Key Barrett Business Services News

Here are the key news stories impacting Barrett Business Services this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Sidoti raises multi-year outlook — the firm now models FY2026 EPS of $2.46 and FY2027 EPS of $2.83, both well above the current consensus of $2.00; this upward revision is the most likely driver of the intraday upside as it implies meaningful earnings growth and upside to forward valuation. Sidoti estimates
• Positive Sentiment: Quarterly ramp implied — Sidoti’s quarter-by-quarter forecasts show a recovery after a weak Q1 (see below), with stronger Q2–Q4 2026 and across 2027 (e.g., Q3 2027 at $1.09), suggesting improved margins and seasonality that support higher full-year EPS. Sidoti estimates
• Neutral Sentiment: Sidoti’s FY2025 estimate of $2.14 is modestly above consensus but not a large deviation; the report mostly provides detailed modeling rather than a formal rating change, so its ultimate impact depends on how other analysts and management commentary align. Sidoti estimates
• Negative Sentiment: Near-term risk — Sidoti expects Q1 weakness (Q1 2026 EPS of -$0.08 and Q1 2027 EPS of -$0.02), and Barrett recently posted a slight quarterly EPS and revenue miss; short-term results or conservative guidance could produce volatility despite the stronger multi-year outlook.
