Wait For ADP’s Valuation to Improve

On July 27, 2022, Automatic Data Processing (ADP) released strong Q4 and FY2022 results and an encouraging FY2023 outlook. Despite an increase in ADP's adjusted diluted EPS guidance relative to FY2022 results, the sudden surge in ADP's share price has led to a slight deterioration in its valuation from the time of my last analysis. [...]
