Upgraded RHI from Sell to Hold as early signs of demand stabilization emerge, but revenue trends remain negative and recovery is not imminent. 2Q25 results showed continued revenue declines and margin pressure, with the Talent Solutions segment as the main drag, though the tech subsegment saw slight growth. Management's improved tone and stabilization in June/July are encouraging, but 3Q25 guidance signals no near-term turnaround, and consensus estimates are too optimistic.
