And pays out 60 of it earnings through difficult depds and has bought back stock on what people think are attractive prices. This does not sound like a company that need your help. Its a Great Company and a great business and the stock has done great for a long period of time the issue for shareholders is not how well the company has done over the past and how well it will do in the future bottom line is adp has underperformed relative to potential. Youre judged relative to your potential, not relative to fat issus quo and this is a company with huge opportunities to improve its profitability. Its not an efficient business, and in fact many things you mentioned explain the reap why are the company has underperformed when you have no debt and have a really profitable business and dominant market share. Those are companies over time that get less efficient because they dont have to be as efficient, and that lack of efficiency becomes an issue for the business Going Forward and becomes a
Good morning. This is nbc10 news today. Im Rosemary Connors. Thanks for being with us. Its 5 30 on this saturday. And we have issued a first alert because of the bitter cold weather. Lets start with that first alert neighborhood forecast. We know youve got a lot of plans today. Meteorologist krystal klei is tracking the record low temp chirs for us. Krystal. Yeah, you know, rosemary, part of the reason we have the first alert in place its not necessarily because its shocking for us to have freezing temperatures.
