Robert Half Inc. (US7703231032) is trading ex-dividend on August 25, 2026, after a $0.59 quarterly cash payout and a second-quarter revenue base of $1.34 billion. The latest market snapshot shows the shares at $45.63 with a market value of $4.67 billion, while a current earnings estimate points to October 21, 2026.
Dividend timing drives the tape
The ex-dividend date creates the immediate catalyst, and the stock's recent print of $45.63 sits against a market cap of $4.67 billion. A separate market summary put the shares at $45.21 on August 24, 2026, up 1.02 percent in the session, which leaves the dividend event as the cleanest same-day focus.
The income angle is concrete: the quarterly payout is $0.59, or $2.36 annualized, and the latest quarter produced $0.26 in earnings per share on $1.34 billion in revenue. Revenue fell 2.4 percent from a year earlier, while EPS matched consensus at $0.26.
What the numbers say
That mix matters for Robert Half because the market is getting a stable distribution pattern while the operating line remains uneven. The quarter's $1.34 billion in revenue and $0.26 EPS suggest the business is still generating cash, but the 2.4 percent revenue decline keeps attention on hiring demand and staffing volumes.
Analysts' current view is restrained, with one compiled target at $34.75 compared with a share price in the mid-$40s, a gap that signals limited upside in the near term. The comparison is also visible in the market price itself: $45.63 is above that target by $10.88.
Protiviti still matters
Protiviti remains the most recognizable part of the company's consulting franchise, and it gives Robert Half a second earnings engine beyond staffing. For investors, that matters because consulting and staffing can move differently when corporate hiring slows.
Historically, the stock's income profile has been part of the story, but the current numbers show a more balanced mix of yield and valuation pressure. The latest data point is straightforward: $0.59 per share goes ex-dividend on August 25, 2026, while the most recent quoted share price sits at $45.63.
