20.91% operating margin is above average. ROIC at 9.29%. Note that capital returns lag the margin, the business may be capital-intensive despite high margins.
Revenue declined 12.1% YoY. The question is whether this is cyclical or a structural shift.
At 28x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration.
28.2x earnings, 23.5x FCF. Not cheap, the quality is already reflected in the price. Upside from here requires either margin expansion or growth re-acceleration, not just continuation.

SourceComputed from the 10-Q filed 11 Aug 2026, covering the period ending 30 Jun 2026, as reported to the SEC. Data last refreshed 12 Aug 2026. How this is calculated.
Price from market data, last close as of 1 Sept 2026. Fiscal year ends Dec. Sector medians are approximate S&P 500 benchmarks and update periodically.
At a P/E of 28.2 and a price-to-free-cash-flow of 23.5, HireQuest (HQI) trades above a two-stage DCF intrinsic value of about $11.98 per share, so at $16.07 the stock looks overvalued (25.4% above estimated intrinsic value). A high multiple is not the same as overvalued: fast-growing, high-quality businesses can deserve a premium. See the general approach in how to tell if a stock is overvalued.
On quality, HireQuest scores 40/100 on Intrinsiqq's quality scorecard (a mixed business on these measures), weighing growth, margins, returns on capital, share count, and balance-sheet strength. All figures are computed from SEC filings; read the full methodology. This is analysis, not investment advice.
Intrinsiqq's two-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value of about $11.98 per share for HQI, projecting its recent free cash flow forward with a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate and discounting it back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around $8.99. At today's $16.07, that puts the stock about 25.4% above estimated intrinsic value. The result is sensitive to the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best to run conservative, base and optimistic cases. You can adjust all of them yourself with the sliders on the DCF tab.
HireQuest scores 40 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a mixed business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 29.1% operating margin and a 11.4% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. HQI currently trades above its estimated intrinsic value and scores 40/100 on quality (mixed). A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
