$PAYX shares were down -9.40% on Wednesday at
$137.94, losing the most of any S&P 500 stock, after the U.S. payroll & human resources services provider reported lower than expected sales for its fiscal Q4. Paychex reported fiscal 2025 Q4 revenue rose 10% year-over-year to
$1.43 billion, while analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha were looking for
$1.44B. However, the majority of those gains stemmed from the acquisition of human capital management, or HCM, software firm
$PYCR , which closed in April. Paychex also provided full-year sales & profit guidance that came in below consensus estimates. The stock is down -12.37% in the past month & -1.63% in 2025, but up +17.06% y/y, with a market cap of
$49.68B.
