H&R Block stock slips 1.27 percent after fiscal 2027 guidance

H&R Block stock was trading at USD 42.31 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, down 1.27 percent in intraday trading and 27.88 percent below its 52-week high of USD 58.67. The move follows fiscal 2027 guidance calling for revenue of USD 4.11 billion to USD 4.16 billion.

Fiscal 2026 delivered higher earnings

H&R Block generated fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 3.95 billion for the year ended June 30, 2026, up 4.9 percent from USD 3.76 billion in fiscal 2025, according to Quartr. Net income from continuing operations rose 20.8 percent to USD 736.3 million, while adjusted EPS increased 13.9 percent to USD 5.31.

The result also included operating cash flow of USD 838.7 million in fiscal 2026, up 23 percent year over year. That cash generation gives the company room to combine shareholder returns with investment in tax preparation and small-business services.

Guidance sets the next benchmark

For fiscal 2027, management guided to adjusted EPS of USD 6.04 to USD 6.24 and adjusted EBITDA of USD 1.11 billion to USD 1.14 billion, according to Zacks. The revenue range implies a higher sales base than fiscal 2026, while the EPS range places execution and seasonal tax volumes at the center of the next reporting cycle.

H&R Block also raised its quarterly dividend from USD 0.42 to USD 0.46 per share, a 9.52 percent increase, according to MarketBeat. The annualized dividend is USD 1.84 per share, adding an income component as the stock trades below its yearly high.

Stock remains below its yearly high

At USD 42.31 on September 23, 2026, H&R Block stock was below its 52-week high of USD 58.67 and above its 52-week low of USD 28.16. The USD 5.36 billion market capitalization reflects a valuation shaped by both the fiscal 2026 earnings growth and the market's assessment of fiscal 2027 execution.
