Guru Commentaries on NAS:HQI
Liberty Park Capital Management
Bullish
2026 Q2
What the manager wrote
HireQuest benefited from an improving hiring environment throughout the quarter, with immigration enforcement tightening the labor pool and driving demand for the company's staffing services. This momentum is supported by a decentralized model that continues to outperform larger competitors. Additionally, the company has an active buyback program equal to approximately 40% of the free float.
Mindset Value Fund
Bullish
2025 Q2
What the manager wrote
We believe HireQuest's franchise staffing model is a superior approach within the staffing industry. Despite previous challenges, including immigration pressure and a poorly timed acquisition, we see positive developments. The workers' comp drag is unwinding, and the tech acquisition is now profitable. Additionally, tightening immigration policies are leading to more rigorous verification of legal status by employers, which benefits HireQuest's business. We admire the franchise model for its strong cash flow, high margins, and excellent returns on capital.
