Prevatt Capital Expands Stake in H&R Block Amid Valuation Dip

Prevatt Capital Ltd has significantly increased its investment in H&R Block (HRB), adding 360,000 shares to its portfolio during the first quarter of 2026. According to an SEC filing dated April 27, the estimated value of the transaction was approximately $12.55 million, calculated using the mean unadjusted closing price for the quarter. The investment is particularly notable given Prevatt Capital's concentrated strategy, as the fund maintains only 11 total holdings. The purchase appears to have been timed around H&R Block's 52-week low of $28.16 reached in February, positioning the fund to benefit from the company's peak tax season. Financial performance remains a point of strength for the company. H&R Block reported strong top-line growth in its fiscal second quarter ending December 31, with sales reaching $198.9 million, representing an 11% increase year-over-year. Despite this growth, the stock has faced downward pressure as investors weigh the potential for artificial intelligence to disrupt traditional tax preparation services over the long term. From a valuation perspective, the company's price-to-sales ratio has dropped to approximately one, marking a multi-year low. This suggests a disconnect between the company's current revenue performance and its market valuation, a gap that Prevatt Capital appears to be exploiting with its increased stake.
