EBITDA, or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, serves as a crucial indicator of operational performance. This analysis pits Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP) against Thomson Reuters Corporation over a decade, from 2014 to 2023.

A Decade of Financial Performance

ADP has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, with its EBITDA growing by approximately 122% from 2014 to 2023. In contrast, Thomson Reuters experienced a more volatile journey, with a notable dip in 2017 and 2018, where EBITDA fell to nearly half of its 2014 value. By 2023, ADP's EBITDA reached a peak, while Thomson Reuters saw a modest recovery.

Insights and Implications

The data highlights ADP's consistent growth, suggesting robust operational strategies. Meanwhile, Thomson Reuters' fluctuations indicate potential challenges and opportunities for strategic realignment. Missing data for 2024 suggests a need for cautious optimism in future projections.
