If you believe PCTY can sustain its faster 13.7% revenue growth while closing the margin gap versus PAYC, then holding or adding selectively may make sense; otherwise, the data favors PAYC on quality-adjusted valuation because PCTY trades at materially richer multiples despite weaker margins and lower returns.
PCTY trades at a clear premium to PAYC on every listed valuation multiple, even though the valuation model implies downside to $71.75 from the current $123.88 price. The gap is partly offset by PCTY’s faster revenue growth, but PAYC’s stronger margins and returns help justify its lower multiples.
