Why The Stock Moved

Qualitative Assessment

AI Analysis | Feedback

Insperity (NSP) stock has lost about 45% since 10/31/2025 because of the following key factors:

1. Insperity significantly missed Q4 2025 earnings and reported a full-year net loss, driven by substantial profitability challenges. The company reported an adjusted net loss per share of $(0.60) for Q4 2025, which was a steeper loss than the $(0.47) per share anticipated by analysts. This contributed to a full-year 2025 net loss of $7 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, a sharp decline from a net income of $91 million in the prior year. Adjusted full-year EPS also fell dramatically by 71% to $1.03 in 2025 from $3.58 in 2024.

2. Elevated benefits costs and margin compression severely impacted profitability. The core reason for the profitability squeeze was "continued elevated benefits costs," citing higher inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy claims, along with increased frequency of large claim activity. This led to a 21% fall in gross profit in Q4 2025 and a 14% decline for the full year. The gross profit margin contracted to 10.2% in 2025 from 12.3% in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA plummeted to -$13 million in Q4 2025, marking a 157% decrease from $23 million in Q4 2024.

AI Analysis | Feedback

Company: Insperity (NSP)

Insperity (NSP) primarily sells its comprehensive human resources and business solutions to other companies. It operates as a professional employer organization (PEO), offering services such as HR administration, payroll processing, employee benefits, workers' compensation, and HR compliance to its clients.

Insperity's target market consists overwhelmingly of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) across a wide array of industries within the United States. Due to the highly diversified nature of its business model, Insperity serves tens of thousands of individual client companies. As a result, no single customer or small group of customers constitutes a "major customer" representing a material portion of Insperity's consolidated revenues.

Therefore, Insperity does not have publicly identified major customer companies in the traditional sense, as its revenue is spread across a large volume of SMB clients rather than concentrated with a few large enterprises.

Key Risks to Insperity (NSP)

Insperity (NYSE: NSP) faces several critical risks to its business, primarily stemming from escalating costs, potential client loss, and broader economic instability. The three most significant risks are:
  1. High Benefits Cost Trend: The most urgent financial risk for Insperity is the escalating cost of employee benefits, particularly healthcare claims. This trend, including rising pharmacy expenses and an increase in significant insurance claims, is directly compressing the company's margins and impacting profitability. This issue has led to a reduction in the company's full-year 2025 guidance and a substantial drop in its stock price.
  2. Client Attrition Due to Repricing: In response to the rising benefits costs, Insperity is implementing aggressive repricing strategies and making changes to its plan designs. While necessary to offset costs, these actions carry the operational risk of client attrition, despite the company's historically strong client retention rates.
  3. Economic Uncertainty and Macroeconomic Slowdown: Insperity's business is highly sensitive to overall economic conditions. Adverse macroeconomic factors, such as a recession or a downturn in the market, could significantly impact its small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) client base. A weaker labor market, for instance, could lead to reduced hiring among clients and slower onboarding of new clients, thereby pressuring Insperity's revenue growth. The human resources industry is inherently cyclical, with demand tied directly to the health of the economy.

AI Analysis | Feedback

The rapid advancement and adoption of integrated HR technology platforms (SaaS) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools represent a clear emerging threat. These solutions offer increasingly comprehensive and automated capabilities for payroll, benefits administration, HR compliance, talent management, and employee self-service. Companies like Rippling and Gusto, alongside established players such as ADP and Paychex enhancing their tech stacks with AI, provide integrated platforms that allow small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to manage many HR functions internally with greater efficiency and often at a lower cost. This trend threatens to "unbundle" or diminish the perceived value of full-service Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) like Insperity, as SMBs gain access to sophisticated, user-friendly tools that can replicate or improve upon many administrative and advisory services historically provided by PEOs. This parallels the shift from Blockbuster's physical rentals to Netflix's streaming model, where a technology-driven, self-service alternative provides a more efficient and flexible solution.

Insperity (NSP) is anticipated to drive future revenue growth over the next two to three years through several key initiatives and market dynamics:

  1. Rollout and Adoption of HRScale: Insperity's strategic joint solution with Workday, branded as HRScale, is positioned as a significant catalyst for future growth. This offering specifically targets the underserved mid-market segment and is expected to drive large client sales and enhance client retention.

  4. Benefits from the New UnitedHealthcare Contract: The recently extended contract with UnitedHealthcare through 2028 is projected to yield substantial cost savings and foster strategic alignment.
