ManpowerGroup: Downgrade To Strong Sell On High Likelihood Of Earnings Miss

  • I am downgrading ManpowerGroup (MAN) to a strong sell due to accelerating revenue decline, poor European macro, and likely negative estimate revisions. 1Q25 results show no stabilization, with total revenue down 7.1% y/y and adjusted EPS falling 53.4% y/y to $0.44. The European macro environment is deteriorating, driven by U.S. tariffs and ECB rate cuts, severely impacting MAN's core regions.
