What the Analysts think about ADP

Analyst projections of the future price of Automatic Data Processing stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
ADP’s first quarter delivered 6% revenue growth and 13% adjusted EPS growth, prompting it to raise fiscal 2027 revenue-growth guidance to about 6% and adjusted EPS-growth guidance to 10%–12%. (ADP, Investing.com)
ADP Assist added more than 100,000 clients in the quarter, while Lyric HCM expanded into the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Wider adoption and geographic reach give ADP room to extend its HCM offering and improve service productivity. (ADP)
Employer Services new-business bookings reached a first-quarter record, with client retention also better than expected. Management maintained its 4%–7% bookings-growth outlook, supporting continued growth from winning and retaining clients. (The Motley Fool)
Although US pays per control grew 2% in the quarter, ADP expects only about 1% growth for fiscal 2027. That points to limited payroll headcount growth as a source of revenue expansion. (ADP, The Motley Fool)
Management still expects Employer Services client retention to fall by 10–30 basis points in fiscal 2027, citing the risk that more clients may go out of business. That could weigh on recurring revenue even if new bookings hold up. (The Motley Fool)
Client-funds interest revenue rose 15% in the quarter, while PEO margins were flat as higher zero-margin benefits pass-throughs offset lower operating costs. This mix shows that headline revenue growth does not always convert into stronger segment margins. (ADP)
