Automatic Data Processing stock (ISIN US0530151036) was trading at EUR 228.83 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026, down 0.60 percent versus the EUR 230.20 prior close. The move comes as investors assess ADP's 6.8 percent quarterly revenue growth and the company's scheduled October results.

Quarterly revenue beats expectations

According to MarketBeat on September 5, 2026, ADP reported quarterly revenue of USD 5.47 billion, up 6.8 percent year over year, and EPS of USD 2.64 versus a USD 2.59 consensus estimate. The USD 0.05 EPS beat gives the earnings story a stronger footing than the modest share-price move alone suggests.

Fiscal 2027 guidance stays measured

ADP closed fiscal 2026 with revenue of USD 21.9 billion, up 7 percent, while adjusted EBIT margin expanded 80 basis points and adjusted EPS rose 11 percent, according to The Globe and Mail on September 25, 2026. For fiscal 2027, management expects revenue growth of 5 to 6 percent, adjusted EBIT margin expansion of 70 to 90 basis points and adjusted EPS growth of 9 to 11 percent.

The same report put Employer Services bookings at USD 2.2 billion in fiscal 2026, up 6 percent year over year. That combination of recurring payroll demand and slower guided revenue growth makes execution, rather than headline expansion, the central earnings variable.

October 28 sets the next checkpoint

ADP said on September 28, 2026, that it will release first-quarter fiscal 2027 results before the Nasdaq opens on October 28, 2026, followed by an 8:30 a.m. ET conference call. The earnings release will test whether the company can sustain its fiscal 2027 revenue and margin ranges after pays-per-control growth reached 1 percent in the latest quarter.
