Workday Inc WDAY

Valuation holds this up; Management is the soft spot.

The price needs 5.0% growth a year for ten years. The AI thinks 12.0% is achievable, at a 32.0% margin.

Workday looks attractive because it can grow revenue around 12% a year for a decade while keeping roughly 32% free cash flow margins, yet the stock only prices in about 8% growth. The AI partnerships and platform lock-in give it a real edge that should compound over time, though heavy stock-based pay remains a drag worth watching.
