AI Summary
HRB's appeal is shifting from a mature tax-and-yield story to a cash-rich assisted-tax platform that can compound value through higher client retention, AI-enabled productivity, and small-business cross-selling; investors should buy only if FY2027 spending converts into measurable retention and margin gains while free cash flow sustains dividends, buybacks, and debt service.
