Bulls say / Bears say
ADP delivered strong fiscal 2026 execution: revenue rose 7% to $21.9 billion, adjusted EBIT increased 10%, adjusted EPS grew 11%, and management forecasts another 9%–11% of adjusted EPS growth in fiscal 2027. (SEC)
Employer Services showed durable demand, with fiscal-year new business bookings up 6% to $2.2 billion, client revenue retention at 92.1%, and segment margin expanding 60 basis points. (SEC)
The funds-held-for-clients model continues to add high-margin revenue: average client funds balances increased 7% to $40.4 billion and related interest income rose 14% to $1.4 billion in fiscal 2026. (SEC)
Fiscal 2027 revenue growth is guided to 5%–6%, below fiscal 2026’s 7%, while Employer Services retention is expected to decline 10–30 basis points and U.S. pays-per-control growth is forecast at only 0%–1%. (SEC)
PEO Services profitability weakened, with segment margin down 110 basis points in fiscal 2026; management expects only 3%–5% growth in PEO revenue excluding zero-margin benefits pass-throughs for fiscal 2027. (SEC)
Client-funds interest income was a significant earnings tailwind, rising 14% in fiscal 2026, leaving results exposed to lower reinvestment yields; ADP itself identifies interest-rate trends as a risk to profitability. (SEC)
