Frequently asked questions
What is Automatic Data Processing Inc's revenue?
Automatic Data Processing Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $21.60B, and consensus projects about $27.07B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is ADP?
In its most recent fiscal year, ADP ran a gross margin of 50.84%, an operating margin of 26.32%, and a net margin of 19.84%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does ADP generate?
ADP produced $4.77B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is ADP's balance sheet healthy?
ADP holds $3.35B in cash and equivalents against $3.97B in long-term debt, on $6.19B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
