A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of MSFT, PLTR, ORCL and SHOP that day, the largest companies in PAYC’s SEC industry; “moved with PAYC” means the same direction and at least half the size.

Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did

Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). PAYC reports after the close, so day 1 is the next close. 3 of 4 times, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

PAYC against four software peers, a year at 100

PAYC is up 25.4% in a year. All four did less: Shopify (+7.5%), Palantir (+4.4%), Microsoft (+3.0%) and Oracle (−56.0%). Weekly closes, Oct 17, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
