Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into WDAY?
At today's price, Workday, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 1.0% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 8.19% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at 31.6% a year, so the market is asking for 30.6 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis WDAY looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

Workday, Inc. is currently running 34.0% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against WDAY's own 9 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 48th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 34.5%.
WDAY is trading -33.9% below its running peak. Across 9 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -32.5%, and the deepest was -49.7% in 2022. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.
Price sits +30.2% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 98th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year WDAY closed higher on 46% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.
On November specifically: over 9 years of records, WDAY finished the month higher 6 of 9 times, with a median return of +8.3% and an average of +7.2%. Its strongest month historically has been August at +12.1% on average, its weakest September at -5.8%.
Overnight risk is measurable too: WDAY has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 116 of 2,294 sessions (5.1% of the time), with the largest gaps running +6.7% and -8.1%.
All figures computed from 2,295 daily closes between 2017-09-20 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against WDAY's own 9-year history, not a peer group or index.
