AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

Workday's premium valuation now depends on converting early AI adoption into measurable installed-base revenue acceleration and sustained margin gains before subscription growth slows toward ~11%; investors should wait for proof in backlog, pricing, and guidance, as weak monetization could drive sharp multiple compression.
