Why Are Investors Bullish On Paychex Stock?
Despite the negative effects of high inflation figures, the falling unemployment rate has been a boon for human capital management firms including Paychex (NASDAQ: PAYX). After observing a sell-off in early January, the stock again observed a dip in recent weeks. However, considering the company’s renewed expectations of 12-13% topline expansion for FY2022, Trefis believes that the stock is unlikely to observe further correction. Our machine learning engine’s analysis of trends in the stock price over the last ten years, estimates a 68% chance of a rise in the coming weeks by comparing the recent uptick with historical stock price movements.
