H&R Block (HRB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
H&R Block Inc reported a 5.8% increase in operating income, reaching $371.3 million, which exceeded previous estimates. In the fourth quarter, the company experienced a 4.6% rise in revenues, totaling $1.111 billion, surpassing both internal estimates and the FactSet consensus. This strong financial performance indicates a solid operational footing and potential for sustained growth in the tax preparation market.
Bears say
H&R Block Inc. has revised its adjusted EPS expectations for FY/26 to a range of $4.85-$5.00, which represents a year-over-year growth of only 4.1-7.3%, falling short of the FactSet consensus of $5.15 primarily due to an anticipated increased tax rate of 25%, impacting earnings by approximately $0.19. This projection indicates a vulnerability in financial performance, particularly as the company’s revenue relies heavily on U.S. assisted tax preparation fees, which are subject to unfavorable economic conditions. Additionally, the stock is currently trading at a discount to its five-year average EV/EBITDA, underscoring a lack of investor confidence reflected in a 3% decline year-to-date despite a previous gain of 9% in early 2024.
