Shares of Workday surged over 20% after reports emerged that private equity firm Silver Lake is in talks to acquire the cloud-based enterprise software company. Workday, known for its HR, payroll, and financial management solutions, has a loyal customer base including Netflix and US Bank. The acquisition interest comes as Workday's stock had fallen about 15% earlier in the year due to concerns over AI competition. Silver Lake views Workday as a valuable asset trading at a discount, boosting investor confidence and pushing the stock price above an analyst's $205 target to $206.45.
