Brian White has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Workday’s performance. Despite reporting a 13% year-over-year increase in sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, Workday’s results fell short of both the analyst’s and the Street’s estimates. The company’s earnings per share and operating profit also missed projections, which contributed to a cautious outlook.
Furthermore, while Workday is actively introducing generative AI innovations and improving efficiency, the competitive landscape remains intense, and the broader macroeconomic environment poses challenges. The company’s guidance for the upcoming quarters reflects modest growth expectations, and recent acquisitions, such as the agreement to acquire Paradox, have not yet demonstrated a clear positive impact. These elements combined lead to a Hold rating, indicating that investors should maintain their current positions without making additional purchases.
In another report released today, Citi also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $260.00 price target.
