ADP reported record 92.1% client retention, 7% Employer Services revenue growth and a 130-basis-point margin expansion in Q3 FY26, underlining the stickiness of its payroll and compliance franchise. The company earns substantial high-margin float income—guiding FY26 client fund interest to $1.34–$1.35 billion—while returning capital via share buybacks and a 50-plus year dividend growth streak. Management raised FY26 adjusted EPS growth guidance to 10–11%, and ADP’s low-beta profile and recurring fees support resilient long-term compounding despite risks if float income and employment soften. » Mais em finance.yahoo.com
