John Gibson, president and CEO of Paychex, said the company finished fiscal 2026 with "strong momentum," reporting double-digit revenue and earnings growth in the fourth quarter and full year. He stated that the company accelerated organic revenue growth in each quarter and raised earnings-per-share guidance twice during the year. Gibson attributed the performance to the company's execution on strategic priorities, including expanding into the enterprise market, strengthening its advisory services, and advancing its AI capabilities. On CNBC's Mad Money, Gibson said he sees "no signs of layoffs, no signs of recession" and described "more resilience and more acceleration in small business growth." He argued that technology revolutions "have evolved jobs" rather than destroyed them. Gibson highlighted Paychex's WISE database, which he said draws on more than 26 trillion data points, and noted that the company has embedded it into its platforms and is offering it on a standalone basis to help businesses with compliance. He also said that Paychex's enterprise business is "growing faster than it's grown" and that retention among clients with 100 or more employees is at its highest level in his 13 years at the company.

“Based upon our early progress on the integration and our increased understanding of the opportunities we have gained since closing, we are raising our cost synergy expectations to approximately $90 million in fiscal year 2026. The actions we have already taken give us high confidence in achieving the synergies.”
“We are observing a mix of both optimism and uncertainty within the market and our client base. Many businesses are frozen as they wait for more clarity about a number of macro issues such as tariffs, inflations, and taxes. The hard data continues to indicate that small businesses remain fundamentally healthy despite th...”

To the extent that we have excess cash, our primary way to return that to shareholders is through dividend versus share buybacks. We will certainly look to deliberate deleverage and that will...”

“Our fiscal year 26 cost synergy target remains approximately $90 million. We are pursuing additional synergies beyond this target while retaining our flexibility to reinvest those gains for additional growth and innovation investments.”
