Technical Analysis
This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.
H&R Block (HRB-N) provides assisted income tax return preparation services and operates in a mature industry with limited growth. Despite stable revenue and a strong balance sheet, the company faces competition from DIY tax software. The recent weaker tax season results and flat growth have led to mixed opinions on its potential. However, some experts believe that the shares are cheap and the cash flows cover the dividend, which may make a case for the stock.

HRB recently reported results with revenue essentially meeting estimates but EPS of $4.2 missed estimates of $4.46. Tax season came in weaker than HRB was expecting and guidance also came down because of this. They have a $900 mln buyback program available and the shares are cheap. We don't like to call dividends 'safe' but cash flows cover the dividend so we would not be too concerned on this front. We think a case can be made for HRB but with the flat growth, it is not a name that would really interest us.
