Paylocity: Airbase Integration To Strengthen Positioning
Paylocity is a cloud payroll/HCM software provider with steady growth, recently acquiring Airbase to strengthen its market positioning and product offerings. Despite recent volatility, I maintain an overweight rating on PCTY, projecting a 10% return based on its solid fundamentals and revenue predictability. PCTY's Q2 2025 revenue grew 15.5% YoY, with strong liquidity and a healthy debt-to-equity ratio, though OCF showed seasonal decline.
