Market Sentiment Analysis
Equity futures are lower this morning amid renewed tensions between the US and Iran, but they remain near record highs. US equity markets reached a CAPE ratio of 40:1, which has happened only twice in history: 1929 and 1999, both of which were among the worst market crashes in US history. Still, the VIX remains within its average range, adding to risks, while bearish trading volumes are rising.

The latest addition is a command-driven AI engine for employee data searches, but it is more hype than a breakthrough in HR management.
So, why am I bullish on PAYC following its post-earnings advance?
Paycom Software reported revenues of $571.9 million and earnings per share of $3.15, besting expectations of $564.4 million and $2.99, respectively. I remain bullish amid low valuations, despite its recent advance and macroeconomic issues, while its dividend continuation and insider buying add bullish catalysts. PAYC also benefits from excellent cost control and sector-wide bullishness.
