Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, change in share count, and balance-sheet strength, each computed from ADP's SEC filings rather than opinion or sentiment.

Automatic Data Processing earns about 29.9% on its invested capital, which is exceptional. ROIC measures how much profit a company generates per dollar put to work; sustained ROIC above its cost of capital is one of the clearest signs of a real competitive moat. Compare it to ADP's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

Automatic Data Processing runs an operating margin of about 24.2% and a net margin of about 20.1%. Revenue has grown at roughly 7.9% a year recently. High, stable margins usually point to pricing power and operating discipline. Margins are most telling next to growth and returns on capital, all of which feed this quality score.
