PAYX: Hold with a $121.64 price target

Quarterly sales are growing, but earnings forecasts have fallen.

Target for 2027-09-11: $121.64 USD, +5.0% versus the $115.80 weekly close on 2026-09-11. Price return only; dividends, fees and tax excluded.

Over 1 year (2025-09-12 to 2026-09-11), price changed -14.3% and trailing EPS changed +10.6%. A wider gap changes the earnings multiple; it does not establish fair value.

Revenue changed +12.4% from the same quarter last year, through 2026-05-31. The previous quarter’s year-on-year change was +19.5%.

Over one year, the stock changed -14.3% against -30.7% for Technology (XLK). The gap is +16.4 percentage points. These are price returns, before dividends.

The estimate for the period ending 2027-05-31 changed -0.1% over 30 days. Coverage is 19 analysts.

The latest quarterly margin changed +7.7 percentage points from a year earlier. Check sales volumes, pricing and unusual gains in the next filing.

Recheck the valuation gap alongside profitability and growth after new results. A discount alone does not establish value.

Compare the stock and the market fund over the same dates. Look for a change in relative performance as results arrive.

Starting annual sales growth: 15%.

Long-term operating margin: 40.61%.
