Additionally, he sees signs of “healthy deal activity, including some megadeals,” within large-enterprise clients. He called out wins in key categories like financial services and professional services. Zelnick noted that he has less visibility into Workday’s international business, “though what we’ve been hearing more generally sounds positive relative to modest expectations embedded in Street models.”Despite his short-term buy call on the stock ahead of the earnings report, he kept a hold rating on the stock over a longer span.
