AI Summary

7.0
Positive

PAY now deserves to be viewed as a software-like compounder with real operating leverage and strong FCF, but with the stock already rerated, the key takeaway is that upside now depends on flawless execution and August 3 earnings confirming sustained ~30% growth and margin expansion rather than just “good” results.
