Jake Roberge has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Workday’s strong performance and future potential. The company reported impressive second-quarter results, surpassing expectations across key metrics, which underscores its robust operational capabilities. Despite a slightly conservative third-quarter subscription revenue guidance, Workday anticipates a significant acceleration in the fourth quarter, driven by new deals in the public sector and Workday Wellness, as well as benefits from its acquisition of Paradox.
Moreover, Workday’s operating margins were notably strong, exceeding market expectations, and there is a growing demand for its AI solutions, evidenced by a substantial increase in customer expansions that include AI products. The company’s ability to boost its free cash flow guidance by $150 million, indicating a 28% margin, further reinforces its financial health. Additionally, the strong adoption of Workday’s full-suite offerings and active partner contributions to net-new ACV signal a positive outlook for sustained growth, supporting the Buy rating.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $285.00 price target.
