Robert Half stock jumps 26% as staffing firm flags early-January momentum, lifts focus to Q1 outlook
Robert Half shares jumped 26% Friday after the company reported sequential growth in its latest quarter, despite a year-on-year drop in revenue and profit. The stock closed at $34.13, up $7.04. Executives projected first-quarter revenue between $1.26 billion and $1.36 billion but warned against overinterpreting short-term trends. Investors await next week’s U.S. jobs data for further signals.
