Paychex (PAYX) Set to Report Q4 Earnings: What to Expect?
Paychex, Inc. PAYX is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 29, before market open.
Let's check out the expectations in detail.
Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s to-be-reported quarter’s revenues stands at $1.11 billion, indicating an increase of 8% from the year-ago reported figure.
The consensus mark for Management Solutions’ revenues stands at $816 million, indicating growth of 7.9% from the year-ago reported number. The uptick is likely to have been aided by growth in the company’s client base across human capital management ("HCM") offerings resulting from strong sales performance and high levels of retention; higher checks per payroll for HCM services and net gain in worksite employees for HR solutions; improved revenues per client resulting from enhanced price realization; expansion of HCM ancillary services; and growth in payroll funding and outsourcing services for temporary staffing clients.
The consensus mark for Professional Employer Organization (“PEO”) and Insurance Solutions’ revenues stands at $281 million, indicating growth of 8.9% from the year-ago reported number. The uptick is likely to have been aided by an increase in the number of average worksite employees, rise in average wages per worksite employee, higher revenues on state unemployment insurance and rise in PEO health insurance revenues.
The consensus estimate for interest on funds held by clients’ revenues is pegged at $15.14 million, indicating 4.4% year-over-year growth.
The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 79 cents per share, indicating growth of 9.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
