Just For You Workday Rising… To Fresh Record High Stock PricesWritten by Thomas Hughes. Published 9/19/2025. 
Key Points - Workday's Workday Rising event left analysts buzzing about an improved growth outlook.
- Acquisitions, expanding services, and new collaborations have embedded it as crucial for any enterprise's comprehensive AI/automation network.
- Upgrades and institutional buying suggest this stock will set a new high by early 2026 and continue to trend higher from there.
Workday's (NASDAQ: WDAY) stock is experiencing a strong rebound that could push it to record highs by early 2026. This surge has been driven by consistent outperformance and a series of bullish announcements at Workday Rising, the company's investor and industry event. Analysts are particularly enthused by the expanded offerings, new partnerships, and enhanced utility for AI-focused enterprises. Analysts Forecast a 25% Upside for Workday Workday's shares spent much of the past year weighed down by cautious sentiment—but that's quickly changing. Data tracked by MarketBeat shows seven analyst updates, including two rating upgrades, one higher price target, and four reiterations above consensus. Axcelis Technologies went from $2.50 to $180—a staggering 7,100% return. These are the kinds of small-cap breakouts Fierce Analyst aims to catch before they go mainstream.

Sentiment is firming, and the consensus price target remains steady, implying a 25% upside from current levels. Importantly, the stock's revised low-end target now stands at $235, aligning with a technical support level that's proving to be a strong base. Analysts see Workday not only reclaiming lost ground but possibly breaking out to new highs.  In a base-case scenario, the stock could climb by the dollar value of its base range (about $100), while a bull-case scenario projects approximately a 50% gain to the critical resistance near $300. These scenarios suggest potential targets between $400 and $450, representing roughly a 95% increase from mid-September trading levels. Elliott Management Takes a $2B Position Workday institutional support is strong, providing a solid tailwind for the stock in 2025. Data from MarketBeat shows institutions buying on balance every quarter in 2025, including the quarter-to-date period of Q3. The buyer-to-seller ratio is nearly 2-to-1, highlighted by a $2 billion stake by Elliott Investment Management. With this $2 billion position, Elliott Management gains meaningful influence and believes Workday is well-positioned to deliver substantial, long-term value for shareholders. AI Acquisitions and Partnerships Expand Workday's Ecosystem Investors are also bullish on developments announced at the event, including the acquisition of Sana and several new collaborations that broaden Workday's ecosystem, embedding it as a critical component of any enterprise AI platform. Sana brings advanced search, autonomous agent, and machine learning capabilities that will be integrated into Workday's data platform to improve employee experiences systemwide. Partnerships include zero-copy interfaces with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), and others to enhance the developer network and expand interoperability across the ecosystem. Profitability, Cash Flow, and Share Buybacks Strengthen the Case Workday isn't just growing—it's doing so profitably. The company generates positive cash flow and is deploying it strategically. In 2025, the board authorized a $5 billion share repurchase program—enough to reduce outstanding shares by nearly 8%. That level of buyback activity offers a strong tailwind for the stock. Workday's balance sheet also looks healthy, with no red flags for investors. Q2 highlights include stable assets, reduced liabilities, and a 1.5% increase in shareholder equity despite significant share repurchases. Leverage remains ultra-low, with total liabilities under 1x equity and long-term debt below 0.5x equity, leaving the company in a flexible financial position.
