How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 16.1x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: WDAY is currently trading at $118.75, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $117.49 to $127.68. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 11.1) compared to its historical average (16.1). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 11.8% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 62.9% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.

Technical Outlook: Technically, WDAY is in a strong downtrend. Immediate support is located at $112.55, while resistance sits at $133.36.

Market Sentiment: WDAY has a weak technical setup (25/100), with bearish trendlines and momentum suggesting caution for short-term entries. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $179.22 (+50.9%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
