Paychex, Inc. Reports Strong First Quarter Revenue Growth and Raises Outlook

Paychex, Inc. announced a 17% increase in total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, reaching $1.5 billion, driven by strong performance in Management Solutions and higher interest on funds held for clients. The company reported adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) growth of 5% to $1.22, despite a 10% decrease in diluted EPS to $1.06 due to higher expenses. Paychex successfully integrated Paycor, achieving cost and revenue synergies earlier than expected. The company also raised its full-year adjusted diluted EPS growth outlook to a range of 9% to 11%.
