On September 9, Automatic Data Processing Inc fell 3.17% in regular trading, trading at $268.89/share, with turnover of $175 million. The decline came despite a positive announcement that the company expanded its partnership with Amazon Web Services.

According to a joint announcement, Automatic Data Processing Inc and AWS have broadened their collaboration to embed artificial intelligence features into ADP's payroll and human resources software. The partnership centers on AWS modernizing ADP's cloud infrastructure and accelerating the secure deployment of AI tools, including expanding ADP Assist to automate routine HR and payroll tasks, integrating generative AI into ADP Lyric HCM, and organizing ADP's workforce dataset on AWS. Financial terms were not disclosed.

However, the broader Human Resource & Employment Services sector experienced significant selling pressure, overwhelming the positive company-specific catalyst. Among sector peers, Robert Half fell 5.69%, Paycom dropped 5.02%, Paylocity declined 4.47%, Paychex slid 4.09%, and Kanzhun Limited lost 1.89%, reflecting broad-based weakness across employment services stocks.
