Workday (WDAY)

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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