The main question: the share price moved +54.2% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −9.4%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Paycom Software share price today? Paycom Software, Inc.'s share price was $250.02 at the close on 5 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 15 weeks. That is 50.5% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $114 and $275, and at that close it sat 85% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 18 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +450% while the S&P 500 moved +245%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Paycom Software pay? Paycom Software, Inc. paid $1.50 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.38 for Jun 2026.

## Is Paycom Software profitable? Paycom Software, Inc. earned $107 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +20.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 5th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $453 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 23.3% a year on average. That is 20.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $89.5 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $453 M (−9.7% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +9.8% on a year earlier and the margin moved +8.5 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +20.7% and revenue +9.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Paycom Software make, and is it growing? Paycom Software, Inc. reported $531 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +9.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 18.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $2.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.1 B. FY25 revenue was $2.1 B, +8.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +9.3% on average, against 18.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +9.2%, against +9.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +17.3%, against +1.6% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Paycom Software keep? Paycom Software, Inc.'s operating margin was 31.7% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 8.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 24.0% and 27.6%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between 24.0% and 27.6%, and FY25's 27.6% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +8.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.9 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Paycom Software's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 131% of Paycom Software, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $679 M of operating cash against $453 M of profit. After $271 M of spending on assets, $408 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Paycom Software's cash go? Paycom Software, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $656 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 10.7% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $656 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Paycom Software's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Paycom Software, Inc.'s P/E is 24.1×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −9.4% while the price moved +54.2%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +16.3% a year; about +17.1% a year came from earnings growth and about −0.8 percentage points from the multiple (roughly no change). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Paycom Software business getting better or worse? Paycom Software, Inc.'s business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 4 quarters ago at −11.9% and has recovered to +17.3%, with ROCE rising at 31.3%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. ## How much does Paycom Software earn on its capital? Paycom Software, Inc. earned a ROE of 26% in FY25. That is up from a low of 22% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 30.9 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 22.1% net margin and 0.27× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 22.1% net margin × 0.27× asset turnover × 4.39× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 26.2% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 38.7% − 7.8% = +30.9 percentage points. The 7.8% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 38.7% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 30.7%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Paycom Software have too much debt? Paycom Software, Inc. has total debt of $983 M against shareholder equity of $572 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.72× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.07 in FY21 to 0.05 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Paycom Software shareholding pattern? 6.6% of Paycom Software, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.6 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Paycom Software from balance-sheet trouble? For Paycom Software, Inc., the Z-score is 2.71. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.71 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Paycom Software rank in its industry?
