Peers are every company that BQ-MICS, our own multi-industry classification system, places in the same industry group as Automatic Data Processing Inc. Unlike a single-label scheme, BQ-MICS assigns each company a primary industry and any secondary industries it genuinely operates in, and records the reasoning behind every assignment. Tap the info icon beside any ticker to read it.
It marks a secondary match: the company operates a real business in this industry group, but it is not its largest. Tick "Primary business only" above the table to compare against pure plays alone.
