Our note on each quarter Resources Connection files

Where Resources Connection stands after its latest 10-Q

Revenue for the twelve months to August 2026 was $430m, down 19.6% on a year earlier, a steeper fall than the 18.0% decline a quarter earlier. That puts it 16 of 16 for growth among the human resource & employment services companies we cover. Free-cash-flow margin fell to -2.5% from 1.6% a year earlier. Operating margin widened to -10.1% from -36.3%. The diluted share count is up 2.9% on a year earlier, which dilutes existing holders. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades D. It passes 2 of our 2 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $6.07 a share, against a share price of $2.77. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in cash flow shrinking about 20.9% a year for five years, slower than the -11.8% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies cash flow shrinking about 23.7% a year for five years.That is slower than the -11.8% a year revenue growth Resources Connection has delivered.

  • Priced in-23.7%
  • Last 12 months-19.6%
  • 3 years a year-16.6%
  • 5 years a year-11.8%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($2.62, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Resources Connection, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($8M, FY2027 Q1 TTM), growing -0.9% and 4.8% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 4% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$4.9–~$7.3 ; that spread sets a 15% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Resources Connection, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $8M, FY2027 Q1 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Resources Connection, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.9%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.88 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Resources Connection, Inc.’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade D (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: the shares trade below our fair value: a collar caps upside the model expects.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Source: SEC EDGAR XBRL company facts (US and foreign periodic filings); column headings link to the filing. EBITDA is operating income plus depreciation and amortisation. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
