-7.52%

HRB is down 11% so far this year. It just announced that it was shuttering its troubled mortgage unit. Has everyone forgotten that they are the leaders in tax prep and that it will soon be tax season? Long term investors will we value in this franchise.

H&R Speeds Towards a Brick Wall
HRB
+5.44%
in
800 days
H&R (HRB) just today announced some difficult news. They indicated that the Q1 loss ballooned as it struggled with its mortgage lending arm and said it is trying to renegotiate the sale of the unit. Really!
If you have been following the tone and nuance of their recent press releases you would start to become suspicious. First they announce that they will amputate their problem and sell the offending mortgage unit with the sub prime blemish to Cerberus. The deal is to close later this year and is subject to certain closing conditions.

Jackson Hewitt: Is There Value in the Current Stock Price?
Jackson-Hewitt Tax Service (JTX) is the second largest "brick-and-mortar" tax preparation firm, trailing only H&R Block (HRB) in returns filed. The company operates primarily on a franchising model, where franchisees open locations and pay royalty and advertising fees back to the parent, although recently the company has moved towards more company-owned stores, as a large franchisee came under DOJ investigation for tax fraud in 2007, hurting the brand name. <>Historically, Jackson-Hewitt has focused on lower income filers, which are more likely to use physical locations instead of online softw...
