because the market is still weighing whether staffing demand can reaccelerate.
MarketBeat's consensus snapshot on August 31, 2026, put the average 12-month price target at $34.75 and the stock's one-year range at $21.83 to $46.70. At $45.34, the share price sat close to that upper band and above the 200-day moving average of $30.69.
Dividend and valuation
The company said the quarterly dividend will be paid on September 15, 2026, with August 25, 2026 as the record date and the ex-dividend date also set for August 25, 2026. On the same snapshot, the market value stood at $4.64 billion and the dividend yield was 5.2%.
That combination leaves Robert Half in a narrow trading zone: the stock is priced for steadier execution, but the latest quarter still showed a 2.4% revenue decline year over year. Investors are now looking for proof that the business can defend margins while demand remains uneven.
What Robert Half sells
Robert Half's staffing and consulting business spans finance, accounting, technology and administrative placements, with its Protiviti consulting arm adding advisory revenue alongside the core recruitment franchise. Those two engines explain why quarterly revenue and placement trends remain the key operating markers.
