Piper Jaffray maintained a Neutral rating on TriNet Group (NYSE: TNET), and cut the price target to $22.00 (from $33.00), following 2Q15 results. EPS of $0.14 missed the Street's $0.27. Management lowered full-year revenue guidance by $25M.
Analyst George Tong commented, "Claims expense visibility remains diminished at TriNet, where 2Q results included a higher-than-expected frequency of large medical claims, contributing to a miss in net services revenue, EBITDA and EPS. While claims accrual expense was higher than expected, worksite employee growth re-accelerated with strong growth in sales reps. We remain on the sidelines until claims expense visibility improves, which will require 1-2 quarters of execution consistent with reset guidance. Reiterate Neutral and lowering price target from $33 to $22."
