HireQuest stands out in the staffing industry because it has a proven asset-light franchise model, an aggressive acquisition strategy, management talent, and material ownership in the common stock. Despite recent price underperformance, the company's impressive prior four-year profitable operations, solid balance sheet, cost controls, and disciplined approach to acquisitions present a compelling mean reversion and growth opportunity. HireQuest expects better performance in 2025 due to market stabilization and cost control.
