Specialty Business Services, equal-weighted, based at 200 S&P 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

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.

02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Specialty Business Services outperforming S&P 500?

Specialty Business Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 4.4% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 4.2%. 12 of 29 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Quad/Graphics, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +31.4%.

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.

Bottom line

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.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
First Advantage Corporation has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 63.6% 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.
Quad/Graphics, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action

Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Specialty Business Services at +177.9%. Quad/Graphics, Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +37.8%. 12 of 29 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

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. 19 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. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderABM Industries Incorporated · $9,053 million
Gap2.1% versus #2 · Global Payments Inc.
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage19/30 companies · 503 observations

Investor read: ABM Industries Incorporated is the scale benchmark; Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

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.

Operating Economics & Margin Trend

Copart, Inc. has the highest OPM among the 30 Specialty Business Services companies compared here, at 37.5%. Thomson Reuters Corporation is next at 30.6%. First Advantage Corporation has the highest Margin change at +6.6 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 27 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Copart, Inc. leads opm at 37.5%; First Advantage Corporation leads margin change at +6.6 percentage points.

LeaderCopart, Inc. · 37.5%
Gap22.5% versus #2 · Thomson Reuters Corporation
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage27/30 companies · 485 observations

Investor read: Copart, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Profit Scale & Acceleration

Thomson Reuters Corporation has the highest Net profit among the 30 Specialty Business Services companies compared here, at $1,564 million. Copart, Inc. is next at $1,548 million. ABM Industries Incorporated has the highest Profit growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Thomson Reuters Corporation leads with $1,564 million of TTM profit, 1% above Copart, Inc.. ABM Industries Incorporated shows ≥100% on the scoring scale (101.3% uncapped) growth from a $159 million profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.

LeaderThomson Reuters Corporation · $1,564 million
Gap1% versus #2 · Copart, Inc.
Persistence4/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage19/30 companies · 504 observations

Investor read: Thomson Reuters Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Return On Capital Employed

RELX PLC has the highest ROCE among the 30 Specialty Business Services companies compared here, at 9.3%. Cintas Corporation is next at 8.4%. Cass Information Systems, Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +1.6 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 30 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: RELX PLC leads ROCE at 9.3%, 0.9 percentage points above Cintas Corporation. Cass Information Systems, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +1.6 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

LeaderRELX PLC · 9.3%

Investor read: RELX PLC sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Maximus, Inc. has the lowest PEG among the 30 Specialty Business Services companies compared here, at 0.29×. Global Payments Inc. is next at 0.34×. Spire Global, Inc. has the lowest P/E at 8.33×, so level and change sit with different companies. 11 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Maximus, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.29×, 14.7% below Global Payments Inc.. Only 11 of 30 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderMaximus, Inc. · 0.29×
Gap14.7% versus #2 · Global Payments Inc.
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage11/30 companies · 78 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

10 · before the conclusion, check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Specialty Business Services comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 30 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 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.
11 · evidence and freshness

How was this comparison built?

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. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Specialty Business Services company comparison FAQs

These 22 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 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Specialty Business Services sector outperforming S&P 500?

Specialty Business Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 4.4% over 52 weeks and 4.2% over 13 weeks. 12 of 29 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 10 of 29 beat the sector itself.

Which Specialty Business Services company is largest by revenue?

ABM Industries Incorporated leads with revenue of $9,053 million, based on 19 of 30 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

Which Specialty Business Services company is growing fastest?

Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. has the fastest current revenue growth at 82.2%, across 18 of 30 comparable companies.

Which Specialty Business Services company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

First Advantage Corporation ranks first at 61.8/100 with 63.6% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.

Which Specialty Business Services company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Maximus, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.29, among 11 of 30 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Specialty Business Services comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

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 19 of 30 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
