Total shares institutions bought (green) vs sold (red) each quarter across all holders.
Inferred from quarter-over-quarter change in each fund's 13F position (new stakes count as buys, exits as sells). Not tick-level trades.
Ranked against 38 sector peers with collected financials. Valuation from latest close × latest fiscal-year fundamentals; 13F conviction as of 2026-09-30.
Percentile is “goodness” within the peer set (100 = best). For valuation and leverage that means cheaper / less-levered ranks higher.

Peers = companies sharing WDAY's sector (Services-Computer Processing & Data Preparation) with collected SEC financials. Multiples use the most recent end-of-day close and latest fiscal-year fundamentals (trailing, not forward). Missing cells mean the peer never reported that line item, has no collected price, or has a non-positive denominator. Not investment advice.
Total return (dividends reinvested) vs the market, from quarter-end prices.
Above 0 = ahead of the S&P 500 since the window start; below 0 = behind. Rising means it's pulling ahead.
How far the stock fell below its prior peak. Deeper, longer drawdowns = a rougher ride to the same return.
Quarter-end, dividend-adjusted (total return). Beta & volatility from quarterly returns (annualized). Benchmark is the S&P 500 (SPY total return). Annual returns compound the quarters ending in each calendar year; the first and last years in a window may be partial. Past performance doesn't predict future results.

What the company returns to shareholders — and whether it's covered by cash.
No dividend to cover. Last year: $0 dividends + $2.90B buybacks = $2.90B returned on $2.78B FCF.
Yields use the latest fiscal-year dividends/buybacks over current market cap. Dividends and buybacks from the SEC cash-flow statement; payout coverage vs net income and free cash flow. Educational — not a recommendation.
How management deployed cash over 10 years — and what it earned on reinvestment.
A reinvestment story — most cash went back into growth rather than to shareholders.
Modest payoff on reinvested capital. Current ROIC on all capital: 6%. Rough measure (includes maintenance capex).
Cash uses aggregated from the SEC cash-flow statement over 10 fiscal years. "Return on reinvestment" is a rough proxy — operating-income change ÷ cumulative CapEx + M&A — and includes maintenance capex. Educational — not a recommendation.
Last reported position per insider, carried forward. Steps can be a holding disclosed for the first time rather than a trade.

Every row is classified by what it MEANT, not by its SEC code. A code is not a meaning: code P (“purchase”) also covers dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plans, and code S (“sale”) also covers 10b5-1 plan sales scheduled months earlier and option exercises sold the same day.
Across 30 days of all filings, $5.08bn of insider selling contained $3.50bn of plan sales and $0.46bn of exercise-and-sell. Only 29% was discretionary. Reading an unclassified feed badly overstates how much insiders decided.
Buys and sales are counted separately and never netted. They are different decisions by different people; a company where one officer bought while another sold is not “neutral”.
The holding line carries each insider's last reported position forward, so it shows the total held rather than a sawtooth of whoever traded that day. It covers only insiders who filed in the window.
“Filed late” counts calendar days past the two-business-day deadline with five days' grace, so a Thursday or Friday trade crossing a weekend is never flagged. It describes the company's filing discipline, not the trade.
Insider activity is descriptive. Nothing here is investment advice.

How a revenue dollar becomes profit — FY2026
Dividends and buybacks are cash paid out, shown here against the same year's profit for scale — not funded from it. This year they exceeded net income, so the ribbons are capped at earnings and understate what was actually returned.
Each value shows its share of revenue below it (common-size).

The metrics that matter, over time
A 30-second read on WDAY: price, valuation and headline fundamentals from SEC filings. The four questions at the top of the page are where the judgements live.
Solve the discounted cash flow backwards, then stress-test the assumptions.
The same 3 years as the 3-yr average, with the stock compensation of those years charged as a cost. Shares issued to employees are real dilution, so this asks what the business generates for existing holders.
To be worth $197.82 today, the market must believe free cash flow compounds 22.8%/yr for a decade (off $775.0M on the SBC-adjusted basis).
On the basis ($2.30B) the requirement is 8.1%/yr. The difference is what charging stock compensation costs.
The market's 22.8% is more conservative than its 6-yr track record.
Default is 9.7% — this company's computed cost of capital (computed WACC), the same rate the Analysis tab discounts at.
2-stage DCF · 0.24B shares (market data) · net debt $1.49B
mean 1250.6% · volatility σ 2734% · implied rate exceeded in 4/5 yrs
Central path = implied 22.8%/yr growth; shaded band = ±1σ (2734%) of this company's historical FCF volatility, widening with time. The wider the band, the less certain the growth.
Reverse DCF: rather than guessing a fair value, we solve for the growth the current price implies, then you stress-test the assumptions. Enterprise value of the FCF stream, less net debt, ÷ shares. Educational — not a recommendation.
How much the company owes, how it's trended, and how comfortably it's serviced.

The cash figure is from 2026-01-31, so the two are not the same balance-sheet date — the schedule has not been refiled since.
Green ≤ 1.5× · amber ≤ 3× · red > 3× (leverage relative to cash earnings).
Interest is easily covered by operating profit. Effective rate ~3.8% on $2.99B of debt.
Cash of $1.50B fully covers short-term debt of $0.
Mostly long-term debt (balance-sheet current vs non-current split). See the maturity ladder above for the year-by-year repayment schedule.
Debt, cash, interest and equity from the SEC balance sheet & income statement. Effective rate = interest ÷ average debt. Maturity ladder from the SEC long-term-debt repayment schedule. Educational — not a recommendation.

Leverage and buybacks account for 2 points of the 9% return on equity in FY2026. The business earns 6% on the capital it employs; the rest is balance sheet.
ROE is on average equity; ROIC is NOPAT over average invested capital (debt plus equity less excess cash). The gap is not a single adjustment.
$5.2B of goodwill — 50% of invested capital. The gap is what was paid above the fair value of what was bought; it is real capital shareholders provided, so neither bar is the whole answer.
ROIC ex-goodwill is 13.76% against 6.89% reported — the return is earned on a capital base inflated by what was paid for acquisitions, not by the operating business alone.
Cash conversion is 16.55x but SBC is 17.02% of revenue.
Cash conversion is strong at 16.55x, but SBC is 17.02% of revenue — the cash flow looks clean partly because paying people in stock never passes through it.
Covers interest 4.4x even after a 30% EBITDA decline.

This schedule comes from a filing dated 2024-07-31, 822 days old. Maturities are shown relative to that date, not to today.
Ladder as of 2024-07-31 (10-Q); cash from the 2026-01-31 balance sheet; FCF from FY2026.
Balance sheet at 2026-01-31. Undrawn revolving credit is not shown: the tag is collected but not yet mapped through to the API.
The maturity schedule is not part of this verdict — its filing anchor is often older than the balance sheet it sits beside, so a wall inside 24 months may not be visible here.
At $197.82, free cash flow must compound 23.05%/yr for 10 years. It has done 155.09%/yr over 6 years after stock compensation.

This is solved on free cash flow AFTER stock compensation ($775M against $2.30B before it). On the unadjusted figure the requirement would be 8.3%/yr. Which is right depends on whether you think the share issuance is a recurring cost of running the business.

Below the line, the asset base is being consumed faster than it is replaced.
Below the line for 1 year to the latest.
Depreciation here includes amortisation of acquired intangibles — goodwill written down over time, customer lists, acquired technology. Capex does not replace those and is not meant to, so an acquisitive or asset-light company sits below 1.0 permanently and correctly. The signal is cleanest for capital-intensive businesses, where the two measure the same physical base. For that reason this informs the earnings-quality verdict but never caps it.
SBC is added back inside operating cash flow, so reported free cash flow treats shares issued to employees as free. Percent of revenue says how expensive the payroll is; percent of operating cash flow says how much of the cash exists only because the charge was added back. The buyback offset is buybacks over SBC — below 1.0 the repurchase does not cover the shares issued.
Figures are the latest fiscal year (FY2026) from the company's own filings, not a trailing-twelve-month window — Q2 reads fiscal years throughout so the cash-conversion ratios and these share one basis. A blank is a line the filer did not report; it is never read as zero.
