Trading above historical range
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 15.1x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: WDAY is currently trading at $200.01, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $143.02 to $188.63. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 18.4) compared to its historical average (15.1). At these levels, the market is pricing in 6.8% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, WDAY is in a strong downtrend. Immediate support is located at $173.16, while resistance sits at $227.49.
Market Sentiment: WDAY scores 0/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge. Note this measures entry quality, not trend direction — a low score can mean the chart is extended after a strong run (don't chase) or still falling without stabilization; better entries typically come after a pullback toward the 20-day average. However, the stock is trading significantly above the average Wall Street target of $177.21. Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
