Automatic Data Processing earnings preview: what the record says

Automatic Data Processing (ADP) is scheduled to report earnings on Oct 28, 2026, before the open. The consensus estimate calls for EPS of $2.79 on revenue of $5.53B. Options are pricing a move of about ±3.8% for the first session after the report.

Across its last 8 reports, ADP beat the EPS consensus 8 times out of 8 with a figure on file, and the stock moved an average of 3.0% on the first trading day, closing higher 6 of 8 times. That first-day move was larger than the options-implied move in 2 of 8 reports. Measured over five sessions, the average move was 4.0%.

The ±3.8% now priced is above the 3.0% ADP has averaged, so options are already paying for a bigger reaction than usual. Historically, ADP has usually stayed inside its implied move. Beats have mostly been rewarded: ADP closed higher after 6 of its 8 EPS beats.
