Recruit Holdings' net profit after tax increased 66% in the first half of fiscal 2026, driven by 24% revenue growth in HR technology, primarily its Indeed job platform. Management upgraded HR technology guidance by 3%, but reiterated group guidance.
Recruit owns two out of three globally scaled employment-related technology platforms, both of which are an order of magnitude larger than their closest competitor.
The employment market is inherently highly fragmented, preventing Indeed from consolidating the market meaningfully.
