Cowen Remains Bullish Following Workday (WDAY) Q1 Results
Cowen maintains an Outperform rating on Workday (NYSE: WDAY), and cuts the price target to $101.00 (from $111.00), following Q1 results. WDAY reported Q1 revenue of $251m, compared to consensus estimates of $245m. Billings were reported at $271.6m vs. $261m consensus. Workday guided Q2 billings to $295m (up 8% q/q vs last years q/q average of +11%).
Analyst Jesse Hulsing commented on WDAY, saying, "Q1 showed upside to ests, but billings were lighter than expected. This is somewhat concerning (though not out of the ordinary for a Q1). We are, however, encouraged by the trend toward larger, blue chip HCM custs (Coca Cola, etc.) and a more bullish tone regarding the financials pipeline. PT to $101 and view the low $80s as attractive entry point, as we expect growth to improve moving forward."
