Cautious Outlook on Paychex Amid Market Skepticism and Execution RisksWe tweak FY26 estimate cadence with limited full-year effect and adjust PT to $126 (22.0 x CY26 P/E) with valuation reflecting deal/growth acceleration execution risk & Street labor market concerns. Unpacking MS & PEO&I Acceleration Demand commentary was consistent, and PAYX conveyed relatively resilient SMB behavior while its macro indicators don’t signal any meaningful recessionary risks. While OOB losses were higher they remain in-line with historical levels and PAYX cited some better activity in the micro segment. 1Q client employment levels were consistent with 4Q (down slightly y/y), which persists in 2Q before more 'flattish' y/y levels projected for 2H FY26.
