Despite the explanation, the reality is AI is the primary driver of a leaner organization,” Munster said in the post.“His comments underscore how difficult it is for the C suite to talk openly about AI impacting jobs given the negative effect those statements could have on the mindset of remaining employees,” Munster added.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_01_24_at_3_51_31_AM_png_21883c1229.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-24 at 3.51.31 AM.png" width="1203" height="1066"></figure>&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">AI’s Impact On Jobs</h2>Munster also noted Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s comments to the Wall Street Journal at Davos earlier this week.

Why Workday's Stock Jumped Over 5% After-Hours Today

Shares of Workday, Inc. (WDAY) surged 5.12% to $230.22 in Tuesday's after-hours trading, following a stake buildup by an activist investor in the AI-driven human resources software developer.

Elliott Investment Management has acquired a substantial stake in the company.


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.
