Paychex is one of my favorite stocks. I think it has an economic moat, because of its scale and the high barriers to enter the industry - its small and medium-sized clients don't have a lot of negotiating power, or the ability to form their own payro...

I love the business model here, which is relatively light. It handled outsourced work for many companies, processing paychecks and other things, and enjoying economies of scale. It started focusing on smaller firms, but is now aiming higher, and succ...

Even with a market pull-back, Paychex specializes in providing payroll/benefits services to smaller/medium sized businesses. A weaker environment could bode well as companies may look to outsource more of their payroll/benefits functions to companies...

Been following this one along with ADP (which was my first stock purchase) for years. Great company, and very efficient business. Also has more than half a billion dollars in NET cash ($650 million) on the books which makes the selling price cheape...

I like this stock because it caters to small and midsized companies. Pays a Div and is investor friendly. This company is almost never cheap and I have been waiting to find a buying range for a while.

In these first few week of 2007 (and especially since Feb 27), investors seems at an impass. They seem to be waiting for some unknow catalyst to push them forward, but willing to dive out of the market at the drop of a Chinese hat. I expect more of...

This is a great, well-managed company, and my hat is off to Tom Golisano, but I can't reconcile the current earnings multiple with the company's prospects.

My conservative valuation comes out at about $25, assuming 12% growth in ear...

This company is just too large for its competitors to make any inroads into their business. And the costs for clients to switch is just too great, so Paychex will keep almost all of their clients.

Offering payroll and other personnel services to the small to medium business, of which there are thousands, has proven to be a very profitable niche for this company. Revenue is recurring as it is a function of the number of employees at each client...
