What the Analysts think about Dayforce
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Dayforce stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Private equity firm Thoma Bravo agreed to purchase Dayforce in a $12.3 billion take-private deal at $70.00 per share, representing a 32.4% premium to the previous closing price and delivering immediate, substantial value for shareholders. (Reuters)
Thoma Bravo’s commitment signals strong confidence in Dayforce’s core business, with plans to raise the company’s cash flow margins above 20% while sustaining revenue growth in the mid-teens. (Reuters Breakingviews)
Analysts expect the buyout to help ease Dayforce’s debt load and inject capital for advancing AI capabilities and expanding internationally, which would strengthen its competitive position in the HCM sector. (Reuters)
Dayforce’s cash flow margins lag industry peers at approximately 13.7%, compared to more than 20%, underscoring operational inefficiencies that could constrain its ability to compete as investors increasingly focus on profitability. (Reuters)
Recent consolidation moves by larger HCM providers—Paychex’s $4.1 billion acquisition of Paycor and ADP’s $1.2 billion purchase of WorkForce Software—are heightening competitive pressures, which may erode Dayforce’s market share. (Reuters)
The proposed acquisition remained uncertain during late-stage negotiations, and Dayforce stated it would not provide further updates unless required, exposing shareholders to risks related to deal execution and potential volatility if the transaction does not close. (WSJ)
