H&R Block shares have dropped 16.7% since its latest report, underperforming the S&P 500 despite a 6.7% beat in adjusted earnings and strong growth in its Wave small-business division, as investors weigh expense increases against improved client retention and AI-driven engagement.

  • According to GN markets/earnings (en-US), the decline persists despite fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter results showing adjusted EPS of $2.38, which exceeded consensus by 6.7%, and revenue growth driven by the Wave platform and improved client conversion metrics.
