ADP stock holds steady after fiscal 2025 growth

ADP stock (Automatic Data Processing, Inc.) is framed by fiscal 2025 revenue of $20.6 billion, up 8% from the prior year, and adjusted diluted EPS of $9.60, up 9% year over year, according to the companys fiscal 2025 results.

Fiscal 2025 growth stays visible

Automatic Data Processing, Inc. reported fiscal 2025 revenue of $20.6 billion, which increased 8% versus fiscal 2024, while adjusted diluted EPS reached $9.60, a 9% rise from the prior year. The company also said adjusted EBIT margin improved 20 basis points to 26.8% in fiscal 2025.

Those three figures matter because they show that the business entered fiscal 2026 with both top-line and earnings momentum. For investors, the margin trend is often the cleaner signal, because a 20 basis point improvement can indicate operating leverage even when revenue growth is mid-single digit to high-single digit.

Guidance points to 4% to 5%

For fiscal 2026, ADP said it expects revenue growth of 4% to 5%, adjusted diluted EPS growth of 8% to 10%, and adjusted EBIT margin expansion of 20 to 40 basis points. That outlook gives the stock a clear comparison base for the next four quarters.

The comparison is important: fiscal 2025 revenue grew 8%, but the fiscal 2026 revenue guide is lower at 4% to 5%, while EPS growth guidance stays higher at 8% to 10%. That combination suggests the market will likely focus on margin discipline and execution in the payroll and human capital management franchise.

Payroll and HCM remain the core

ADP built its fiscal 2025 performance on recurring payroll and human capital management demand, the same core areas that usually shape investor expectations for the company. The product mix matters because recurring service revenue tends to provide more stability than one-off contract wins.

In practical terms, the companys most important product set is still its payroll and HCM platform, which supports small, mid-market, and enterprise clients. The value for shareholders lies in how consistently those services convert into revenue growth, margin expansion, and higher EPS over full fiscal years.

Stock level and venue

In the absence of a dated market quote in the available material, the relevant anchor is the fiscal 2025 record rather than a live session price.
