On July 15, Workday rose 5.34% in regular trading, trading at approximately $147.01/share, with turnover of approximately $92.68 million. The stock recovered its pre-market losses after the broader software sector staged a technical rebound.
The rebound followed two consecutive sessions of selling pressure triggered by IBM's preliminary Q2 revenue of $17.2 billion, which missed the consensus estimate of $17.9 billion by a wide margin. IBM's stock plunged over 25%, its largest single-day decline on record, dragging down enterprise software peers. Workday had fallen over 6% in the prior session and dropped another 5.36% in pre-market trading earlier on July 15. IBM management noted that some clients shifted capital expenditure priorities toward servers, storage, and memory hardware infrastructure, causing several large software contracts to be delayed.
However, Workday's fundamental backdrop remains supportive. The company reported above-consensus Q1 results in May, with subscription revenue growing 14.3% year-over-year and AI agent customer count more than doubling quarter-over-quarter. Peer Salesforce also rebounded 2.85% on the session, reflecting a broader buy-the-dip pattern across the sector.
