Shares of Robert Half dropped in late trading after the management consulting firm reported a decrease in profit and revenue, citing moderated business confidence stemming from heightened economic uncertainty over U.S. trade and policy developments.
The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company's shares fell 16% to $39.09. The stock is down about 34% year to date through Wednesday's close.
The company reported a profit of $17 million, or 17 cents a share, for the three months ended March 31, compared with $64 million, or 61 cents a share, in the same quarter a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet expected 36 cents a share.
Revenue decreased to $1.35 billion, below analysts' estimate of $1.41 billion. The company reported sales of $1.48 billion in the year-ago quarter.
"Client and job seeker caution continues to elongate decision cycles and subdue hiring activity and new project starts," Chief Executive M. Keith Waddell said.
