STOCKSERVICES-COMPUTER PROCESSING & DATA PREPARATIONUpdated 2026-06-07
Here’s whether Automatic Data Processing (ADP) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+1.74% over 10 days). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); weak 1-year return of -28.9%. Currently 29.7% off its 52-week high. Score: -1/7.
ADP is trading below its 200-day MA ($246.57) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 67.1 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -28.9% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 53.3%). The current 29.7% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
