Frequently asked questions

What are the ADP factor grades?

Meaterm scores AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING INC (ADP) on four factors — valuation, growth, profitability and momentum — plus a composite. Each grade is a percentile ranking against the stock's sector, computed nightly from SEC-filed financial data. Grades are statistical rankings, not investment advice or a recommendation to trade.

How is the fair value estimate for ADP calculated?

The estimate is the median of several peer-multiple implied values — peer P/E, EV/EBITDA, P/S and P/B applied to the company's own fundamentals — plus a sell-side consensus target when one is available. Peers come from the same industry, matched by size. It is a statistical reference point, not a price target and not investment advice.

Where does the data on this page come from?

Fundamentals and factor grades are computed by Meaterm from SEC filings and refreshed nightly. Positioning context comes from public CFTC and FINRA releases, and macro series from FRED. Every signal, grade and estimate shown is Meaterm’s own computation.

Is ADP a good stock to invest in?

Meaterm does not answer that question. This page shows how AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING INC (ADP) ranks statistically against sector peers on valuation, growth, profitability and momentum, and where its price sits relative to a peer-multiple estimate. Use it as research context alongside your own analysis — nothing on this page is investment advice.

How often is this page updated?

Factor grades, fundamentals and the company profile refresh nightly after each trading day. The brief layers — macro, catalysts, positioning and news — are composed when the page loads, and the fair value estimate is recomputed with recent quotes during the day.
