ManpowerGroup reported its second-quarter 2026 financial results with overall revenue growth and ongoing transformation efforts showing mixed but generally positive trends. The company achieved reported revenues of $4.9 billion, representing 6% constant currency growth, exceeding expectations and reflecting broad-based client demand. System-wide revenues, including franchise operations, reached $5.3 billion. The adjusted EBITA margin improved slightly to 2.1%, supported by favorable demand trends and operational leverage. Adjusted EBITA grew 15% year-over-year in constant currency terms, with adjusted EPS at $0.99, beating guidance. Growth was primarily driven by the Manpower brand, which posted an 8% organic constant currency revenue increase, marking its fifth consecutive quarter of growth. Manpower showed strong momentum in key verticals such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, logistics, and retail, with particularly robust performance in the U.S. (16% organic revenue growth) and improvements in Northern Europe.
