Robert Half wins workplace honor and Robert Half stock stays rated Hold

Robert Half won a 2026 workplace honor after 92 percent of its employees said the company was a great place to work, versus 57 percent at a typical US company, according to StockTitan on October 1, 2026. Robert Half stock carries a Hold consensus and a USD 34.75 average target among 10 analysts, according to MarketBeat on October 6, 2026.
Revenue recovery remains uneven
Robert Half reported USD 1.34 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, down 2.00 percent from the prior-year quarter on a reported basis. Net income per share was USD 0.26, compared with USD 0.41 in the second quarter of 2025, while operating cash flow reached USD 109.0 million, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript dated July 23, 2026.
The operating mix is sending two signals. Talent Solutions delivered its third consecutive quarter of sequential adjusted revenue growth, but Protiviti revenue declined 5.00 percent on an adjusted basis as changes in the US financial services regulatory environment reduced demand for some compliance work.
Third-quarter guidance sets the test
Management guided to third-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 1.31 billion to USD 1.41 billion and income per share of USD 0.43 to USD 0.53. The revenue midpoint of USD 1.36 billion is flat with the same period in 2025 on an adjusted basis, while Talent Solutions is expected to grow 3.00 percent year over year and Protiviti revenue is expected to fall 6.00 percent.
That split matters for valuation. Zacks reported that Robert Half trades at 24.90 times forward 12-month consensus earnings, above the staffing sub-industry at 17.60 times and the company's five-year median of 18.80 times, while 2027 revenue is projected to rise 4.70 percent to USD 5.57 billion.
Prior close frames the market view
The prior close at Lang and Schwarz was EUR 29.90 on October 5, 2026. Market capitalization stood at USD 3.4 billion as of October 6, 2026, while the primary listing is on the NYSE in USD. The valuation debate therefore depends on whether improving Talent Solutions activity can offset Protiviti pressure and the decline in 2026 revenue estimates.
