Barrington analyst Kevin Steinke lowered the firm's price target on Kelly Services to $16 from $25 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company's Q2 results missed expectations and it noted that macroeconomic dynamics had an increased negative impact on performance, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm cites the Q3 shortfall and "soft" Q4 outlook for the target cut.

Reason
Barrington views Kelly Services shares as "significantly undervalued" after hosting investor meetings with management. The company is undertaking a strategic transformation that has positioned it as a leading provider of "faster-growing and higher-margin" specialty staffing and workforce solutions focused in North America, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Kelly is valued at a substantial discount to other publicly-traded staffing companies, which offers a "compelling investment opportunity." It keeps an Outperform rating on the shares with a $25 price target.
