H&R Block closed out fiscal 2026 on a strong note, posting fourth-quarter adjusted diluted EPS of $2.38 against a consensus estimate of $2.21, a beat of 7.69%, while revenue of $1.14 billion edged past the $1.12 billion analyst forecast by 2.42% and grew 3.0% from the year-ago period. The quarter's outperformance was anchored by continued gains in U.S. assisted tax preparation, where higher net average charge and stronger company-owned volume drove top-line momentum, alongside expanding Wave subscription and payments revenue internationally. Full-year operating cash flow climbed 23% to $838.70 million, reflecting improved cash generation that has supported an aggressive capital return program, including roughly $500.30 million in share repurchases and a freshly raised quarterly dividend of $0.46 per share. Institutional interest in the stock has notably grown in recent months, reflecting broader confidence in the company's trajectory. Looking to fiscal 2027, management guided revenue of $4.11 billion to $4.16 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $6.04 to $6.24, signaling continued confidence in its expert-led, technology-enabled model.
