Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from PAYX's reported EPS growth of 9.2% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $7.62
- Implied price
- $159.92
- Return from $123.36
- 5.3% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $79.51 — -35.5% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -0.8% | -10.5% | -7.2% | -4.3% | -1.7% | 0.6% |
| 4.2% | -6.0% | -2.5% | 0.5% | 3.2% | 5.7% |
| 9.2% | -1.5% | 2.1% | 5.3% | 8.2% | 10.8% |
| 14.2% | 3.0% | 6.8% | 10.2% | 13.1% | 15.8% |
| 19.2% | 7.5% | 11.5% | 15.0% | 18.1% | 20.9% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

93 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
