Since 1995, has returned 14% annually. Margins have been growing as they've grown beyond payroll processing among small/medium-sized businesses, which offer growth. They benefitted from higher interest rates. He continues to buy it, though it's currently expensive. They project 6-8% revenue growth but will be hit if the economic weakens or rates decline.

COMMENT

They report Thursday. Pays a terrific dividend, but unfairly this name attracts analyst downgrades even when it does well.

DON'T BUY

A growthier name in the space. Likes the space, but pay attention to what you're paying for growth. Economic weakening will impact it. He's seeing better opportunities in larger-cap, software names like MSFT and AAPL.

BUY

They process payrolls for small/medium businesses. They just reported solid top and bottom line beats and raised guidance for this fiscal year. It pulled back hard earlier this quarter, but rebounded hard today.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 24/21, Down 11%) Proxy for small business in the US. Announced 2023 revenue would come down to 7% revenue growth. The business is really good. Every 1/4 interest rate increase adds 3M in profits to earnings. Not the time to buy in a big way. Earnings and multiple contraction could easily push it below $100.
COMMENT
They report Thursday. They're had a good run. If they report strong, then the Fed will hike rates higher/faster.
BUY
Today, they reported a revenue beat and raised their quarterly guidance.
BUY
Like Intuit, it offers services and products to enable people to start their own businesses, people who quit their company jobs to work for themselves.
BUY
Down over 4% today despite a better than expected quarter: a clean top and bottom line beat and strong guidance. Was a dependable stock, but has pulled back over recession worries. Their call said that the pace of small business job growth slowed in May, though management sees no recession ahead.
BUY
They report Wednesday and have reported strong numbers recently. Small and medium businesses continue to hire which benefits this PAYX. They collect interest while people their cheques, a source of extra revenue.
TOP PICK
For every .25 % interest rate increase in USA, company makes $3 million. Trading at all time high. Earnings and performance numbers exceeded expectations. 12% growth in revenue and profits. Very little debt and strong cash flows.
BUY
America's 2nd-highest payroll processor which thrives when the employment is strong, like now. Today, they reported a blow-out quarter: an 11-cent earnings beat above 80-cents; beat sales, which are 13% YOY; and raised their full-year forecast for the second straight quarter from 10-12% to 18-20% for 2022. Shares exploded 5% today. This can run higher. It has a habit of reporting strong numbers, then shares sell-off, but not this time.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It reports Wednesday. They always report a solid quarter, then shares get hammered, which is when you buy.
BUY
They blew away their report 2 weeks ago. Anyone that helps companies hire workers during this labour shortage wins.
