WDAY · Nasdaq
Workday sells cloud-based enterprise software, principally human-capital-management applications for workforce administration, payroll, talent, and related employee processes, alongside financial-management, planning, and analytics tools. It makes most of its money through recurring subscriptions to those applications, supplemented by implementation and other professional services. Customers are businesses and other large organizations managing employees, finance, and planning needs. The supplied evidence does not provide a segment revenue split or customer-count figure. Workday reported FY2026 revenue of $9.6 billion and net income of $0.7 billion, versus $8.4 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively, in FY2025.
Workday rose $11.59, or 7.26%, from $159.69 to $171.28 over the displayed period. The move was volatile: the stock jumped 5.21% to $168.01, gave back nearly all of that gain with a 5.89% drop to $158.11, then recovered 1.41% to $160.34 before advancing 2.94% and 3.77% in the final two sessions. The evidence identifies no Workday-specific announcement, earnings release, guidance change, or analyst action driving the week. Instead, the rebound followed broader technology-market strength, including a rally tied to stellar Microsoft earnings and chip stocks, while subsequent gains occurred as Middle East tensions eased and investors cited US economic strength. The stock therefore moved with improving risk appetite after the sharp reversal.
