HireQuest posted Q1 2026 net income of $1.6 million ($0.11 per share) and adjusted EBITDA of $2.7 million, while total revenue fell to $6.5 million largely due to the divestiture of MRI Network assets. System‑wide sales were $102.6 million and were nearly flat year‑over‑year when excluding the divestiture. Management said weekly comparisons improved late in Q1 and have strengthened further into Q2, attributing momentum to lower net immigration and gains from investments in its National Accounts program. The company also submitted a $105 million all‑cash offer to acquire the on‑demand portion of TrueBlue’s PeopleReady segment and expects to continue paying quarterly dividends. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com
