The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is $5.1 billion, hinting at a 5.9% year-over-year increase. We expect gains across segments to have supported revenue growth.
Our estimation for fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 revenues from Employer Service is $3.4 billion, suggesting growth of 5.7% from the year-ago quarter’s actual. We expect business bookings to have fueled this segment’s growth.
We anticipate revenues of Professional Employer Organization (“PEO”) services to be $1.6 billion, indicating 5.6% year-over-year growth. The factors likely to have driven this segment are higher wages and strong retention.
Our estimate for Interest on Funds held for clients is $287.9 million, implying a 4% rise from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Stronger average client funds balance growth is anticipated to have benefited this segment.

The consensus estimate for earnings per share is set at $2.22, indicating a 6.2% year-over-year increase. Strong top-line growth, along with disciplined cost control, is expected to have aided the bottom line.
