Paychex posts slight non-GAAP EPS beat but shares tumble on weaker GAAP profit and cash flow
Paychex met revenue expectations at $1.63 billion and reported a non-GAAP EPS of $1.34 versus the $1.32 consensus, but GAAP EPS was $1.21. Revenue rose 6% year‑over‑year while operating and GAAP net income grew about 14%; free cash flow fell to $357.4 million (87% of reported net income) and declined significantly from a year earlier. Management kept fiscal 2027 guidance largely intact, forecasting 5–6% revenue growth, 44% adjusted operating margins and 7–9% adjusted EPS growth. Investors reacted negatively as GAAP results and cash flow underperformed and valuation appears rich relative to sub‑10% earnings growth. » More on finance.yahoo.com
Paychex posts strong Q1 as PEO growth and AI investments lift margins
Paychex reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $1.6 billion, adjusted EPS of $1.34 (up 10%) and an adjusted operating margin of 42%, driven by 12% growth in PEO and insurance revenue. Management cited record PEO retention, high single-digit worksite employee growth and ASO-to-PEO conversions running about double expectations, prompting a raise to PEO and insurance revenue-growth guidance to 7%–8%. The company accelerated AI spending for fiscal 2027 to five times last year, deploying over 2,000 AI agents and commercializing WISE Hire, while reaffirming overall fiscal 2027 guidance but noting tougher comparisons later in the year. For Q2 Paychex expects roughly 4% revenue growth and about a 40% adjusted operating margin. » More on finance.yahoo.com
