Paycom Software Inc. (PAYC) saw its shares soar over 10% on October 31, 2024, as the company reported impressive third-quarter results driven by robust demand for its automated human capital management (HCM) solutions.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, Paycom posted adjusted earnings of $1.67 per share, surpassing analysts' consensus estimate of $1.61. Revenue climbed 11.2% year-over-year to $451.9 million, exceeding Wall Street's expectations of $446.9 million. The company's recurring revenues, which account for 98% of total revenues, grew by a strong 11.6% compared to the same period last year.
Paycom's impressive performance was fueled by continued robust demand for its comprehensive payroll and HR software offerings, particularly in the current strong job market. The company's focus on automation and delivering return on investment (ROI) to clients through its Beti self-service payroll solution and other automated solutions like GONE has been a key growth driver. Paycom achieved its largest sales month ever in September 2024, reflecting the strong momentum in its sales efforts and client interest in automation.
