Paychex, Inc. (PAYX) on Decifer

Decifer ranks PAYX number 140 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 20% and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 17% a year, profits grew 7% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• It is not watering down its owners with new shares and it returns cash to shareholders.
• Strong returns near 20% with revenue growing about 17% make it a durable business, but with no worldview catalyst and momentum of 14 out of 35 there is little to accelerate it.
