This Staffing Stock Has Plunged 56% in a Year, but Does a Nearly $10 Million Buy Signal a Turnaround Looming?

On February 17, 2026, Stonehill Capital Management disclosed a new investment in ManpowerGroup (MAN), acquiring 316,522 shares valued at $9.41 million during Q4 2025. This stake represents 2.8% of Stonehill’s total U.S. equity assets, which stood at $333.82 million at year-end. The move comes as ManpowerGroup’s stock has struggled, down 56% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500’s 19% gain.

Despite its stock performance, ManpowerGroup reported a 7% year-over-year revenue increase to $4.7 billion, alongside a rise in net earnings from $22.5 million to $30 million. The company is witnessing signs of stabilization, particularly in Europe, where Italy’s growth has been notable. As hiring conditions improve, Stonehill’s investment may signal confidence in a potential turnaround for ManpowerGroup, especially if job demand rebounds.
