BofA Securities reinstated coverage on Workday Inc. (NASDAQ:WDAY) on Wednesday, issuing a neutral rating and a $140 price forecast.

Entrenchment Limits Displacement Risk

Something went wrong.

Analyst Tal Liani highlighted that Workday remains deeply embedded as a mission-critical system of record for Human Capital Management (HCM) and payroll across major enterprises.

BofA Global Research pointed out that the company serves approximately 65% of the Fortune 500. This structural integration yields an exceptional 97% gross retention rate, rendering the risk of outright displacement by AI-native software highly unlikely.
