Summary
Paylocity delivered a strong fiscal Q4, with adjusted EBITDA of $145.5M beating consensus by 10.6% and adjusted operating income of $120.2M topping estimates. Revenue rose 11% year-over-year, driven by a 7% client base expansion and higher average revenue per client. The company initiated FY27 guidance, projecting revenue of $1.88B-$1.895B and adjusted EBITDA of $690M-$700M, signaling confidence in sustained growth. This follows the Q3 beat and $1B buyback increase in May, and the recent Aidora acquisition. The stock repurchased $398.1M in fiscal 2026, underscoring capital return commitment. With shares trading at 16x forward earnings, the beat and outlook could drive upward revisions.
