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

Workday, represented by the symbol WDAY-Q, has experienced significant fluctuations recently, particularly amid fears regarding AI displacement in its industry. Despite a 31% rise in July, concerns linger as the company prepares to report earnings imminently. Analysts note that it has been one of the worst performers on the S&P, suffering a decline of 40% in Q1 and a year-to-date drop of 24%. However, some experts believe that the fears surrounding AI negatively impacting Workday's business may be exaggerated. The company's recent rally of 7.25% following a financial event and the significant investment by activist Elliott Management adds a layer of optimism, yet weak guidance and poor growth outlook for next year raise doubts about the sustainability of this momentum.

COMMENT

Up 31% in July. It's been hammered by AI fears. Workday could rebound if its numbers impress like ServiceNow's.

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.

Workday, Inc., is an American on-demand financial management and human capital management software vendor. Workday was founded by David Duffield, founder and former CEO of ERP company PeopleSoft, and former PeopleSoft chief strategist Aneel Bhusri following Oracle's hostile takeover of PeopleSoft in 2005.

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.
