Where WDAY is headed
Workday at $127 trades like a software company the market has given up on. Revenue still growing 14.5%, $3 billion in free cash flow, 75% gross margins, and a stock that has lost more than half its value from the 52-week high. Something is wrong with the price or wrong with the business. We think it's the price.
