Base pay rose 3.2%; gross pay was up 4.7% ROSELAND, N.J., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Private-sector employment increased by 86,000 jobs in October, according to the ADP National Employment Report® produced by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab ("Stanford Lab").
A dividend that grows faster than inflation turns a modest starting yield into a paycheck that keeps getting bigger, and these three Dividend Aristocrats are raising their payouts at a pace most income stocks can't keep up with.
I believe that Automatic Data Processing is on the cusp of extending its 51-year dividend growth streak with a double-digit percentage payout hike next month. ADP reported a double-beat and meaningfully raised its adjusted diluted EPS growth guidance for FY 2027. The company maintains an AA- S&P credit rating with a stable outlook.
Automatic Data Processing, Inc. continues to outperform, with robust earnings, margin expansion, and a raised FY'27 outlook supporting a bullish long-term thesis. ADP trades at a forward P/E of ~23x, below its 5-year average, but I recommend adding only on meaningful pullbacks for better risk-adjusted returns. Dividend growth, aggressive buybacks, and a fortress balance sheet underpin ADP's appeal for income-focused investors seeking durable shareholder returns.
Dividend Aristocrats underperformed SPY in September but rebounded sharply in October, narrowing the YTD gap.

Dividend growth among Aristocrats accelerated, with the 2026 average increase now at 4.55%, bolstered by recent double-digit hikes.
