Cost SynergiesPAYX raised its expectations for PYCR cost synergies to greater than $80M, sees more revenue synergy potential, and now expects FY26 EPS accretion.
Financial PerformanceShares up 4.2% on the back of an in-line F3Q25 and re-affirmed F4Q25 guidance.
Bears Say

Small Business ConfidenceRecent deterioration in small business confidence metrics amid a suddenly shakier macro backdrop could be a source of risk.
Valuation ConcernsShares are expensive against current backdrop.
