Barrett Business Services reported Q2 2026 results on August 5, 2026. Earnings per share were $0.52, below the $0.56 estimate by 6.31%. Revenue was $319.3 million, slightly short of the $321.6 million consensus. Compared with Q2 2025, revenue rose about 4% from $307.7 million, while EPS fell from $0.70.

Q1 is the weakest quarter each year, and it ended in a loss in 2024, 2025 and 2026. Q1 2026's loss of $0.59 per share was the largest in the table, so the first half of 2026 shows a loss of $0.07 per share against a profit of $0.66 a year earlier, on revenue about 4% higher. Annual EPS rose every year in the table, from $1.65 in 2022 to $1.86 in 2023, $1.98 in 2024 and $2.09 in 2025. Annual revenue grew from $1.05 billion in 2022 to $1.24 billion in 2025. The EPS high was $0.79 in Q3 2025. Over the last 20 quarters, Barrett beat the EPS estimate 15 times, but the five most recent quarters include four misses.

Q3 results came between November 1 and November 6 in each of the past five years. That points to early November 2026 for the next report.
