what happened

Guggenheim reaffirmed Buy ratings on five US companies: Paylocity Holding, AppFolio, ServiceNow, Automatic Data Processing and Paycom Software. TradingView reported the note, citing data from Benzinga.

Paylocity's new target is $200, implying 12.6% upside from the October 22 close of $177.67. AppFolio's target is $239, about 10.0% above its $217.33 close. ServiceNow's is $175, 11.5% above $157. ADP's target stands at $340, 10.4% above $307.94, while Paycom's is $300, 10.0% above $272.61.

The analysts pointed to Paylocity's position in the mid-market, its Elevate Solutions launch and ServiceNow's push into customer service and HR automation. AppFolio's target was raised on a discounted cash flow basis, and Paycom's reflects improved revenue estimates.

why it matters

Ratings from a single broker rarely move the broader market, but they signal how analysts view the HR and workforce software sector. Traders often compare current prices with targets to gauge sentiment across the group.
