Paychex, Inc. reported its third-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2025, revealing an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.49, which exceeded analyst expectations by $0.01. However, the company's revenue of $1.51 billion fell short of estimates by $1 million, reflecting a year-over-year growth of 4.86%. The net income for the quarter was reported at $519.3 million. Despite the earnings beat, Paychex noted that customer employment levels were softer than anticipated, influenced by weather-related challenges and significant fires in California. The company indicated that paycheck growth was slower than expected due to a decrease in bonuses compared to the previous year. Separately, Paysign, Inc. also announced its quarterly earnings, with shares increasing by 4.8% in pre-market trading.
