What Happened Paycom Software, Inc. (PAYC) filed an 8‑K on May 4, 2026 announcing a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 per share and Board approval of a new stock repurchase plan authorizing up to $2.0 billion in share buybacks. The dividend will be paid on June 8, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 26, 2026. The repurchase program has no expiration date and allows purchases in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchases), or by other means permitted under federal securities laws.

Key Details

• Dividend: $0.375 per share; payment date June 8, 2026; record date May 26, 2026.
• Repurchase authorization: up to $2.0 billion of common stock; no expiration date.
• Repurchase methods: open market, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, Rule 10b5‑1 plans.
• Timing, amount and use of funds (including possible borrowings under the company’s revolving credit facility) will be determined by a Board committee and may be suspended or discontinued.

Why It Matters A regular cash dividend provides direct cash returns to shareholders and signals management’s confidence in cash flow. The sizable $2.0 billion buyback authorization gives Paycom flexibility to reduce share count and return capital to investors, which can support earnings per share over time if executed. Investors should note the repurchase program has no set timetable and is subject to market conditions and Board discretion; use of debt to fund repurchases was disclosed as a possibility and forward‑looking statements are subject to risks described in Paycom’s SEC filings.
