Market Focus
Jul 01

On July 1, Workday rose 5.69% in pre-market trading, trading at $129.38/share, with turnover of $6.39 million. The move was driven by Monness Crespi & Hardt upgrading the stock from Neutral to Buy with a $150 price target, implying approximately 16% upside from current levels.

The upgrade comes amid broader application software sector strength, with peers Salesforce up 3.73%, AppLovin up 3.58%, and Palantir up 2.87%. Fundamentally, Workday delivered a strong Q1 with adjusted EPS of $2.66 beating the $2.51 consensus by 6%, revenue rising 13% year-over-year to $2.54 billion, and AI agent customers more than doubling quarter-over-quarter to exceed 4,000. Management also raised full-year margin guidance. The FactSet consensus mean price target stands at $173.56 with an average overweight rating, suggesting analysts broadly see further upside potential following the stock's significant year-to-date pullback exceeding 35%.
