Barrington analyst Alexander Paris reiterated a Buy rating on H&R Block (HRB – Research Report) today and set a price target of $55.00.
Alexander Paris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that indicate H&R Block’s strong financial performance and positive outlook. In the recent fiscal quarter, the company outperformed expectations with a notable increase in revenue and a decrease in EBITDA loss, surpassing both Barrington’s estimates and the wider market consensus. This improvement was driven by higher transaction volumes and an increase in interest and fee income from their Emerald Advance product, signaling a strong start to the fiscal year.
Furthermore, Paris’ confidence is bolstered by the company’s reaffirmed guidance for the full fiscal year, which aligns with Barrington’s estimates and suggests a healthy year-over-year growth in both revenue and EBITDA. H&R Block’s stock is also currently valued attractively compared to its peers, trading at a discount despite its strong market position and expected growth. These factors, combined with a solid dividend yield and an aggressive share repurchase program, underpin Paris’ recommendation to investors that the stock has a significant upside potential, justifying the Outperform rating and a $55 price target.
