Paycom reported Q2 2026 results on August 5, 2026. Earnings per share were $2.78, ahead of the $2.38 estimate by 17.00%. Revenue of $531.2 million beat the $513.1 million consensus by 3.52%. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS rose about 35% from $2.06 and revenue about 10% from $483.6 million.

The longer history shows steady growth with a clear seasonal pattern. The first quarter has delivered the highest EPS of each year in the table, and Q1 2026 set the highs at $3.15 per share and $571.9 million in revenue. Annual EPS rose every year, from $6.16 in 2022 to $7.78 in 2023, $8.20 in 2024 and $9.25 in 2025, about 50% higher over three years. The first half of 2026 totals $5.93, about 22% above a year earlier. Paycom beat the EPS estimate in 19 of the 20 quarters; the only miss was Q3 2025, by 0.50%.

Paycom reported third-quarter results between October 30 and November 5 in each of the past five years. That points to late October or early November 2026 for the next report. It will show whether the year-over-year growth continues into Q3.
