Kelly Services' sales fell 0.8%, but its adjusted EBITDA margin rose 29% to 2.3%, and it expects a wider margin next quarter. ETM and SET improved, but Education weakness, pressure from a large ETM client, and nearly flat expected sales keep the report balanced.

The AI's read

The sales decline points to softer demand, but gains in ETM and SET show progress in other areas. Education enrollment and therapy-service demand remain weak. Kelly expects sales to stay nearly flat next quarter and its margin to widen, but a large ETM client adds pressure. The report gives no clear reason to lean one way.
