Our first weekly question to $ADP remains unanswered -What are $ADP•s margins by sub-segment?
Your vote is important. Vote the GOLD Proxy Card Today.
Question:
What are ADP’s margins in Employer Services by sub-segment (Small-Business (“SMB”), Mid-Market, Enterprise, and International), excluding float and allocating
corporate expenses?
Is ADP earning comparable margins to Paychex (-41%) in its SMB business? If so, that would imply 12% margins for the rest of Employer Services.
