DEMANDING

53

out of 100

Manpowergroup Inc. earns a fundamental-quality score of 53 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its growth (revenue +0.7%/yr). Its weakest area is its profitability (net margin 0.6%). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

ManpowerGroup is one of the world's big temporary-staffing and recruitment firms: it places millions of people a year in temp and permanent jobs, with Europe its heaviest market. Its business is the most sensitive labor thermometer on the market: it cools before unemployment does.

What will shape its future

  • The European and American job cycle: temp work is the first thing cut.
  • Structurally thin margins, amplifying any drop in activity.
  • Automation and AI in recruiting, its industry's underlying shift.
