We recently published a list of Top 20 Falling Stocks with Unusual Volume. In this article, we are going to take a look at where ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE:MAN) stands against other top falling stocks with unusual volume.
Uncertainty around tariffs and macroeconomic conditions has dented investor confidence, resulting in stock prices falling. While some stocks have come under pressure due to the above two reasons, others have simply followed the market direction or have dipped for company-specific reasons.
Regardless of the reasons for stocks going down, falling stocks provide an opportunity for fresh investors to get in at good prices. Once the risks subside, these stocks usually recover quickly as well. We decided to uncover these stocks and see if it makes sense to put money in them to take advantage of the ongoing market turmoil.
To come up with our list of top 20 stocks falling with unusual volume, we looked at stocks over $300 million in market cap, their one-week performance, and used relative volume to detect the unusual volume activity.
Relative volume compares the daily volume to the three-month average trading volume of the stock, making it easy to detect spikes in volume. These spikes usually signal something important is happening, which, when combined with falling prices, becomes a red flag that investors can’t ignore.

ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE:MAN)
ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE:MAN) operates as a workforce solutions and services provider. The company offers its services under the Manpower, Experis, and Talent Solutions brands. It also provides administrative, recruitment, industrial, workforce development, and other services. The stock is down 21.04% in a week on a relative volume of 3.57.
The firm’s stock fell significantly right after the announcement of its Q1 2025 results on April 17. Revenue continues to decline, falling 5% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. In addition to revenue, both adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITA margin also declined significantly. Adjusted EPS saw a 53.4% decline YoY, along with adjusted EBITA margin contraction of 1.3% YoY. This indicates that the company’s financial stability is worsening day by day.
According to the guidance, there is no major revenue acceleration in the short term, as the management anticipates revenue to continue to decline by 3% to 7% on a constant currency basis in Q2 2025. EPS guidance shows a substantial 47% YoY decline at the midpoint. It seems 2025 is going to be another challenging year for the firm.
Overall, MAN ranks 4th on our list of top falling stocks with unusual volume.
