If you believe PAYC’s high-margin SaaS economics and 8.9% growth can persist while the 1.80 Altman Z-Score does not worsen, then the current price looks attractive because PAYC trades below the P/E-implied value and within its historical band despite stronger profitability than WMT.
PAYC trades at 20.3x P/E versus WMT at 40.8x, yet the model’s implied price for PAYC is $329.74, or 101.1% above the current price of $163.96. The gap is driven by PAYC’s higher margin profile and faster growth, though the DCF range of $111.62-$151.01 suggests less upside than the P/E-based estimate.
