Market Focus00:11

On July 17, Automatic Data Processing rose 3.09% in regular trading, trading at $255.275/share, with turnover of $153 million.

On the news front, the broader Human Resource & Employment Services sector surged as strong labor market data continued to fuel optimism. ADP's recently released June private sector employment report estimated approximately 265,000 new jobs added, well above prior months' pace. This robust hiring environment directly benefits ADP's core payroll processing and HCM platform businesses, as higher employment translates to greater transaction volumes.

Additionally, RBC Capital Markets recently projected ADP will deliver a modest fiscal Q4 beat when it reports on July 29, forecasting revenue of $5.46 billion versus $5.44 billion consensus and EPS of $2.62 versus $2.59 consensus, citing stable client retention and bookings growth in the upper half of the 4%-7% guidance range. Within the sector, ManpowerGroup surged 34.02%, Robert Half rose 12.23%, First Advantage Corp. gained 5.83%, Paycom added 3.65%, and Paychex climbed 3.16%.
