ADP Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Q3 FY26 earnings call
ADP framed the AI era as a tailwind rather than a threat: rising workforce and regulatory complexity deepens demand for compliant, accurate HCM even as AI reshapes work at the task level. The quarter's story is disciplined, AI-funded productivity converting into faster margin expansion and record retention, while a rate-sensitive client-funds tailwind flatters headline growth and a softer PEO offsets strength in Employer Services. Management signaled continued margin acceleration and stepped-up capital return into FY27.
