Paychex, Inc. (PAYX) forecast

Paychex, Inc. (PAYX) forecast: price $118.12, trailing P/E 22.28, forward P/E 19.82. How to read the street's path.

The live PAYX price is $118.12. Trailing P/E is 22.28 and forward P/E is 19.82. The forecast that matters is the earnings path those ratios imply, not a single target price.

A forward P/E below the trailing P/E means the consensus expects earnings to rise. The reverse means the market is looking at a peak. Neither is a schedule. Analyst targets are useful as a range of models. They are not a contract. Discounted cash flow is the long form: cash flows, a discount rate, and a terminal value you can argue with.
