AUID

Shares of software companies are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Workday's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDAY#NYSE">WDAY</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.44% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.14 million shares sold short, which is 3.8% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.96 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Workday has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Workday's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Workday's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.04%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking Into Workday's Recent Short Interest

Workday shares are trading lower after Jefferies cut its price target on the stock from $350 to $325.

Analyst Ratings

Jefferies Maintains Buy on Workday, Lowers Price Target to $325

Needham analyst Scott Berg reiterated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WDAY/analyst-ratings">Buy rating </a>on the shares of Workday Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDAY#NASDAQ">WDAY</a>) with a price forecast of $300.
An expert call with an Integrations Director at a Workday services integrator highlighted key trends in higher education, healthcare, local government, and non-profit sectors.
Workday has prioritized deeper integration functionality through its Extend and Built for Workday initiatives.
Recently, Workday&#8217;s Student module became more competitive, especially with improvements to the Financial Aid module.
While implementation times remain stable, customers are pushing for shorter timelines, indicating demand for enhanced functionality as replacement cycles lengthen. The expert observed strong demand in specialized fields, though caution is advised, noted the analyst.

Workday has been encouraging channel partners to leverage new integration features, particularly Extend and AI functionality (Illuminate), to strengthen ecosystem connections. 
Extend has become a key part of many recent deals, with integrations being a major factor in customers switching to Workday. The expert emphasized that tighter integrations reduce data and workflow issues, improving the customer experience and increasing switching costs. 
Implementation times for Workday&#8217;s full platform remain steady, typically taking about one year, with some customers opting for staggered deployments due to resource limitations. 
Customers are pushing to shorten timelines, signaling strong perceived value, although the complexity of a new ERP system necessitates a lengthy implementation phase, said the analyst.
For university customers, implementation is more challenging due to the need for around 200 integrations, compared to about 60 for commercial customers. 
However, Workday Student has become more competitive in the market, especially with the maturing of its Financial Aid module, which was previously a notable weakness.
Customers are mostly switching to Workday for its ease of use and better system integration, with many migrating from PeopleSoft and Lawson, the analyst opined.
Price Action: Workday shares traded higher by 0.45% at $250.70 at last check Monday.
