Is it finally safe to circle back to some of the stocks that I think have been crushed by AI displacement worries? But while there are real victims of competition from artificial intelligence out there, a ton of proverbial babies got thrown out with the bathwater.

It’s focused on small and medium-sized businesses, but it’s going large too, with a major outsourced human capital management division.

While Paychex kept reporting solid numbers the whole time, Wall Street just didn’t seem to care. But after bottoming in April, the stock’s found its footing of late. Didn’t hurt that when Paychex reported last week, they delivered a good quarter with a strong full-year forecast.
