Our updated Q2 nowcast and intra-quarter staffing datapoints suggest improving

demand trends during Q2. Due to these datapoints, we raise our Q2 estimates to reflect Price (22 Jul 2026) US$57.81

some modest upside to Street Q2 expectations. We also anticipate KFRC guiding Q3 RIC: KFRC.N BBG: KFRC US

revenue/EPS modestly ahead of the Street, as demand momentum continues into July.

We think the stock's recent re-rating (+78% since Q1 report) largely captures the Trading data and key metrics

demand upside, and hence remain Neutral rated. That said, we acknowledge that with 52-wk range US$58.71-24.54

estimate revisions likely continuing to trend upward, the near-term setup into the print Market cap. US$1.20b

Q2 EPS. We raise our Q2 EPS estimate to $0.73 (was $0.71), above consensus EPS Avg. daily value (m) US$3.7

of $0.70 and toward the higher-end of guidance ($0.67-$0.75). Within this, our Common s/h equity (12/26E) US$0.12b

organic growth estimate is +5% yoy (was +4%), above Street's +4% and also at P/BV (12/26E) 8.6x

the high end of guidance (+3-5%). Our estimate contemplates a ~4% sequential Net debt to EBITDA (12/26E) 1.0x

increase in revenue per billing day, in line with the typical seasonality observed pre-

Covid (+2-4%) but above recent years, given improving staffing trends. EPS (UBS, diluted) (USD)
