This summary was created by AI, based on 6 opinions in the last 12 months.

Workday (WDAY-Q) is facing a mix of challenges and opportunities in the current market landscape. With expectations of negative growth reflected in the -40% performance in Q1, there are concerns about AI potentially displacing its business. However, some analysts believe that these fears may be exaggerated. Despite the recent decline of 9% after weak guidance was released, the company saw a rally of 7.25% following a successful financial analysts day and a new partnership announcement, alongside a noteworthy $2 billion investment from Elliott Management. While the outlook appears poor for next year, the anticipated earnings growth of 18% this year and a relatively low PE ratio of 15 signifies that there is some optimism about the stock's future performance amidst an otherwise competitive environment.

WEAK BUY

They report Thursday. It's the poster boy of AI displacement, but he doesn't expect bad numbers. Rallied 5% today as part of a software rally. Not sure if the rally will last, because previous software rallies faded after a few days.

DON'T BUY

Is -40% in Q1 and one of the worst performers on the S&P. Concerns that AI will take over its business are overblown. Then, the CEO stepped down and they reported a mixed quarter.

BUY

Is -24% this year. Earnings growth expected at 18% this year. Trades at only 15x PE. 

DON'T BUY

They gave weak guidance. Is down 9% today, but has lost momentum of late. The growth outlook is poor next year.

BUY

It rallied 7.25% today after a company event  and financial analysts day; announced new partnership. Yesterday, we learned that activist Elliott Management took a huge $2 billion stake in WDAY.

DON'T BUY

It faces a lot of competition. Also, the market doesn't want to own Salesforce.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 20/24, Down 8%)

He targets $312.50. They use Agentic AI well, like a quarterback to underline their software services. Likes it.

COMMENT

It reports Tuesday. Was downgraded this week on fears of softer sales. If this is reported, then shares will go down.

WAIT

This part of enterprise isn't working these days. Wait another quarter to see how WDAY does.

TOP PICK

Project management in the cloud. Skewed to accounting and HR (aka Human Capital Management). Interestingly, each of the Magnificent 7 has Workday's HCM software. Best in class for human resources. In both categories, bringing on generative AI add-ons to automate routine tasks. No dividend.

(Analysts’ price target is $315.38)
BUY

It reports Monday. This SAAS company has finally broken out of the pack and left behind its inconsistent quarters.

BUY

It reports Monday. Is restructuring through layoffs. WDAY is growing, but if it can accelerate growth, then its shares will roar.

DON'T BUY
The weakest industry is anything connected to cloud computing. It's been taking market share, but it could tough for them to top their last great quarter. They report this week.
BUY
They reported a few weeks ago. Enterprise spending is not slowing. Their HR management software is based in the cloud and will continues revenue growth in coming years.
