Dayforce, a global human capital management (HCM) software company headquartered in Minneapolis, reported strong revenue growth and a robust recurring revenue model in 2024 and early 2025, driven by demand for cloud-based HCM tools and new AI-powered features like Dayforce Co-Pilot. The company achieved a 16.3% sales growth in 2024 and 11.7% growth in Q1 2025, with annualized recurring revenue reaching $1.47 billion. Despite a 15.83% share price increase over the year to June 30, 2025, shares have declined 7.93% from their 50-day average due to market volatility and investor activity. Dayforce maintains a 98% gross revenue retention rate, a strong net cash position (net debt to EBITDA of –16.06×), and $171.5 million in free cash flow for 2024. However, it faces challenges including low operating margins of 4.06%, a high forward P/E ratio of 357.91×, significant market volatility (35.60%), and competitive pressure from established players like Workday, ADP, and Paychex. The company has a $500 million share buyback program and is expanding internationally, with analysts maintaining a 'Buy' consensus and a median target price of $67.33. Key risks include execution issues, platform reliability, regulatory compliance, and macroeconomic sensitivity.
