Healthy demand in the education, healthcare and financial services end market supports WDAY's top line in the fiscal fourth quarter.
With shares trading slightly below where they finished trading at toward the end of 2021, Workday (WDAY 1.06%) needs to reinvigorate its stock price. Its shares got a boost following the software-as-a-service (SaaS) company's Q4 reports and guidance as it leans into artificial intelligence (AI) to help drive growth.
Workday reported 4Q25 on Tuesday with strong guidance and a beat on EPS and revenue, causing the stock to spike 12%. I think the recent layoffs should improve margins in the midterm as the company edges closer to a 30% non-GAAP operating margin. In my opinion, expanding Workday Student outside North America should increase adoption of the service and boost annual subscription revenue.
Workday, a pure play enterprise SaaS company, recently became GAAP profitable and has been FCF positive since 2016, marking a new growth phase. The company targets Fortune 500 clients, boasting a sticky product with low market share risk and impressive customer retention. While bullish on Workday's fundamentals, I recommend adding the stock to the watchlist due to its high current valuation.
Shares of Workday and Lowe's have gained in recent sessions on the back of their strong financial updates, but a market veteran sees significant further upside in both.

WDAY reports higher revenues year over year in the fiscal fourth quarter, backed by multiple customer wins in several end markets.
Shares of Workday Inc WDAY were climbing in early trading on Wednesday after the company reported upbeat fourth-quarter results.

Shares of Workday (WDAY) are surging more than 10% in premarket trading Wednesday, a day after the human resource and finance software maker's fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter results topped analysts' estimates.
Workday's strong FY26 outlook and minimal deceleration in subscription revenue growth have sparked renewed investor optimism, leading to a post-earnings rally. I'm upgrading WDAY stock to a neutral rating based on the improvement in its growth trajectory for FY26. The company is also slicing down 8.5% of its headcount and automating functions with AI, which is expected to produce significant operating margin gains this year.
Although the revenue and EPS for Workday (WDAY) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended January 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
