- ZipRecruiter, Inc. (ZIP) Reports Q1 Loss, Tops Revenue Estimates
May 7, 2026
ZipRecruiter, Inc. (ZIP) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.06 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.15. This compares to a loss of $0.13 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +60.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.06 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.01, delivering a surprise of +83.33%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
ZipRecruiter, which belongs to the Zacks Business - Services industry, posted revenues of $107.55 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.60%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $110.07 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
ZipRecruiter shares have lost about 20% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.6%.
What's Next for ZipRecruiter?
While ZipRecruiter has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for ZipRecruiter was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.04 on $111.11 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$0.16 on $449.11 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Story Continues
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Business - Services is currently in the top 32% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
ABM Industries (ABM), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2026.

The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

- How Investors May Respond To ABM Industries (ABM) Winning Vanderbilt NYC Campus Operations Contract
May 1, 2026
In April 2026, ABM Industries announced it had been selected by Vanderbilt University to deliver its end-to-end ABM Performance Solutions model at Vanderbilt’s New York City campus, overseeing renovation, startup, and ongoing maintenance across cleaning, engineering, grounds, subcontractor oversight, and event support. This contract expands ABM’s role in managing the historic General Theological Seminary site, underscoring its ability to combine complex facility operations, modernization, and long-term sustainability for a high-profile education client. We’ll now examine how securing end-to-end operational responsibility for Vanderbilt’s New York campus could influence ABM’s broader investment narrative and outlook.
Uncover the next big thing with 23 elite penny stocks that balance risk and reward.
ABM Industries Investment Narrative Recap
To own ABM Industries, you need to believe in its role as a scaled, integrated facilities partner that can convert long-term service contracts into steadier earnings while gradually improving margins. The Vanderbilt New York campus win fits that narrative but does not materially change the key near term swing factors, which still center on whether ABM can relieve margin pressure in B&I and M&D without sacrificing revenue stability in competitive, price sensitive markets.
Among recent announcements, the multi year partnership with the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park is especially relevant. Like Vanderbilt, it uses ABM Performance Solutions across complex, high visibility facilities, reinforcing the idea that ABM is leaning into end to end contracts with large, branded clients. For the bullish narrative, these wins support the view that ABM can deepen client relationships and improve revenue visibility even as it works through contract pricing and renewal risk elsewhere.
But while these contracts look reassuring, investors should still be aware of the margin pressure risk if ABM keeps accepting lower initial pricing in key segments...
Read the full narrative on ABM Industries (it's free!)
ABM Industries' narrative projects $9.9 billion revenue and $307.2 million earnings by 2029.
Uncover how ABM Industries' forecasts yield a $51.43 fair value, a 26% upside to its current price.
Exploring Other PerspectivesABM 1-Year Stock Price Chart
Some of the lowest estimate analysts were already cautious, assuming only 3.6 percent annual revenue growth and US$287.1 million of earnings by 2029, and they worry that construction driven delays and mix shifts in Technical Solutions could keep margins under strain. The Vanderbilt win might eventually challenge that view, but it also shows how dependent ABM is on complex, project based work that pessimists see as a source of volatility.

Apr 29, 2026
Willdan Group (WLDN) shares soared 8.7% in the last trading session to close at $72.72. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 11.2% loss over the past four weeks.
The stock recorded this price increase as the company benefits from a hike in electricity demand, driven by AI and data centers. The performance was further bolstered by the company’s success in the commercial sector, led by data center power requirements.
This energy efficiency and sustainability consultant is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.81 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +28.6%. Revenues are expected to be $89.55 million, up 4.9% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For Willdan, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on WLDN going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
