DHI Group announced a new $5 million stock repurchase program that will become effective on November 13, 2025 and run through November 12, 2026. The program gives the board discretion to buy back shares through open‑market purchases, negotiated transactions, or other means, but it does not obligate the company to purchase any shares.
The buyback is part of DHI’s broader capital‑allocation strategy, which has included disciplined cost management and share repurchases in recent years. The $5 million authorization represents roughly 6 % of the company’s market capitalization of about $81.9 million, underscoring management’s view that the shares are undervalued.
DHI’s 2024 financials showed revenue of $142 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25 %, with a target of 26 % for 2025. The company’s Q3 2025 guidance projects revenue of $31.2 million, a 12.1 % decline YoY, and EPS of $0.06, reflecting a cautious outlook amid a slowing tech‑hiring market.
Management highlighted the buyback as a confidence signal. CFO Greg Schippers said the authorization “underscores our confidence in our strategic direction and our commitment to deliver long‑term value to shareholders while continuing to invest in growth opportunities.” CEO Art Zeile noted that the company has navigated a challenging macro environment, maintaining an improved adjusted EBITDA margin despite revenue declines.
The program’s flexibility allows DHI to adjust repurchase activity in response to market conditions and liquidity needs. Analysts have noted that the company’s liquidity ratios—current and quick ratios of 0.42 and a debt‑to‑equity ratio of 0.29—indicate modest liquidity constraints, making the buyback a strategic tool to manage capital efficiently.
Investors have reacted cautiously, with the stock trading at a valuation below fair value but also facing a bearish technical trend and upcoming earnings that could temper enthusiasm. The buyback, however, signals management’s intent to return capital to shareholders while maintaining investment in high‑return verticals.
