On CAPS, 95% of the 1,215 members who have rated Paychex believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star mattro88 and tekennedy.

Just last month, mattro88 tapped the stock as an ideal way to get paid while you wait: "Jobs growth and higher interest rates will benefit Paychex. Both are on the way in the next year or two. Till then, the dividend is good."

In a pitch from two weeks later, tekennedy also advised Fools to start cashing in on Paychex:

1) Market leader (in an industry with scale advantages)
2) In a fragmented market
3) Earning high returns on invested capital
4) With significant room to grow

Add to this that the company has the ability to cross sell its existing customers new products leading to a further avenue for revenue/margin growth. I also like its focus on smaller customers as this seems to have boosted margins considerably. ... With the current market closer to fair value I am going more toward investments like this which have a nice yield and will perform steadily.
