Valuing Paycom Soft stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Paycom Soft's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Paycom Soft's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Paycom Soft shares trade at around 19x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Paycom Soft's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.0675. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Paycom Soft's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Paycom Soft's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $634.9 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Paycom Soft's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 18.96% of net profits
Recently Paycom Soft has paid out, on average, around 18.96% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.95% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Paycom Soft shareholders could enjoy a 0.95% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Paycom Soft's case, that would currently equate to about $1.5 per share.
While Paycom Soft's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Paycom Soft is investing more in its future growth.
Paycom Soft's most recent dividend payout was on 9 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Paycom Soft's shares have ranged in value from as little as $139.5 up to $371.1552. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Paycom Soft's is 1.16. This would suggest that Paycom Soft's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
