The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic was unexpected, prompting government leaders to impose hard lockdowns globally. It limited business transactions and capacity, which led to massive losses and sudden shutdowns. It took quite some time for businesses to recover as restrictions eased.
Even so, it has regained its footing as many companies reopened and rehired employees.
On a lighter note, these unprecedented events opened many surprising business opportunities regardless of size. Many business owners realized their company could survive even if employees worked at home. This discovery led to the rise of remote work flexibility. And even if many businesses have already implemented return-to-office policies, hybrid work setup is now a popular trend.

These solutions are transforming the labor market. They are crucial for boosting employee retention and ensuring efficient payroll and workflow management in the era of hybrid work.
In addition, remote work is deeply tied to high travel demand. The pent-up demand in the industry remains high and is poised to fully recover in 2024. Winter and spring travel expectations are still rosy, even if the autumn hype has already ebbed. ..."

... Lastly, the HCM solution industry does not face overcapacity, unlike many other industries. The number of providers is still limited, so demand elasticity is low. There are few substitutes, and competitors maintain product differentiation. Publicly traded companies enjoy much higher demand, propelled by their popularity and huge market presence.

Paycom (PAYC) is our third pick. It is the smallest company among the three, but its expansion in recent years helped it go head-to-head with much larger firms.

As for sustainability, all three companies show very high liquidity levels. The low and negative Net Debt/EBITDA Ratio indicates adequate cash reserves and impeccable core earnings. These are enough to cover all its borrowings. These companies can cover all borrowings in less than a year.
Concerning their valuation, all stocks appear to be much cheaper than their five-year average. PAYC had the most notable decrease in PE Ratio for five years. However, PAYX remains the most affordable among the three. Its difference from ADP is still very low, though.
Lastly, if we analyze the stock price movements over the past decade, all three stocks had double-digit annual returns. They even exceeded the S&P (SPX) average, which their lower sensitivity to macroeconomic shocks can drive. ...
