Even getting to $175 is something company feels ambitious. They put very modest targets for CEO to meet given where the stock price was a few years ago. I am not sure what it means?
Apr 22, 2026
CEO has returned to the company to reinvigorate the growth. But the company is primed to lose money as the pricing model is at risk. I don't think they will lose business or there will be a competitor but companies might push for lower prices or different pricing model as agents can build workflows based on system of record. The UI of workday is very slow, clunky and not well optimized to perform better.
