PageGroup股價因歐洲需求疲弱下跌超過4%




PageGroup 股份因歐洲需求疲弱而下跌

PageGroup(LON:PAGE)股份在周一下跌超過4%,原因是該公司發佈的第四季度交易更新顯示市場狀況依然困難。

PageGroup 首席執行官尼古拉斯·柯克(Nicholas Kirk)在聲明中表示:「第四季度的市場條件仍然具有挑戰性,儘管大多數市場的情況持平,但我們在歐洲的兩個主要市場,法國和德國,的情況卻進一步惡化。」

在2024年最後一季度,PageGroup 的毛利為1.967億英鎊,按固定匯率計算比2023年同期下降了13%。法國和德國的毛利分別下降了17%和23%。其他地區如亞太和英國也報告了雙位數的下降,進一步加劇了整體的下滑。

RBC資本市場的分析師在報告中指出:「第四季度的情況如預期般疲弱,與較弱的宏觀經濟指標一致,PAGE指出法國和德國(合計占集團費用的約四分之一)的情況在季度內惡化,但我們注意到,在選舉後,美國的情況回暖,這可能預示著活動的持續回升。」

永久招聘業務佔集團業務的70%,同比下降了16.8%,而臨時招聘則下降了14.2%。儘管薪資水平持續強勁,但公司指出,長時間的招聘流程和面試轉化為工作機會的比率降低已對業績造成不利影響。

儘管費用率保持高位,但市場條件的收緊使得客戶的風險厭惡情緒上升,進一步延長了招聘所需的時間。

交易更新還顯示,該公司減少了130名業務人員,減幅為2.4%,主要集中在歐洲和英國。

柯克補充道:「展望未來,法國和德國等大多數市場仍存在高度的宏觀經濟和地緣政治不確定性。」

展望未來,該公司對於人工智能和技術的投資表示謹慎樂觀,這將提升客戶體驗並提高生產力。然而,PageGroup表示,市場的不確定性可能會持續,限制增長前景。

RBC補充道:「我們預計2025財年的共識 EBIT 會因為近期交易困難而向我們最近調低的預估靠攏,但我們仍然看到對於耐心投資者的中期吸引力。」

這篇報導突顯了PageGroup在當前市場環境中的挑戰,尤其是在主要市場如法國和德國需求下降的情況下。隨著全球經濟的不確定性加劇,企業在招聘和人力資源管理上面臨的壓力將會持續,這不僅影響了PageGroup的業績,也反映了更廣泛的經濟趨勢。隨著人工智能等技術的投資成為未來增長的潛在動力,企業如何平衡短期困難與長期機遇,將會是未來發展的關鍵。
