MAN's third-quarter 2024 earnings and revenues decline year over year.

I have downgraded ManpowerGroup to a Hold due to the company's disappointing Q4 2024 guidance, but MAN isn't a Sell considering its attractive valuation post-earnings announcement price correction. MAN's Q3 2024 results met expectations, but its guidance implies a -3% YoY revenue decline and a significant drop in normalized EPS for Q4. The stock's valuations are appealing, taking into account its historical trading averages and its earnings growth track record.

ManpowerGroup's Q3 '24 results showed mixed performance, with revenues slightly above expectations but EPS below, leading to a nearly 10% share price drop. The company's guidance for Q4, with lower-than-expected EPS and declining revenues, suggests continued market weakness and uncertainty. Despite cautious optimism, I see no clear signs of recovery; thus, I maintain a hold rating, awaiting better market conditions.
