If you believe PAYC can sustain high-teens to low-20s growth-quality multiples despite the current valuation being above the P/E-implied price, then hold or accumulate on pullbacks because the business fundamentals are clearly stronger than TGT’s even though the modeled upside is negative.
PAYC’s implied price of $143.60 is 12.4% below the current price of $163.96, indicating the P/E-based view points to downside rather than upside. However, PAYC also trades within its historical band, which tempers the signal and suggests the stock is not deeply stretched on the provided ranges.
