The company’s recent financial results exceeded expectations, with a notable increase in both revenue and margins, driven by enhanced sales productivity and operational efficiencies.

Furthermore, Levine raised the price target for Paylocity’s stock to $227, based on a higher multiple of 32 times the estimated enterprise value to free cash flow for 2026. The company’s proactive measures, such as share repurchases and debt repayment, demonstrate strong financial management and flexibility. Despite some macroeconomic uncertainties, Paylocity’s stable conditions and negligible impact on its guidance further support the positive outlook, reinforcing Levine’s Buy recommendation.
