Paychex Is Out of Favor—And That’s the Opportunity

Paychex (PAYX) has declined to 52-week lows amid growth concerns and analyst downgrades, but the company maintains strong fundamentals with 17% revenue growth, healthy labor market demand, and a 3.8% dividend yield. The stock trades at 21x earnings—a discount to its historical 28x average—presenting a potential value opportunity for income investors. AI-driven product rollouts and improving market sentiment could serve as catalysts for a rebound, with analysts targeting around $110 as support and potential 25% upside.
