This explanation uses an earlier data snapshot or evidence version. Review its generation date and the current figures, or refresh after signing in.
If you believe WDAY can keep growing revenue at a double-digit pace while expanding operating and net margins toward ADP-like levels, then hold or selectively buy because the current valuation is heavily dependent on future earnings power rather than current profitability.
WDAY is trading at a large discount to ADP-implied price WDAY of $69.15 versus its current price of $160.34, implying -56.9% downside under the P/E framework. However, the broader valuation picture is mixed because WDAY looks cheaper on P/S and EV/Revenue but much more expensive on P/E and EV/EBITDA.
