Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BGSF

09/17/2026: BGSF (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

BG Staffing Inc is a specialized human capital firm that provides temporary labor solutions, primarily focusing on multifamily real estate and professional technical roles. The company's main strength lies in its domain expertise within property management and its ability to scale through targeted acquisitions. The investment story centers on capturing market share in niche sectors, though growth is subject to the cyclical nature of the staffing industry and integration risks. Key risks include exposure to economic downturns, rising competition from tech-enabled platforms, and the complexities of acquisition execution. The stock may suit dividend-oriented investors seeking sector exposure, provided they monitor labor market trends and the firm's acquisition success.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

BGSF receives a 3-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

BGSF has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, weak growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-130.9%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -0.0%), negative revenue growth (-65.8%).

Financial Health Rating

BGSF's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 50.3%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

BGSF's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -65.8% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-130.9%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-100.1%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 34.2% and approximately 87.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 6.96% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Tieton Capital Management, LLC 5.93%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.59%
Pacific Ridge Capital Partners, LLC 3.57%
SEI Investments Co 2.64%
BlackRock Inc 1.45%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

BGSF generates approximately $341 of gross profit, $-100 of operating income, and $-0 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 14.02%

Quantitative Style Profile

BGSF has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
