The company’s solutions are expanding from core HR into financials, “with future potential in planning and spend management,” the analyst stated.

Workday’s subscription growth is likely to be driven by “the continued displacements of legacy solutions, a large expansion opportunity following a successful evolution into a multi-product platform, and an underappreciated M&A engine, coupled with a clear path to 30%+ margins long term,” Jaluria wrote.
