Is Paychex stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Paychex stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Paychex's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Paychex's P/E ratio
Paychex's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Paychex shares trade at around 25x 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.
Paychex's PEG ratio
Paychex's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1682. 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 Paychex's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Paychex's EBITDA
Paychex's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.6 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Paychex's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Paychex share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 83.73% of net profits
Recently Paychex has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Paychex shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Paychex's case, that would currently equate to about $4.12 per share.
Paychex's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Paychex's most recent dividend payout was on 25 November 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Paychex's shares ever split?
Paychex's shares were
split on a 3:2 basis on 22 May 2000
. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Paychex shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Paychex shares which in turn could have impacted Paychex's share price.
