(Seoul=Yonhap Infomax) Jang Won Lee – Workday Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), a global provider of financial and human resources (HR) software, reported third-quarter results that exceeded market expectations, but issued guidance that fell short of analyst forecasts.


According to CNBC on the 25th (U.S. local time), Workday posted revenue of $2.43 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 (August to October), surpassing the LSEG consensus estimate of $2.42 billion.


Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $2.32, beating the market consensus of $2.18.


With both revenue and EPS exceeding expectations, Workday achieved a so-called "double beat."


However, Workday projected an adjusted operating margin of 28.5% for the fourth quarter, below the market consensus of 28.7%.


The lower-than-expected margin outlook weighed on the stock, sending shares down in after-hours trading.


In after-hours trading, Workday shares fell $15.98 (6.84%) from the regular session close to $217.71.
