RGP

RGP is a cheap but declining professional-services (staffing/consulting) firm. The headline FY2025 net loss of -$192M is alarming but is overwhelmingly non-cash: total assets fell -40.4% and equity was cut in half while operating cash flow stayed positive at $18.9M — the signature of a large goodwill/intangible impairment tied to prior acquisitions that failed to deliver. Strip that out and the real story is a business melting at the top line: revenue has fallen four straight years, from $805M (FY2022) to $551M (FY2025), down -12.9% this year, with gross profit off -15.7%. Management's 10-K talks up new engagement models (On-Demand, Consulting, Outsourced/Countsy) and an AI push, but explicitly frames these as positioning for when 'the macro environment recovers' — i.e., no near-term demand catalyst in hand.

The offset is a genuinely strong, unlevered balance sheet. No long-term debt, $86.1M cash, current assets of $204M against $75.4M current liabilities (2.7x current ratio), and liabilities/equity of just 0.47x. At $4.62 the $154M market cap sits below book equity of $207M (~$6.22/share) and is backed by cash worth ~$2.58/share, with a P/S of only 0.3. That is why this is a hold and not a sell — the price already discounts a lot of bad news, and the company is in no solvency danger.
