H&R Block (HRB) was a top loser this month, diving -10.91% to $35.04 per share. This decline was significant for the company, as it saw its 50-day moving average cross bearishly below its 200-day moving average on February 16, 2023.

H&R Block was one of the 52 companies that experienced a downtrend. This indicates that the company was facing headwinds even within its industry.
The decline in H&R Block's stock price can be attributed to a variety of factors. The most notable of these factors is likely the company's recent financial performance. H&R Block reported disappointing results for its fiscal Q3 2023 earnings, which ended on January 31, 2023. The company's revenue for the quarter was $1.95 billion, which fell short of analysts' estimates. In addition, the company's earnings per share of $0.85 missed estimates by $0.09.
Another possible factor contributing to the decline in H&R Block's stock price is increased competition in the tax preparation industry. H&R Block faces stiff competition from other companies such as Intuit, which offers a popular tax preparation software called TurboTax. This competition has likely put pressure on H&R Block's revenue growth and profitability.
