Stocks to Watch as May's Jobs Report Beats Economists' Expectations: PCTY, MMS
The broader indexes saw a nice uptick on Friday as May's Jobs report came in better than expected, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rising over +1%. Driving the stock market's uptick, U.S. employers added 139,000 jobs, which came in above most economists' expectations of 125,000-130,000, while the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.2%. Also helping to appease tariff uncertainty was that wage growth outpaced inflation, with average hourly earnings rising 3.9% year over year compared to April's latest reading of a 2.3% inflationary uptick (Consumer Price Index). Notably, the next inflation report is set for Wednesday, June 11, when the Fed releases the latest CPI data. That said, here are a few stocks investors will want to consider following May's optimistic jobs report, with payroll stocks being of interest in particular. Image Source: Federal Reserve Economic Data Paylocity PCTY is a cloud-based payroll and human capital management (HCM) software solutions provider to keep an eye on. Notably, Paylocity has continued an impressive streak of surpassing earnings expectations, most recently beating EPS estimates for its fiscal third quarter by 16% in May. Paylocity has now exceeded the Zacks EPS Consensus for 26 consecutive quarters with an average EPS surprise of 15.4% over the last four quarters. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Meanwhile, government health and human services program provider Maximus MMS is benefiting from a pleasant trend of rising EPS revisions and trades at a very reasonable 10.8X forward earnings multiple. Glamorizing Maximus' attractive P/E valuation, fiscal 2025 and FY26 EPS estimates have risen nearly 7% and 4% in the last 30 days, respectively, with the company blasting earnings expectations for its fiscal second quarter by 47% last month (Q2 EPS of $2.01 versus $1.37 Consensus). Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Other payroll stocks to consider include HCM software providers Dayforce DAY and Paychex PAYX, along with outsourcing company Barrett Business Services BBSI which all land a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Furthermore, certain medical and hospitality-related stocks are appealing as May's Jobs report showed job growth was strongest in the healthcare and leisure/hospitality sectors, which added 62,000 and 48,000 jobs, respectively.

Five Below: Strong Q1 Comparable Sales
Five Below beat analyst expectations across the board, reporting strong comparable sales growth of 7.1%. The second quarter outlook is solid, although comparable sales growth will slow as the year goes on. Tariffs and economic uncertainty aren't yet having a negative impact on customer purchasing trends or the bottom line. 10 stocks we like better than Five Below › Here's our initial take on Five Below's (NASDAQ: FIVE) fiscal 2025 first-quarter financial report. Metric Q1 FY24 Q1 FY25 Change vs. Expectations Revenue $811.9 million $970.5 million +19.5% Beat Earnings per share (adjusted) $0.60 $0.86 +43% Beat Comparable sales growth (2.3%) 7.1% +9.4 pp n/a New store openings 61 55 -10% n/a Five Below reported solid first-quarter results despite a complex macroeconomic backdrop. Comparable sales rose by 7.1%, driven largely by an increase in transactions, while total revenue jumped 19.5%. The company opened 55 new stores during the quarter, and those stores are performing well, according to Five Below CEO Winnie Park. The retailer is navigating tariffs and global economic uncertainty, and so far, those potential headwinds haven't had much of an impact on Five Below's business. Operating income and adjusted earnings per share rose significantly from the first quarter of fiscal 2025, with the latter beating analyst expectations. For the fiscal second quarter, Five Below expects to open around 30 net new stores and produce comparable sales growth between 7% and 9%. Total revenue should come in between $975 million and $995 million, while adjusted EPS is expected between $0.50 and $0.62. For the full fiscal year, the company sees comparable sales growth between 3% and 5%, 150 net new stores, revenue between $4.33 billion and $4.42 billion, and adjusted EPS between $4.25 and $4.72. Share prices of Five Below were up about 2% in after-hours trading on Wednesday soon after the release of the first-quarter report. The company beat analyst estimates for revenue and adjusted EPS, and its second-quarter outlook looked solid. However, the full-year outlook called for slower comparable sales growth, which could be keeping the stock price in check. While tariffs and economic uncertainty aren't having much of an impact on Five Below right now, the situation is fluid. The company sourced about 60% of its purchases from domestic vendors in 2024, although it's difficult to know how exposed those vendors are to tariffs. The timing and makeup of trade deals the U.S. strikes with other countries will have an impact on Five Below's costs, and consumer behavior remains a wildcard. Investors should listen to Five Below's earnings call on Wednesday evening for more information from management on how tariffs are affecting the full-year outlook.
