ASGN Inc's stock experienced a pre-market plunge of 24.56% on Thursday, following the release of its first-quarter 2026 financial results after the previous trading session.
The IT solutions provider reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.69 for Q1 2026, significantly missing the analyst consensus estimate of approximately $0.98. Revenue for the quarter was $968.3 million, remaining flat compared to the same period last year and slightly below expectations. The company's adjusted net income also declined year-over-year.
Adding to investor concerns, ASGN provided disappointing second-quarter guidance. The company expects adjusted EPS in the range of $0.72 to $0.90, which is substantially below the analyst consensus estimate of $1.28 for the upcoming quarter. Revenue guidance of $970 million to $1.0 billion also fell short of market expectations.
