On July 30, Workday declined 5.58% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $160.86/share, with turnover of $2.4386 million.
On the news front, Workday had surged nearly 19% over the prior three trading sessions driven by SaaS sector rotation, with shares rallying from $141 to approximately $167, creating significant short-term profit-taking pressure. Compounding the pullback, Morgan Stanley on July 21 downgraded Workday to underweight from equal-weight, cutting its price target from $185 to $145, citing continued deceleration in core business growth and noting that AI monetization remains in pilot phase with limited near-term revenue contribution.
Within the Application Software sector, the broader SaaS group retreated in tandem. Among peers, Salesforce fell 3.66%, Adobe declined 3.91%, Palantir Technologies slipped 0.66%, and AppLovin dropped 1.12%, reflecting a sector-wide pattern of prior gains being unwound.
