With Paycom Software being the first among its peers to report earnings this season, we don't have anywhere else to look at to get a hint at how this quarter will unravel for software stocks, but the technology segment has been facing declining investor sentiment following the fears around raising interest rates, with the stocks down on average 18.4% over the last month. Paycom Software is down 21.5% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $416.4, compared to share price of $281.47.
One way to find opportunities in the market is to watch for generational shifts in the economy. Almost every company is slowly finding itself becoming a technology company and facing cybersecurity risks and as a result, the demand for cloud-native cybersecurity is skyrocketing. This company is leading a massive technological shift in the industry and with revenue growth of 70% year on year and best-in-class SaaS metrics it should definitely be on your radar.
