ADP Board Raises Dividend For 36th Straight Year

Dow Jones News
Automatic Data Processing Inc.'s (ADP) board raised the
payroll-processing and human-resources outsourcing company's
dividend for the 36th straight year, coming as many corporations
are boosting payouts to shareholders this year as the perceived
need to conserve cash abates.
The company's quarterly dividend will increase by 2 cents to 36
cents a share, at an added expense of about $10 million a
quarter.
ADP last month reported that its fiscal first-quarter earnings
fell 2% on higher expenses owing to recent headcount additions and
acquisition activity. However, the results beat analysts'
expectations as revenue and the number of workers on clients'
payrolls grew, while ADP also raised its guidance for the year.
Shares were up 8 cents at $45.55 in recent trading. The stock is
up about 6% the past year.
