Insperity Inc. (NYSE: NSP), a leading provider of human resources and business solutions, experienced a significant stock plummet of 5.29% on November 1st, 2024. This sharp decline was primarily driven by the company's disappointing third-quarter 2024 earnings results, which revealed a substantial drop in profitability metrics despite flat revenue growth.
While Insperity's revenue of $1.56 billion for the quarter remained flat compared to the same period last year and in line with analyst expectations, its net income plunged by a staggering 93% to $3 million. The company's profit margin also declined sharply, dropping from 2.9% in Q3 2023 to a mere 0.2% in Q3 2024.
Insperity's earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter stood at $0.07, a substantial decrease from $1.17 in the same quarter last year. Although the company managed to beat analysts' consensus estimate of $0.33 per share, the significant drop in profitability metrics appeared to have disappointed investors, leading to the stock's sharp decline.
