Workday reported first fiscal quarter earnings that beat Wall Street’s expectations, but the company lowered its annual revenue forecast for fiscal 2025. This led to a significant drop in Workday shares (down 13%), and Salesforce stock also declined due to the connection between the two companies. Workday posted adjusted EPS of $1.74 and total revenue of $1.99 billion, both higher than expected. Despite the positive Q1 results, analysts maintain a positive outlook on Salesforce’s long-term prospects.
