I own 80 shares of ADP at an average cost basis of $147.92 per share. Following this increase, my yield on cost is 4.60%. (ADP's forward yield is 2.66% at $255.22 per share).
Since I opened my position in February 2020, the stock has delivered a total return of 90%, including $2,034.90 in dividends. That's a splendid annualized rate of return of 12.8%!
ADP became DivGro's 53rd Home Run stock in October 2024 when the stock doubled my original capital outlay.
