Paycom Software Inc (NYSE:PAYC) reported in-line Q4 2025 results but saw its stock fall in after-hours trading due to a cautious 2026 revenue outlook that was below analyst expectations. While the company achieved 10.2% revenue growth in Q4 and 9% for the full year 2025, its forecast of $2.175 billion to $2.195 billion for 2026 implies slower growth than the Street anticipated. Despite solid fundamentals, including high retention and a debt-free balance sheet, investors reacted negatively to the projected deceleration in growth.
