Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Paylocity’s new finance and IT solution suites would enable the firm to expand into customer back-office software stacks and can become meaningful growth drivers.

Bears

Given its exposure to cyclical small and midsize businesses, Paylocity faces downside risk from declines in labor force participation rates and new business formations.
