Barclays reiterates an 'Equalweight' on Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) price target of $40.00 (from $42.00).

Analyst, Gary E. Bisbee, said, "MAN reported slightly better than expected 2Q'12 results, but 3Q'12 guidance indicated that trends continue to weaken across most of its major markets. While MAN is far from expensive on a historical basis at 12.4x/11.6x our new CY'12-'13 EPS estimates, we remain cautious and see risk to estimates remaining skewed to the downside over the next few quarters."

FY12 EPS estimate is lowered from $2.78 to $2.69 and FY13 from $3.14 to $2.88. Bisbee prefers Robert Half (NYSE: RHI) in the space.
