<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Insider transactions should be considered alongside other factors when making investment decisions, as they can offer important insights.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.

These stocks have high dividend growth + high free cash flow yield

Paycom Software (PAYC) is slated to announce its third-quarter earnings on October 30. While strong demand for its cloud-based HR tools continues, rising costs and margin pressures from ongoing AI investments raise concerns. Should you invest in PAYC before its earnings release? Read more to find out… Paycom Software, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PAYC/">PAYC</a>) will report its fiscal 2024 third-quarter earnings later this month, on <a href="https://investors.paycom.com/news/news-details/2024/Paycom-Software-Inc.-Announces-Third-Quarter-2024-Earnings-Release-Date-and-Conference-Call/default.aspx">October 30</a>. In this piece, we will determine whether Paycom is a buy or a sell ahead of its earnings release.
With a market cap of $9.39 billion, PAYC provides cloud-based human capital management (HCM) solutions tailored for small to mid-sized businesses across the U.S. Its all-in-one platform integrates payroll, HR, and talent management functions, helping companies manage their workforce more efficiently, from hiring to retirement.
While Paycom's revenue growth slowed to high single digits by the end of the first half of 2024, it aligns closely with its projected 10% growth target. Moreover, the company's revenue is expected to grow, thanks to the demand for innovative tools like Beti and GONE, which streamline operations by reducing non-productive hours and boosting client efficiency.
For the third quarter, analysts expect the company's revenue to increase 10.1% year-over-year to $447.18 million. However, its <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/eps.asp">earnings per share</a> is forecasted to sit at $1.62, down 8.5% from the prior-year period. Nevertheless, the company has an impressive earnings history, having beaten the consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
In the last reported quarter, PAYC exceeded the consensus revenue estimate by $1.15 million, while its adjusted EPS of $1.62 came in slightly above the forecasted $1.60. Given this performance, the upcoming earnings report has the potential for another beat.
Over the past three months, shares of PAYC have gained 1.6%, though they are still down 20.9% year-to-date, closing the latest trading session at $163.57
Here are the financial aspects of PAYC that could influence its price performance in the near term:
Solid Financials
For the second quarter, which ended June 30, 2024, PAYC's total revenue increased 9.1% year-over-year to $437.51 million. Its adjusted gross profit grew 6.1% over the prior-year period to $357.79 million. The company's operating income stood at $95.14 million, up 9% year-over-year.
In addition, its net income came in at $67.97 million and $1.20 per share, representing an increase of 5.4% and 8.1%, respectively, from the same period last year. Also, its cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents at the end of the period rose 11.6% from the prior-year period to $2.61 billion.
Favorable Annual Analyst Estimates
Street expects PAYC's EPS for the current year (ending December 2024) to increase marginally from the year-ago value to $7.78, while its revenue estimate of $1.87 billion reflects a growth of 10.3% year-over-year.

POWR Ratings Exhibit Mixed Prospects

The POWR Ratings are calculated by taking into account 118 different factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.

Bottom Line
While there's optimism about Paycom's potential to capitalize on continued demand for its solutions, the company's focus on AI and innovation to enhance the client experience may impact its margins in the near term. In the first half of 2024, topline growth moderated, and higher expenses led to margin contraction. Although revenue is expected to grow, margins will likely remain under pressure.
If top line growth continues to slow, it could further weigh on profitability, potentially leading to bottom-line contraction and a weaker valuation, which could hurt the stock's performance. Given PAYC's high volatility, with a five-year beta of 1.18, the stock's price movements tend to be more pronounced than the broader market. This volatility could create future buying opportunities if the price dips lower. Thus, it could be wise for investors to monitor the stock closely in the coming months.
