Neutral
Reason
Citi raised the firm's price target on Paychex to $139 from $135 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares as he took over coverage of the stock. Paychex's acquisition of Paycor gives it a broader and more comprehensive suite of solutions, but the company's performance greatly relies on the state of the economy and any macro weakness or rise in unemployment would likely result in revenue softness, the analyst tells investors.

Underweight
Reason
Wells Fargo initiated coverage of Paychex with an Underweight rating and $128 price target. The firm cites cyclical concerns for the sell rating. Wells is cautious on the payroll outsourcing group for cyclical reasons and believes a period of potentially rising unemployment and lower interest rates "is not the right time to own these stocks."

Market Perform
Reason
BMO Capital lowered the firm's price target on Paychex to $140 from $143 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The company's Q1 results were "okay", but there remain three areas of uncertainty in the business where guidance assumes improvement in the second half of FY26, the analyst tells investors in a research note. BMO adds that in Management Solutions, Q1 showed some residual frictions within Paycor which guidance assumes will fade, even though the firm sees risk around the drivers of improvement in the organic business against tougher comps, and for Professional Employer Organization segment, improvement in the business requires execution.

Equal Weight
Reason
Morgan Stanley lowered the firm's price target on Paychex to $132 from $148 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm believes the two main contributing factors that drove shares down about 1% after earnings were organic growth underperformance in the core business and recurring revenue growth underperformance from Paycor, the analyst tells investors. To become constructive, the firm would like to see accelerating organic revenue and Paycor recurring revenue growth, the analyst added.

TD Cowen lowered the firm's price target on Paychex to $126 from $140 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The firm said the company posted mostly inline Q1 results as expected while reaffirming 2026 growth ans margin outlooks. Demand is broadly stable, and it sees the Paycor integration progressing as planned.

Reason
Jefferies lowered the firm's price target on Paychex to $130 from $140 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The company's total Q1 revenue met consensus, while operating margin and earnings per share posted "modest" beats, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm said that, overall, Q1 was just okay versus a low bar, and hitting the 2H ramp does not look easy, which should keep shares rangebound at best.
