Losses Still Heavy On A Smaller Revenue Base

  • Over the last twelve months, Resources Connection generated US$506.7 million of revenue but recorded a net loss of US$132.4 million, with trailing EPS at a loss of US$4.01.
  • Bears point to this mix of shrinking revenue and steep losses as a sign that the business model is under pressure.
    • Revenue on a trailing basis has moved from US$599.6 million in early 2025 to US$506.7 million in Q2 2026, while net loss widened from US$61.4 million to US$132.4 million over that span.
    • Critics also highlight that losses have grown at about 60.3% per year over the past five years, which lines up with the current unprofitable status shown in the latest Q2 2026 loss of US$12.7 million.
Keep in mind how quickly losses have built up when you weigh the more cautious arguments around RGP’s core business. 🐻 Resources Connection Bear Case

Valuation Signals A Large Gap To DCF Fair Value

  • The company is trading on a P/S of 0.3x versus a peer average of 7.3x and an industry average of 1.3x. The stated DCF fair value of US$40.65492382899002 is far above the current share price of US$4.50.
  • Bulls argue that this wide gap between market price and valuation metrics points to meaningful upside potential if profitability improves.
    • Supporters often cite that the stock price is a small fraction of the DCF fair value and also below peers on simple sales multiples. Both of these are based on the current revenue base of around US$506.7 million over the last twelve months.
    • At the same time, the company remains loss making on US$132.4 million of trailing net losses, so the pricing gap heavily supports the bullish case only if the forecast shift to positive earnings materializes.
If you are weighing that bullish view, it is worth comparing these valuation gaps with how the business performance evolves over the next few reports. 🐂 Resources Connection Bull Case

Dividend Yield High But Not Covered By Cash Flows

  • The shares currently offer a 6.22% dividend yield, yet that payout is not covered by either earnings or free cash flow given the trailing net loss of US$132.4 million.
  • Bears focus on this dividend profile as a financial risk, because it relies on cash sources other than current earnings.
    • The company has reported net losses in each of the last six quarters, ranging from a loss of US$2.4 million to US$73.3 million, which means there has been no earnings support for dividends across that stretch.
    • With trailing EPS at a loss of US$4.01 and no free cash flow coverage cited, critics argue that maintaining a 6.22% yield could pressure the balance sheet if operating performance does not improve.
