Paychex Writes A Fat Check For Paycor HCM

Summary
  • Paychex’s acquisition of Paycor HCM for $22.50 per share led to a 3% drop in Paycor’s stock, reflecting market disappointment.
  • Despite the drop, Paychex’s management expects $80 million in annual run-rate synergies and additional revenue synergies from the deal.
  • PAYX shares have underperformed the S&P 500, but the company’s fundamentals are strong, though its stock remains expensive.
  • I maintain a ‘hold’ rating for Paychex and recommend a ‘sell’ for PYCR due to limited additional upside.
