Workday (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDAY#NASDAQ">WDAY</a>), the HR software company known for its widespread use, sees a significant opportunity with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy&#8217;s new government plans.

</ul>
Under Musk and Ramaswamy's direction, DOGE <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42131911/donald-trump-appointed-doge-to-have-marginal-impact-saving-50-100-billion-says-analyst-as-elon-musk-aims-to-target-500-billion-plus-in-federal-expenditures">supposedly aims to cut</a> administrative costs, optimize agency headcounts and modernize outdated processes to streamline the federal government. This objective, to replace conventional &#8220;on-premises&#8221; HR systems with cloud-based alternatives, fits in nicely with Workday&#8217;s area of expertise.
Currently, more than 80% of the federal government&#8217;s HR systems are still running on local servers, according to Workday&#8217;s CEO, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36703278/workday-co-ceo-carl-eschenbach-stresses-importance-of-responsible-ai-use-our-data-is-highly-curated">Carl Eschenbach</a>. He believes that with DOGE advocating for cost-saving measures and improved efficiency, federal agencies are at an &#8220;inflection point&#8221; where they just might transition to cloud technology. Workday is prepared to offer its government-focused product to support this transition.
See Also: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
&#8220;Postelection and with DOGE coming out, people are absolutely looking to drive more economies of scale and more efficiency. And I can tell you supporting these on-premises, antiquated systems is not a way to do that,&#8221; Eschenbach said.
Business Insider mentions that the Department of Energy and the Defense Intelligence Agency are among the prominent clients that Workday has already attracted. Eschenbach believes this is only the beginning and that other federal agencies will soon use cloud-based HR solutions. On the most recent earnings call, he referred to this possible change as a &#8220;tail wind&#8221; that would improve the company&#8217;s government business going forward.

Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Even though Workday reported a strong quarter with revenue and profitability above forecast, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42220264/workday-faces-mixed-analyst-views-strong-q3-earnings-beat-offset-by-growth-concerns-and-guidance">experts have differing opinions</a> on the firm&#8217;s prospects for growth, which presents significant difficulties for the company. Some see potential in Workday&#8217;s AI tools and expanding market presence, while others are concerned about slower growth and revised revenue guidance.&nbsp;
Its AI products are showing strong traction, with 30% of third-quarter customer expansions incorporating AI solutions. This led to a 39% reduction in turnover and a significant sales price boost. Nevertheless, Workday's share price has been volatile and growth estimates for 2026 have been adjusted downward.
Still, Workday&#8217;s focus on DOGE could be an important strategic move. If Musk and Ramaswamy&#8217;s efforts to reform the federal government gain momentum, Workday could be key in modernizing how federal agencies manage their workforce. For now, the company is concentrating on federal opportunities, with hopes that the shift to the cloud will benefit both the company and its clients – even if the software continues to face criticism from users.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Pre-Market Session

Global markets faced turbulence by midday Wednesday as an unwinding of yen-dollar carry trades drove sharp losses in U.S. equities, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 falling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">1.2% in intraday trading.</a>
Rising expectations that the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates in December pushed the dollar-yen pair down by 1.5%, marking its steepest drop since late September. This triggered a wave of &#8220;risk-off&#8221; sentiment, pressuring major indices.
The S&amp;P 500 dipped 0.5% by midday, on track to snap a seven-day winning streak, while small caps in the Russell 2000 remained relatively steady. Treasury yields fell significantly as fresh economic data failed to stoke concerns about an imminent change in the Federal Reserve's interest rate path.
The U.S. economy expanded at an annualized 2.8% in the third quarter, according to a second estimate that matched earlier print. October's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, the Fed&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, also came in line with forecasts, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42220106/dollar-treasury-yields-stocks-fall-in-tandem-after-october-inflation-uptick">showing a modest uptick.</a>
Traders continue to bet on easier monetary policy, with Fed funds futures pricing in a 70% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Dec. 18 meeting.
In commodities market, gold inched up by 0.2%, while oil prices fell by 1% to $68 a barrel, heading for a three-day decline. Natural gas plummeted 7%, amid less cold weather forecasts reducing the outlook for heating demand.
Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies reversed their recent losing streak. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rallied nearly 5% to above $96,000, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) surged more than 7%, hitting price levels last seen in late June 2024.

Stocks Fall, Yen Eyes Best Day In 2 Months, Bitcoin Rebounds Above $96,000: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDAY#NASDAQ">WDAY</a>) stock is moving lower on Wednesday after the company reported 2025 fiscal-year third quarter earnings on Tuesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42202858">after the bell</a>.
The Details: Workday shares fell approximately 10% after the company released earnings on Tuesday and shares continue to fall headed into Wednesday. The company reported earnings, including adjusted earnings per share of $1.89, beating analyst estimates of $1.76.

What's Going On With Workday Shares Wednesday?

Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDAY#NASDAQ">WDAY</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42202858/workday-stock-slides-after-q3-results-beat-expectations-fy-subscription-revenue-guidance-revised-lower" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Wednesday.</a>
The company reported third-quarter earnings of $1.89 per share, surpassing the $1.76 estimate. Revenue of $2.16 billion also beat expectations of $2.13 billion, up from $1.87 billion last year. Workday revised its FY25 subscription revenue guidance.
Here are the analyst&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WDAY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">take on the stock:</a>
<ul>
<li>Piper Sandler analyst Brent A. Bracelin downgraded the stock to Neutral from Overweight, lowering the price forecast to $270 from $285.</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan reiterated the Buy rating on the stock, lowering the price forecast to $300 from $305.</li>
<li>Needham analyst Scott Berg reiterated the Buy rating on the company, with a price forecast of $300.</li>
</ul>
Piper Sandler: Bracelin has lowered the growth estimate for Workday in 2026 to 12.5%, down from 14.0%, due to concerns over weak guidance and the company&#8217;s ability to drive growth next year.
Per the analyst, until international expansion, new products, and partnerships begin to show stronger results, Workday&#8217;s growth prospects are diminishing, leading them to downgrade their rating to Neutral.
While margin expansion to 27.5% in fiscal 2026 could support more than 15% earnings per share (EPS) growth, the analyst struggles to justify Workday&#8217;s high valuation, especially given a 28x price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple for CY26 (compared to a GAAP P/E of 70x).
As a result, the analyst writes that the growth momentum for Workday has slowed.

Goldman Sachs: The analyst notes a slight decrease in fourth-quarter growth due to delayed large-deal revenue recognition and compression in 1Q25 from leap-year comparisons.
Despite these challenges, the analyst is cautiously optimistic, noting that the macro environment in FY26 could improve following election results and potential rate cuts.
Additionally, Workday&#8217;s AI products are showing strong traction, with 30% of third quarter customer expansions incorporating AI solutions, leading to a 39% reduction in turnover and a significant boost in selling prices. While the delayed revenue recognition from strategic deals was unexpected, the analyst forecasts that the products and features delivered should result in long-term revenue benefits.
If Workday can maintain stable, durable growth and improve its margins, the stock is likely to see a re-rating, the analyst adds.
Needham: Workday is facing longer sales cycles than in FY24, with cRPO at $6.98 billion, up 15.4% year-over-year, slightly above guidance.
However, the analyst forecasts that Workday shares will be weak due to a lower-than-expected FY26 subscription revenue growth forecast of 14%, below the 15% consensus. This shortfall is attributed to revenue recognition timing on large deals.
The analyst also sees investor concern growing over the intermediate-term outlook, as the company&#8217;s new management team has recently reaffirmed its 15% subscription growth targets.
The analyst raised the FY25 EPS estimates to $7.20 from $7.12.
Price Action: WDAY shares are trading lower by 8.26% to $247.87 at last check Wednesday.
