If you believe MSFT’s profitability and growth advantage will continue to justify a premium multiple, then buy or add to MSFT because it trades at just 26.9x earnings versus WDAY’s 61.9x while producing far stronger margins, ROIC, and scale.
The valuation gap is striking on earnings: MSFT trades at 26.9x P/E versus WDAY at 61.9x, yet MSFT has materially stronger margins and returns. On a revenue basis, MSFT’s 10.4x P/S is above WDAY’s 3.7x, but that premium is supported by far higher profitability and scale.
