Workday Inc.’s (WDAY) <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/WDAY">shares</a> fell nearly 4% in Thursday’s midday trade after analysts at Piper Sandler downgraded the stock over concerns about the company’s near-term growth outlook.According to The Fly, Piper Sandler downgraded the Workday stock to ‘Underweight’ from ‘Neutral’ and reduced the price target to $235 from $255. The new price target for WDAY stock implies an upside of less than 2% from current price levels.The downgrade follows Piper’s latest survey of Chief Information Officers (CIO), which revealed growing concerns over the impact of artificial intelligence on enterprise software demand.&nbsp;The brokerage’s survey found that more than half of CIOs now expect AI to negatively affect hiring plans, marking the first time that sentiment has crossed the 50% threshold.&nbsp;The firm noted that while enthusiasm remains high for AI infrastructure, appetite for broader application software, where Workday operates, appears to be waning.The firm expressed concern over Workday’s per-employee pricing model, suggesting it could become a liability as businesses reassess headcount and IT budgets in the face of AI disruption.&nbsp;Workday, which provides human capital and financial management software to large organizations, is not alone in feeling pressure from AI-driven shifts in enterprise planning.&nbsp;While the tech sector broadly benefits from AI tailwinds, legacy software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers may find themselves squeezed as budgets pivot to infrastructure and model development.In the first quarter (Q1), Workday’s operating income slumped 39% year-on-year (YoY) to $39 million, impacted by restructuring expenses of $166 million.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Workday improved to ‘bullish’ from ‘neutral’ territory the previous day amid ‘normal’ message volume levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:966/112;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_07_10_124907_png_7054f398af.webp" alt="WDAY’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 01.15 p.m. ET on July 10, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="966" height="112"><figcaption>WDAY’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 01.15 p.m. ET on July 10, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Workday stock has lost over 10% year-to-date but has gained more than 3% in the past 12 months.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/autodesk-stock-drops-on-potential-acquisition-of-peer-ptc/ch8GJtfR5kl">Autodesk Stock Drops On Potential Acquisition Of Peer PTC, But Retail’s Exuberant</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Pleasanton, California-based Workday, Inc.

In the year-ago quarter, the company reported&nbsp;an adjusted EPS and revenue of $1.157 and $1.92 billion,&nbsp;respectively.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/WDAY">Workday stock </a>pulled back following the company’s third-quarter results in late November as investors did not take kindly to the company’s full-year subscription revenue guidance cut.Given the precedence, the forward guidance for the first quarter and the current fiscal year is expected to determine the stock's near-term direction.Investors may also focus on other key metrics, such as the fourth-quarter subscription revenue, which was guided to $2.025 billion, adjusted operating margin , estimated at 25%, 12-month subscription revenue backlog, and operating cash flow.&nbsp;Last week, Morgan Stanley analyst Keith Weiss downgraded the stock to ‘Equal-Weight’ from ‘Overweight’ and reduced the price target to $275 from $330. Among the pushbacks mentioned by the analyst are recent negative revisions, headcount reductions, Workday’s go-to-market investments not paying off as expected, and weak fourth-quarter results from enterprise software companies.Loop Capital also has a ‘Hold’ rating on Workday stock with a $260 price target, while Goldman Sachs rates it ‘Buy’ with a $310 price target.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Workday stock turned to ‘bearish’ (28/100) from the ‘bullish’ mood that prevailed a day ago.

If growth stalls, Workday should focus on margin expansion, he said.“Absent these first two, we would need to see the multiple come down to a more attractive level in the low-20s FCF range,”&nbsp;the analyst said.Workday is due to report its fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter report after the market closes on Feb. 25. According to Finchat, the consensus estimates for adjusted earnings per share and revenue are at $1.77 and&nbsp; $2.182 billion, respectively.The company&nbsp;has&nbsp;projected quarterly subscription revenue of $2.025 billion and a non-GAAP operating margin of 25%.On Stocktwits, sentiment toward Workday stock remained ‘bearish’ (39/100), with the message volume at a ‘low’ level.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:633/135;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/wday_sentiment_3732b1d2d1.png" alt="wday-sentiment.png" width="633" height="135"><figcaption>WDAY sentiment and message volume February 19, as of 12:20 pm ET | Source:&nbsp;Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Workday stock fell 3.22% to $257.17 by Wednesday’s mid-session.
