“Looking to the future, we are well positioned for the second half of the year and will continue to invest in our go-to-market strategy and our people, who are foundational to our success,” said Chano Fernandez, co-CEO, Workday

Impressed by the second-quarter performance, management has raised its full-year Fiscal 2022 guidance for subscription revenue, which is now expected to range between $4.50 billion and $4.51 billion. Fiscal third-quarter 2022 subscription revenue, on the other hand, is expected at between $1.156 billion and $1.158 billion.

Recently, Cowen & Co analyst Derrick Wood reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $250 price target, implying 1.31% upside potential to current levels.

Wood stated, “Regarding top line, we think transactional activity remains solid but that large ERP/HCM cloud migration projects are still lagging, which creates a governor on growth upside, especially this year when growth in book of renewal business is slower.”

Consensus among analysts is a Strong Buy based on 11 Buys and 2 Holds. The average Workday price target of $281.75 implies 14.18%% upside potential to current levels.
