Insperity stock price target lowered to $74 by Roth/MKM on guidance cut

Investing.com - Roth/MKM has lowered its price target on Insperity (NYSE:NSP) to $74.00 from $85.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on the human resources services provider. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for NSP now range from $50 to $74, with the stock currently trading at $45.68.

The price target reduction follows a significant selloff of approximately 25% in Insperity shares after the company reported its second-quarter 2025 results and reduced its forward guidance. The stock is now trading near its 52-week low of $45.07, down over 50% from its high of $96.45.

Despite the target cut, Roth/MKM believes the market reaction overlooks Insperity’s underlying value and fails to recognize the competitive advantage provided by its partnership with Workday (NASDAQ:WDAY).

The research firm specifically noted that the partnership with Workday gives Insperity an edge against competitors in the HR services industry, a factor they believe is not currently reflected in the stock price.

Roth/MKM cited management’s forecast for "significantly" improved profitability in 2026 and long-term potential for growth acceleration and operating leverage as reasons for recommending investors accumulate shares during the current pullback.

In other recent news, Insperity Inc . reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, which fell short of analysts’ expectations. The company posted an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.26, missing the anticipated $0.41, marking a 36.59% shortfall. This earnings miss has raised concerns among investors about Insperity’s financial performance and future prospects. The notable gap between expected and actual earnings indicates potential challenges the company may face moving forward. These recent developments have caught the attention of investors and market analysts alike.
