How has Specialty Business Services moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 2% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 2% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 30 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Specialty Business Services outperforming S&P 500?

Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 3.4%. 15 of 29 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. First Advantage Corporation is the strongest against the sector itself at +21.3%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
First Advantage Corporation has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 64.6% evidence confidence.
Global Payments Inc. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Cass Information Systems, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
ABM Industries Incorporated has the highest Revenue among the 30 Specialty Business Services companies compared here, at $9,053 million. Global Payments Inc. is next at $8,868 million. Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 82.2%, so level and change sit with different companies. 23 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: ABM Industries Incorporated is the scale leader at $9,053 million, 2.1% ahead of Global Payments Inc.. Resolute Holdings Management, Inc.'s growth is 82.2% from a $767 million base, with 9 reported observations in the 20-quarter window.

This conclusion weakens if: ABM Industries Incorporated's growth falls below Resolute Holdings Management, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Specialty Business Services comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 2 of the 30 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
2 companies have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker.

Which companies are included?
All 30 companies in the canonical Specialty Business Services membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 30 Specialty Business Services companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each.

Specialty Business Services company comparison FAQs
These 18 answers restate the Specialty Business Services comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 30 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Specialty Business Services company is the biggest?
ABM Industries Incorporated is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $9,053 million, ahead of Global Payments Inc. at $8,868 million. That covers 23 of 30 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Specialty Business Services company is growing fastest?
Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 82.2% year on year, across 22 of 30 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Specialty Business Services company has the best profit margins?
Copart, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 37.5%, from 27 of 30 comparable companies. First Advantage Corporation shows the biggest recent improvement, at +6.6 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Specialty Business Services company makes the most profit?
Thomson Reuters Corporation earns the most, at $1,564 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 23 of 30 comparable companies. ABM Industries Incorporated has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Specialty Business Services company earns the highest return on capital?
RELX PLC leads on return on capital employed at 9.3%, across 30 of 30 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Specialty Business Services stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Maximus, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.29×. Only 13 of 30 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Specialty Business Services company has the strongest balance sheet?
Spire Global, Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $8 million, from 27 of 30 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Specialty Business Services company is investing most in new capacity?
Global Payments Inc. reports the largest capital spending at $261 million, across 30 of 30 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Specialty Business Services sector beating the market?
Specialty Business Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 13.4% over the last 52 weeks and 3.4% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 15 of 29 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Specialty Business Services stock has the strongest price momentum?
First Advantage Corporation has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Specialty Business Services company scores highest for research priority?
First Advantage Corporation scores 61.3 out of 100 with 64.6% evidence confidence, from 24.6 points on growth and earnings, 8.1 on capital efficiency, 8.6 on valuation and 20 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Specialty Business Services companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 30 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 6 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 30 Specialty Business Services companies on this page is 31.8×, measured on the 27 that report a comparable figure.

Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
