Hallo!

Ich möchte mit dieser Threaderöffnung auf Automatic Data aufmerksam machen.
WKN/Kürzel: 850347/AUD

Ich möchte vorerst das Unternehmen vorstellen, und bediene mich eines Artikels aus Börse-Akuell, Nr. 20/99 vom Oktober 99 (zwar etwas alt, aber dennoch):

Automatic Data Processing, kurz ADP, ist eines der ältesten und zugleich erfolgreichsten Softwareunternehmen.
Rund 34.000 Mitarbeiter sorgen sich mit Erfolg um das Wohl von etwas 450.000 Kunden. Die Zahlen um den Konzern sprechen ebenfalls eine deutliche Sprache:
Seit knapp 40 Jahren präsentiert die Gesellschaft jedes Jahr zweistellige Zuwachsraten bei Umsatz und Gewinn.
Auch dieses Mal gab es wieder ein Rekordjahr: Im abgelaufenem Geschäftsjahr wurden mehr als fünf Millionen Dollar umgesetzt. Der Nettogewinn scheiterte nur knapp an der 700-Millionen-Dollar-Marke.
Dennoch: ein neuer Rekordgewinn und eine Steigerung von knapp 15 % im Vergleich zum Vorjahrr. Für das kommende Jahr geht der Konzernlenker Arthur Weinbach erneut von einem zweistelligen Wachstum aus.
Gute Aussichten also für das Unternehmen und die Aktionäre. Zusätzliches Bonbon für die Investoren: Seit 1977 werden die Aktien von ADP achtmal gesplittet.

Kurs am 20. 4. 00, NY: US$ 50,63 bei ca. 2 Mio. Stk. Umsatz.
Durchschnittliche Steigerung der letzten 10 Jahre: ca. 20 %
Gewinn pro Aktie 99/2000e/2001e: 1,10/1,30/1,50 US$
letzte Quartalsdividende: März 00 mit US$ 0,0875
Aktienauflage: ca. 630.000.000 Stk. (ich bin jetzt aber nicht sicher, ob diese Zahl bereits splittbereinigt ist)

Mit der Bitte um Stellungnahme und Gruss. Mant.

Hallo!

Anbei ein Beitrag über Automatic Data Processing auf dem Boerse-Aktuell Nr. 09/00
(zwar ein etwas dünner Beitrag, aber dennoch):

Aus Tradition gut
Manche Technologie-Konzerne sprechen von einer traditionsreichen Vergangenheit. Doch mit einer fünfzigjährigen Unternehmensgeschichte wie bei Automatic Data Processing kann wahrscheinlich niemand mithalten.
Das Softwarehaus aus dem US-Bundesstaat New Jersey hat sich unter anderem der Personalwirtschaft verschrieben. In diesem Segment ist Automatic Data Processing Weltmarktführer. Dazu gehört die elektronische Abwicklung von Lohn- und Gehaltsabrechnungen.
Die Amerikaner erklären sich sogar bereit, die komplette Personalabrechnung und Personalverwaltung für Unternehmen durchzuführen. Mit diesem Standbein und weiteren erfolgreichen Geschäftsfeldern schaffte es Automatic Data Processing seit mehr als 35 Jahren, den Umsatz und Gewinn im zweistelligen Bereich zu steigern.
Beste Voraussetzungen für eine Fortsetzung des fast schon traditionellen Höhenflugs. Auf die kommenden 35 Jahre!

WKN: 850 347
akt. Kurs: 52 Euro
Kurschance: 65 Euro
Kursrisiko: 47 Euro
Div.-Rendite: 0,8 %
PAR 10: 22 % (durchschnittlicher Kurszuwachs der letzten 10 Jahre)

PS Ich bin immer wieder verwundert, dass dieser Wert keine Beachtung findet?!?

ADP, Leading Dutch Companies Join Forces in Revolutionary Nex Channel for Shareholder Communications

NEW YORK and AMSTERDAM, Netherland, July 14/PRNewswire/ -- A pilot programm to dramatically change the way European public companies communicate with their shareholders was successfully launched during the recently completed cycle of Annual Meetings, say the plan`s corporate sponsors. The programm, known as the Shareholders` Communidatin Channel, was pioneered by 11 major Dutch companies and executed by Investor Communication Services Europe (ICS Europe), a business unit of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), with the cooperation of major Dutch banks and a unit of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.

The founders of the Shareholder` Communication Channel beliebe the service will make it easier for individual investors in Europe to become more involved in the affairs of the companies in which they hold stock. Toward that end, the Channel enables participating public companies to send corporate information such as annual reports and proxy materials directly to shareholders at their homes or other designated addresses, and to conduct a formal proxy voting process.

Eleven leading public companies in the Netherlands employed the new service to communicate with their investors in the initial test of the Shareholders` Communication Channel (known in Dutch as "Stichting Communicatiekanaal Aandeelhouders").
Participating companies that used the service for shareholder meetings this year were ABN AMRO, Aegon, Akzo Nobel, Buhrmann, Royal Ahold, Royal Nedlloyd, and Unilever. In addition, Royal Philips, Royal Shell Petroleum and Wassanen used the Channel for non-proxy communications. These participant rank among the largest Dutch companies listed on the Amersterdam Stock Exchange.

A total of approximately 260,000 shareholders received communications directly and confidentially from the sponsoring companies during the Spring 2000 Annual Meeting season that ended recently. The seven companies that used the Channel specifically for their shareholder meetings were able to reach some 130,000 investors representing a total of 114 million shares of stock. First year voting responses exceeded expectations.

Commenting on the potential of the new initiative, Jaap Winter, Senior Legal Adviso of Unilever, said, "We became one of the founding members of the Shareholders` Communication Channel in the belief that it was time to make the communication and voting process more user-friendly for our shareholders in Holland. We were pleased to join with the other corporate members who shared this vision, and to habe the support of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and the banking community. Also, we must commend ICS Europe for providing the investor communications expertise and technology to turn the vision into a reality. We look forward to expanding this exciting initiative in the future."

To launch the Shareholders` Communication Channel, shareholders of the participating companies were asked to give authorization to banks to release their names and addresses to a spesially created unit of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange called AEX-Intermediary. To guarantee shareholder`s privacy, AEX-Intermediary agreed not to provide this data to the listed companies. Rather, it contracted with ICS Europe, a leading global provider of investor information services, to disseminate to shareholders the annual reports, proxy materials and other corporate information and to process voting responses. A Supervisory Council ensures that the Channel is used to transmit only relevant shareholder information, not promotional or marketing materials.

"Automatic Data Processing is proud to have been selected as a partner in impliminting the Shareholder`s Communication Channel," said Bob Schifellite, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the ICS Division of ADP." The Channel member`s adoption of a proactive approach to communication with individual investors is a clear indication of their status as leading global companies and their commitment to enhancing shareholder value."

Unlike the U.S., where shareholders have long been able to vote in absentia by sending in properly executed proxies on paper or (more recently) electronically, shareholders in many European countries may only vote in person or by designating an authorized person to attend a shareholder meeting on their behalf. Howeber, a new Dutch law now permits mailed proxies and allows participating companies to set Record Dates for voting entitlement. Previously, the Netherland had no process for proxy distribution or voting mechanisms for bearer shareholders, whose recorde are held by banks.

Hallo Mant!

Es gibt tatsächlich Leute die ADP kennen und sogar investiert sind!
Ich bin einer davon und kann mich nicht beklagen. Meine ersten Positionen haben mittlerweile (in ca. zwei Jahren) 100% zugelegt und werden es wohl in den nächsten 2 Jahren wieder tun. Bei weiter steigendem Kurs (davon gehe ich aus, momentan ca. 64$) wird es nächstes Frühjahr wieder einen Aktiensplit geben. Wie bei amerikanischen Firmen üblich, gibt es Mitarbeiter-Aktienprogramme. Im Februar/März gibt es dann günstige Einstiegsmöglichkeiten, da Mitarbeiter ihre Anteile verkaufen (hängt auch vom Kursverlauf innerhalb des Aktienprogrammes ab, hohe Kursteigerungen während der Laufzeit (2 Jahre) führen zu verstärkten Gewinnmitnahmen nach Laufzeitende).
An deiner Stelle würde ich mich nicht ärgern, daß sich keiner für ADP interessiert. Die Aktie ist einfach langweilig. Die Umsätze sind eher gering, Volatilität steckt auch keine drin und damit auch keine Zocker, seit knapp 40 Jahren immer wieder die gleichen guten Ergebnisse an jedem Quartalsende - was soll da schon bei rauskommen außer einem fast linear im 45° Winkel ansteigendem Kurs. Aber das reicht mir vollkommen. Die Aktie kostet mich im Jahr weniger Nerven als Ariba oder Commerce One an einem Tag! Solltest du investiert sein, kann ich dich nur beglückwünschen. Schau alle halbe Jahre mal nach dem Kurs und mache, wenn der Kurs gestiegen ist, eine Flasche Sekt auf. Du musst dir in den nächsten 5 Jahren genau 10 Flaschen kaufen!
In diesem Sinne

Hallo Emissionsei!

Ich muss Dir Recht geben. ADP ist einfach zuuu langweilig. Einfach seit Jahren laufende Kurssteigerungen. Wie angenehm langweilig für einen Langzeitinvestor wie mich!!!!
Und!!! Ich denke, wir werden noch eine ganze Menge zu feiern bekommen!
Übrigens würde ich ADP (AUD), mit zuletzt 1.547.600 gehandelten Stück, nicht gerade als markteng bezeichnen.
Siehe z.B. unter: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=aud&d=t
Unter dieser Adresse gibt es auch immer interessant news.
