Paychex, Inc. (PAYX)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a provider of payroll, human resource, and employee benefits outsourcing solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

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.

The company is a leader in a niche market servicing small to mid-size companies of < 20 employees. They are in the early stages of expanding their revenue base through health/employee benefit administration. The upside to this part of the business appears to be wide open. The company has good management, no debt and an attractive dividend. A recession may slow growth in the near-term but the long-term prospects should be favorable.

PAYX has performed below the S&P since December of last year. It will continue to track just below the S&P for the next several months until the economy stabilizes.

No debt, cash generator even in this economy, and an enticing dividend makes this a long term keeper.
