Barrett Business Services News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting Barrett Business Services this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Sidoti projects stronger multi‑year earnings: FY2026 EPS of $2.46 and FY2027 EPS of $2.83, well above the current market consensus of $2.00 — a bullish signal for forward earnings and valuation. MarketBeat: Sidoti estimates
• Positive Sentiment: Sidoti’s quarterly cadence shows recovery/acceleration after Q1: Q2–Q4 2026 and Q2–Q4 2027 estimates are materially positive (examples: Q3 2027 $1.09, Q2 2027 $0.94), implying stronger seasonal performance in back halves of the years. MarketBeat: Sidoti quarterly detail
• Neutral Sentiment: These are analyst model updates (Sidoti’s M. Riddick); they revise expectations above consensus but are not company guidance — the market may wait for actual quarterly results or company commentary before fully repricing the stock. MarketBeat: Analyst note
• Neutral Sentiment: Reported short‑interest data for January appears inconsistent (shows 0 shares, NaN change), so there’s no clear short‑squeeze or covering signal from that report. Treat the short‑interest figure as unreliable until confirmed. MarketBeat: Short interest
• Negative Sentiment: Sidoti’s models still show Q1 weakness (Q1 2026: -$0.08, Q1 2027: -$0.02), indicating potential near‑term EPS misses or seasonal pressure that could produce volatility at upcoming quarterly releases. MarketBeat: Q1 estimates
