Cyclical staffer with a clean balance sheet and 27.9% ROE, but four straight years of revenue decline keep this a hold near $47.

Revenue $1.33B · FY2025

The read

Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~65% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.

Kforce is a high-quality staffing franchise caught in a genuine demand trough. Revenue has now declined four years in a row — from $1.71B in FY2022 to $1.33B in FY2025 (-5.4% YoY) — and net income has compressed harder, from $75.4M to $34.8M (-30.9% YoY), as gross margin slipped to 27.2% (from 27.4%) and SG&A delevered to 23.0% of revenue (from 22.0%). The MD&A is candid about why: a 'persistently weak and largely frozen hiring landscape,' the April 2025 trade-policy disruption, and clients pausing tech spend while they 'assess the implications' of AI on their roadmaps. Flex consultants on assignment — the actual unit volume — fell across both Technology (-4.7%) and FA (-12.8%), and bill rates were essentially flat ($90/hr Tech, +3.9% FA).
