$209 -> $190
2025-07-21
Reason
Barclays analyst Raimo Lenschow lowered the firm's price target on Paylocity to $190 from $209 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm likes the setup for on-cycle reporting software names into Q2 earnings. After initial uncertainty in April, channel checks for May and especially June were much stronger, the analyst tells investors in a research note. As a result, Barclays expects solid Q2 prints and the chance to guidance increases.
