October earnings set the next test

According to ADP on September 28, 2026, the first fiscal quarter ended September 30 will be released before the Nasdaq opens on October 28, followed by a conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Profit growth outpaced revenue

ADP's fiscal 2026 net earnings rose 8.2 percent to USD 4.4135 billion, while diluted EPS climbed 9.6 percent to USD 10.94 from USD 9.98. The comparison matters because earnings per share grew faster than revenue, reflecting the effect of share repurchases alongside operating performance.

Employer Services generated USD 14.8314 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue, according to TickerScout. The segment remains the larger part of ADP's business, while the company also operates its Professional Employer Organization segment and holds client funds that generate interest income.
