This met a high level screen to indicate a buy and strong outperform against its peers (other tickers in its industry). My 1st version of this spreadsheet devles deep into the company's balnace sheet and recent income statements, combined with other relevant price data for the company including insider/institutional holdings, short interest, debt levels, etc.
Testing capabilities of this 1st version of my automated, valuation spreadhseet matched with my personal criteria and see how it holds up.

Dominant provider of payroll processing for large companies. Wide moat, above average, and growing, dividend makes for a solid Total Return investment.

This "dividend aristrocrat", according to Dividends4Life, continues to increase its cash dividend year after year, with room to spare, and has outperformed the S&P historically.

They are well managed enough for their stock price to slightly outperform over the long long term

Virtually no debt, nice fat dividend, reasonable payout, market leader. All it has to do is grow with the economy and keep paying dividends and you have very low risk stable 9% return (3.5% dividend, 5.5% earnings growth - avg long term historical market trend). Anything else is gravy....

ADP is a huge service to employers with complications driven on taxes and ever growing issues per employee per state line. New business will find them worth the $$$ and existing businesses will continue to use their services down the road.

This stock has weathered the recession much better than most. 40% of their business is doing payroll for other companies. As unemployment improves later this year business will improve. Also this Co. invests
payroll dollars and makes money on cashflow. This will also improve when interest rates get off the floor.
Solid company good dividends.

One of the "old reliable" type companies. This is a company that is increasing its profits and its dividend in this stressed economy.

I'm the technical owner of our ADP applications at my company. Their offerings are comparable to their competitors, their support is reasonable, and their systems are sound although inscrutable at times. However, ADP has a strong economic moat due to the difficulty encounter when attempting to switch away from their applications. We spec'ed out a project to replace just one of their systems and it came out to be so expensive that it would have taken decades to recoup the cost, so we will continue with ADP systems for the forseeable future. ADP is known as the industry leader in business systems and has no serious competition to that title. It has competitors, for sure, but none of them have the reputation that ADP has.
ADP is also a dividend aristocrat.

I believe this market is turning, and I'm seeing so many doomsday naysayers get strident that with this pick, and a few others, I'm largely just going exactly anti- their stockpicking, expecting to be rewarded. So this pick and pitch don't have a lot to do with (in this case) ADP, but as a big-cap four-star stock that has held up quite well in the face of a market downturn, I think this was a very poor Underperform pick made by A., an ultra-pessimistic doomsday naysayer. We'll see how this pans out. If I'm wrong, I'll give credit where it's due. --David
