Workday Soars Most On Record As Silver Lake Weighs $43 Billion Buyout

Workday shares jumped the most on record during late-afternoon trading on Thursday after a Reuters report said Silver Lake was in discussions to acquire the human-resources and financial-management software company.

According to the report, the deal would value Workday at $43 billion and rank among the largest software buyouts in history.

Here’s more from the report:

Silver Lake and the human-resources and financial management software company have held discussions about a potential deal in recent months, the people said. The talks are ongoing and there is no guarantee a deal will materialize, said the sources, ‌who ⁠spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions are confidential.

For context, Workday is a large enterprise-software company whose cloud platform helps organizations manage:

Human resources, payroll and employee benefits
Recruiting, workforce planning and performance
Accounting, budgeting and financial reporting
Procurement and expenses
Business analytics and AI agents

Shares of Workday soared as much as 25%…

the largest one-day gain on record, with trading data dating back to 2012.

Workday, like many other software companies, suffered a vicious bear market earlier this year amid the “SaaSpocalypse” …

… as investors feared that artificial intelligence models would erode the value of costly software products.
