Workday's Q2 beat, accelerating AI adoption and a higher-margin outlook shift attention to whether AI can drive fiscal 2028 growth.

Workday pairs 13% subscription growth, rising AI adoption and strong cash flow with a mixed valuation and ongoing competition and execution risks.

Workday's 49.7% three-month rally is backed by stronger Q2 results, AI contract growth and margin gains, while valuation and competition remain checks.
