Workday Faces Value Compression Risks From Seat-Based Monetization, BofA Securities Says

By

Workday (WDAY) is facing value compression risks related to pressures on seat-based monetization, BofA Securities said in a note Wednesday.

The pressures stem from headcount rationalization, agent-based pricing's traction, and potential issues with contract pricing and duration, the brokerage said, adding that monetization could take time to offset these.

Workday, though highly resilient and embedded, is increasingly defending its share rather than gaining it, BofA Securities said, pointing to the company's lack of near-term catalysts.

The company maintains a solid position in human capital management, but expansion opportunities in other sectors do not indicate a clear growth inflection as of yet, according to the note.

BofA Securities reinstated coverage of Workday with a neutral rating and a $140 price target.

Price: $126.09, Change: $+2.07, Percent Change: +1.67%
