- Nonfarm Payrolls Increased More Than Expected
May 8, 2026
Much as we saw in Wednesday’s private-sector payrolls from ADP (ADP), this morning’s Employment Situation report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) was better than expected: +115K new jobs were filled in April, more than double the +55K consensus estimate. The Unemployment Rate remained steady at +4.3%.
This makes three of the past four months with positive jobs growth. Not only that, but all three of those months — +160K in January, and upwardly revised +185K for March and now +115K — were up by triple digits. (February was revised -23K lower, to -156K — the deepest month of negative jobs growth since the Covid pandemic.) Four of the previous eight months showed negative jobs growth on BLS; for ADP it was four straight months in early 2025. We’re clearly off the lows in the U.S. labor market.
Also as we saw in ADP’s report, Healthcare led the way in jobs growth by industry: +37K. This is followed by Transportation/Warehousing jobs at +30K and Retail Trade, +22K. Information jobs shed -13K (negative for the 16th straight week: is this AI related, or is it too early to tell?), the Federal government -9K and Manufacturing -2K. In general, it’s lower-paying jobs leading the way currently; we see this change when Professional/Business Services and Financials are among the sector leaders.
Wage growth tamed somewhat last month: +0.2% from the expected +0.3% and in-line with the prior month. Year over year, +3.6% missed estimates by 20 basis points (bps), but was up 10 bps month over month. The Average Workweek ticked up slightly to 34.3 hours, but Labor Force Participation languished down near 50-year lows to 61.8%. U-6 (aka “real unemployment”) ratcheted up +20 bps to +8.2%, and half a point higher than the +7.7% we saw last July.
In all, we’re seeing what outgoing Fed Chair Jerome Powell has been seeing: the domestic labor market has been holding its own. Perhaps we could stand a little higher quality within that jobs growth, but compared to where we had been — and where many feared we were headed — the market has to feel placated overall.
Pre-market futures, which had already been in the green ahead of this report, boosted further on the news. We shortly thereafter retreated from early highs, but the Dow is +119 points at this hour, the S&P 500 +32 points, the Nasdaq +210 and the small-cap Russell +13 points.
Earnings Results at a Glance
By sheer volume of the number of companies reporting, this is the busiest week of Q1 earnings season (so far — next week will bring over a thousand quarterly posts, as well). We’ve exhausted most of the marquee names, with NVIDIA (NVDA) the final “Mag 7” company to report in a couple weeks, but we have plenty of stories being told ahead of today’s opening bell:
Story Continues
Wendy’s (WEN) beat bottom-line estimates by +20% to +$0.12 per share (though still well below the +$0.20 per share reported in the year-ago quarter). This was good enough to se the stock gain nearly +4% at this hour, still digging out from its -16.5% hole, year to date.
Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) outpaced estimates by a solid penny to +$0.43 per share this morning, and pre-market shares swung to a positive +1% as a result. The alt-energy infrastructure investment company is still down more than -5% year to date.
Construction Partners (ROAD) swung to a big positive earnings surprise this morning: +$0.18 per share from an expected negative print of -$0.05, for an impressive +460% earnings surprise. The infrastructure company also raised guidance, and shares are up +6.5% so far this morning.
Madison Square Garden (MSGS), however, despite the New York Knicks’ success in the NBA so far this year, posted a big miss: -$0.78 per share versus a positive +$0.66 anticipated. Shares are flat on the news, but the -218% negative surprise is something to be improved upon. The stock is +28.5% year to date.

- RSG Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates on Pricing & Margin Gains
May 8, 2026
Republic Services, Inc. RSG delivered solid first-quarter 2026 results, with earnings per share of $1.70 beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.64 by 3.7%. Earnings increased 7.6% from $1.58 in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues rose 2.6% year over year to $4.11 billion and edged past the consensus mark of $4.10 billion. Disciplined pricing and cost management supported profitability, as the adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 50 basis points to 32.1%.
Republic Services, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Republic Services, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Republic Services, Inc. Quote
RSG’s Pricing Execution Stands Out Despite Volume Drag
Republic Services’ internal growth leaned heavily on price in the quarter. Core price on total revenues increased 5.7%, reflecting continued traction in open market pricing and restricted pricing, even as fuel recovery fees provided only a modest lift.
Volume remained a headwind, with total revenues declining 0.8% on volume, while average yield added 3.4%. Management noted that severe weather weighed on activity during the quarter, but pointed to sequential improvement in several verticals, including landfill and container-related lines.
Republic Services Posts Broad-Based Collection Growth
Collection remained the largest contributor, generating $2.84 billion in revenues in the first quarter. Within the broader portfolio, small-container revenues rose to $1.31 billion, while large-container revenues came in at $768 million and residential revenues totaled $747 million, underscoring the scale of the core business.
Transfer revenues (net) increased to $200 million and landfill revenues (net) rose to $453 million. Environmental solutions revenues (net) declined to $405 million, while “other” revenues increased to $217 million, led by recycling processing and commodity sales of $112 million alongside other non-core revenues.
RSG Expands Segment Margins With Cost Discipline
Profitability improved across the consolidated model, supported by cost-control and underlying operating leverage. Net income was $525 million, translating to a net income margin of 12.8%, up from 12.3% a year ago.
On an adjusted basis, RSG reported $1.32 billion of adjusted EBITDA. By business type, Recycling & Waste produced adjusted EBITDA of $1.24 billion and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 33.6% compared with 33% in the prior-year quarter. Environmental Solutions generated adjusted EBITDA of $78 million with a margin of 19.2%, down from 20.8% last year, reflecting the year-over-year revenue decline in that business.
Story Continues
Republic Services’ Cash Flow Supports Capital Returns
RSG’s cash generation was a notable feature of the quarter. Cash provided by operating activities reached $1.23 billion, while the adjusted free cash flow totaled $984 million, up from $727 million in the year-ago period, aided by earnings growth and working capital timing.
The company continued to balance acquisition activity with shareholder returns. Cash invested in acquisitions was $433 million in the quarter, while total cash returned to shareholders was $507 million, including $314 million in share repurchases and $193 million in dividends. The board also declared a quarterly dividend of 62.5 cents per share, payable July 15, 2026.
RSG Ramps Digital, Sustainability & Growth Investments
Management emphasized continued investment in digital tools and sustainability initiatives aimed at supporting long-term growth and efficiency. On the earnings call, the company highlighted AI-enabled pricing, advanced routing and call-center tools, targeting at least $100 million of annual benefit by 2028, with pricing expected to contribute first as deployments scale.
RSG also reiterated progress in fleet electrification and renewable natural gas. The company ended the quarter with more than 200 electric collection vehicles in operation and expects to exceed 300 by year-end. In RNG, it brought nine projects online during 2025 and expects four additional projects to begin operations in 2026, expanding its landfill gas-to-energy portfolio to 82 projects.
RSG carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

- Has ADP (ADP) Become More Appealing After A 28.5% Share Price Slide?
May 8, 2026
Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE.
Investors may be wondering whether Automatic Data Processing, at around US$214 per share, is starting to look interesting or if the stock still needs a bigger reset before the value case stacks up. The share price has moved 1.0% over the last week and 5.1% over the last month, while year to date it is down 15.3%. Over the last 12 months it has recorded a 28.5% decline, which can change how the risk and return trade off feels. Recent news coverage has focused on Automatic Data Processing's role as a large payroll and HR services provider and how investors are reassessing these types of business models as market conditions evolve. Commentary has also highlighted that after periods of weaker share price returns, some investors start to re-examine what they are willing to pay for established companies like this. Automatic Data Processing currently scores 3 out of 6 on Simply Wall St's valuation checks. The rest of this article will break down what that means through different valuation approaches, before finishing with a framework that can help you judge whether those methods really capture the full picture.
Find out why Automatic Data Processing's -28.5% return over the last year is lagging behind its peers.
Approach 1: Automatic Data Processing Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis
A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a stock could be worth by projecting the cash the company may generate in the future and discounting those cash flows back to today using a required rate of return.
For Automatic Data Processing, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is about $4.84b. Simply Wall St then uses analyst estimates where available and extends them with its own assumptions, producing ten year projections that reach around $10.32b of free cash flow by 2030, with later years gradually increasing based on an estimated growth rate.
Those projected cash flows are discounted back to today and summed to arrive at an estimated intrinsic value of about $566.87 per share. Compared with the current share price of roughly $214, the DCF output implies the stock is about 62.2% below this intrinsic value. On this model alone, Automatic Data Processing appears materially undervalued according to this approach.
Result: UNDERVALUED
Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Automatic Data Processing is undervalued by 62.2%. Track this in your watchlist or portfolio, or discover 51 more high quality undervalued stocks.

Head to the Valuation section of our Company Report for more details on how we arrive at this Fair Value for Automatic Data Processing.
Approach 2: Automatic Data Processing Price vs Earnings
For profitable companies, the P/E ratio is often a useful way to think about value because it links what you pay directly to the earnings the business is generating today.
What counts as a "normal" or "fair" P/E will usually depend on how fast earnings are expected to grow and how predictable those earnings look. Higher growth and lower perceived risk can justify a higher P/E, while slower growth or more uncertainty often lines up with a lower P/E.
Automatic Data Processing is currently trading on a P/E of 19.7x. That sits slightly above the Professional Services industry average of 18.9x and close to the peer group average of 18.8x. On these simple comparisons, the stock is priced in a fairly similar range to its sector.
Simply Wall St also calculates a Fair Ratio of 26.9x for Automatic Data Processing. This proprietary metric estimates the P/E that might be reasonable given factors such as earnings growth, profit margins, industry, market cap and risk profile. Because it blends these company specific inputs, it can offer a more tailored reference point than just comparing the stock with peers or the broader industry.
With a current P/E of 19.7x compared with a Fair Ratio of 26.9x, the stock screens as undervalued on this measure.
Result: UNDERVALUEDNasdaqGS:ADP P/E Ratio as at May 2026

Upgrade Your Decision Making: Choose your Automatic Data Processing Narrative
Earlier it was mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation. Narratives come in as a simple way for you to attach a clear story about Automatic Data Processing to your own numbers, linking what you believe about its future revenue, earnings and margins to a forecast, a fair value, and a decision around whether that fair value looks attractive compared with the current price.
On Simply Wall St’s Community page, Narratives are available as an easy tool used by millions of investors. They let you set assumptions and instantly see how your fair value estimate moves relative to the live share price, which can help you judge if the gap between the two looks wide enough to consider buying, trimming or simply watching.
Narratives are not static either. They update automatically when fresh information comes through, such as new earnings, analyst revisions or news, so your fair value view stays aligned with what is currently known about the company.
For Automatic Data Processing, one investor might build a Narrative around a higher fair value of about US$387.77 per share with stronger margin resilience. Another might lean toward a lower Narrative closer to US$214.00 or a consensus style view around US$256.47, and seeing these different stories side by side can help you decide which one feels closest to how you see the business today.
For Automatic Data Processing, we will make it really easy for you with previews of two leading Automatic Data Processing Narratives:
🐂 Automatic Data Processing Bull Case
Fair value: US$256.47
Gap vs last close: about 16.5% below this narrative fair value
Revenue growth assumption: 5.23% a year
Sees AI driven HR tools, higher value cloud products and acquisitions supporting margins and higher revenue per client over time. Builds in steady international expansion and broader partnerships as support for recurring revenue and a wider client base. Flags competition, slower bookings and higher costs as key risks that could limit how much of the earnings potential is reached.
🐻 Automatic Data Processing Bear Case
Fair value: US$214.00
Gap vs last close: trading roughly in line with this narrative fair value
Revenue growth assumption: 4.91% a year
Assumes slower large client rollouts, lower margin international growth and ongoing AI and platform investment keep a lid on margin expansion. Highlights that PEO and international segments could face pressure from softer volume trends and higher expenses. Uses a lower future P/E and slightly softer margin profile to arrive at a cautious fair value that sits at the bearish end of analyst targets.
If you want to see how your own expectations around growth, margins and multiples compare with these two bookend cases, it can help to review the full range of community views and then stress test your assumptions against the numbers. See what the community is saying about Automatic Data Processing

- April jobs report: Economy adds 115,000 jobs, far better than expected
May 7, 2026
US job growth continued to strengthen in April as the unemployment rate remained flat, offering another sign that the labor market might be stabilizing.
Payrolls rose by 115,000 last month, and the unemployment rate stayed at 4.3%, the Labor Department said Friday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had estimated a median gain of 65,000 jobs following March’s blockbuster increase of 178,000 roles, which was revised upward to 185,000. February’s jobs report was revised lower to a loss of 156,000 positions.
“This is a very strong number, and I think it's hard to argue against the notion right now that the labor market is on solid footing,” Michael Reid of RBC Economics told Yahoo Finance.

Economists have been looking for signs that the labor market, which was on ice for much of 2025, is warming up. There was already one glimmer of positivity this week in private payroll growth, according to data from ADP: Private employers added 109,000 jobs in April, the fastest monthly gain since January 2025. And looking backward, March’s hiring rate improved to its highest level in nearly two years, government data released Tuesday showed, though job openings declined slightly and the layoff rate ticked up.
Friday’s jobs report showed that last month’s gains were, once again, driven in part by the healthcare and social assistance supersector, which added nearly 54,000 roles. Transportation and warehousing also showed some strength, bringing on more than 30,000 jobs, especially among couriers and messengers.
Employment in information, meanwhile, slid by 13,000 roles, and is down by 342,000 since its most recent peak in November 2022, the Labor Department said. Financial activities jobs also declined by 11,000.
“The reduced reliance [on] hiring [in] healthcare in April is particularly encouraging, though the recent deterioration in most of the main employment surveys suggests there is limited near-term scope for employment growth [excluding healthcare] to strengthen further,” Capital Economics wrote in a note on Friday.

While overall monthly payroll growth this year is lower than what was notched in much of 2023 and 2024, there’s a reason why economists aren’t freaked out — and why even a smaller-than-once-typical gain might appear strong.
As the population ages and immigration plummets, the amount of job growth needed to sustain a level unemployment rate is sliding, a point Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell made earlier this year.
He noted in March that while there had been “zero net job creation in the private sector,” that may be “about what the economy needs in terms of dealing with very, very low — nonexistent, really — growth in the labor force, which, of course, we’ve never had in our history.”
