The payroll and HR services company ended fiscal 2026 with Employer Services business bookings up 6% year over year to $2.2 billion, and management guided to 4-7% bookings growth for fiscal 2027, partly driven by its AI platform known as the Zone.

ADP's Lyric enterprise product posted a 94% year-over-year increase in live clients and a 50% improvement in pipeline, with new logos contributing 70% of opportunities. ADP currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
