Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
Automatic Data Processing, Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is fair. You pay 18.9× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.
What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
