On October 23, Paychex rose 5.02% in Regular Trading, trading at $118.22 per share, with turnover of $189 million.
The move appeared to be supported by the company’s recent launch of a payroll tax penalty protection service, which expands payroll tax resolution support and provides financial protection for penalties and interest if relief is not obtained, adding value to its payroll and HR service offering.
Background context is also constructive: Paychex previously maintained its quarterly dividend at $1.19 per share, and in its latest reported quarter on September 23, it posted adjusted EPS of $1.34 on revenue of $1.63 billion while reiterating full-year guidance for revenue growth of 5% to 6% and adjusted EPS growth of 7% to 9%.
