What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($44.29). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (56/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range ($22.14 to $44.29) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

ManpowerGroup Inc (MAN) currently trades at $56.60, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $29.67, implying the stock looks roughly 47.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, ManpowerGroup Inc generated revenue of $18.4B at a net margin of -0.1%. Revenue grew 10.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -0.8%. Net debt stands at $1.5B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $22.14 (bear case) to $44.29 (bull case); at $56.60, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 130% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 23% fair-value upside, at -48%, MAN screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
