Market Focus
Aug 07

On August 7, Workday rose 5.05% in regular trading, trading at $178.81/share, with turnover of $58.75 million. The rally was supported by continued institutional inflows and broad strength across the application software sector.

On the institutional front, French asset manager Carmignac Gestion disclosed a newly established position in Workday, while Dimensional Fund Advisors holds a $56.92 million stake. On the ratings side, Royal Bank of Canada reiterated its Outperform rating, and Needham maintained a Buy rating with a $180 price target. The application software sector saw significant momentum, with Atlassian surging 30.66%, Palantir Technologies rising 7.79%, and Datadog climbing 4.81%, creating a broad sector tailwind for Workday.

It is worth noting that Morgan Stanley downgraded Workday to Underweight in late July with a $145 target, citing slowing core growth and early-stage AI monetization. Workday is scheduled to report earnings on August 27, with consensus EPS expectations of $1.26.
