Automatic Data Processing IncDeclares dividend, beats Q4, and guides fiscal 2027 growth.

Automatic Data Processing declared a regular quarterly dividend of US$1.70 per share, payable on October 1, 2026, to shareholders of record as of September 11, 2026, while its latest National Employment Report signaled a rebound in U.S. private-sector hiring. The company also reported stronger-than-expected Q4 2026 results and issued guidance for revenue, EPS, and margin expansion in fiscal 2027. The maintained payout and improving labor-market data reinforce confidence in ADP's payroll and employment analytics franchise, though the key catalyst remains adoption of Next Gen products like Workforce Now Next Gen and Lyric. ADP's narrative projects $25.9 billion revenue and $5.6 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 5.7% yearly revenue growth and about a $1.2 billion earnings increase from $4.4 billion today.
