Cowen Cuts Price Target on Workday (WDAY) Following 3Q
Cowen maintained a Market Perform rating on Workday (NYSE: WDAY), and cut the price target to $73.00 (from $83.00), following the company's 3Q report. WDAY reported a modest 3Q billings beat. However, the slippage of several large deals that were planned to close in November led to a more cautious tone and modestly lowered outlook for 4Q.
Analyst Derrick Wood commented, "WDAY delivered modest 3Q upside, but early 4Q deal slippage due to Brexit/election factors led to a weaker guide. This could spook investors about 4Q risk for the broader space, but it may be company-specific (in-line with our view around risk of HCM saturation & lack of Financials inflection) or just one-off deals. Such uncertainty + weakening billings optics likely to keep shares pressured."
