What Is The Market Telling Us
CBIZ’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 7 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 6 months ago when the stock dropped 13.1% on the news that the company reported mixed first-quarter 2025 results, which included an EPS beat, but revenue missed significantly, and full-year revenue guidance fell short. Management lowered its full-year revenue guidance, citing uncertainty around client demand for project-based services and a larger mix of episodic revenue later in the year. Overall, this quarter could have been better.
CBIZ is down 32.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $55 per share, it is trading 38% below its 52-week high of $88.65 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of CBIZ’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,375.
