Dayforce: No Compelling Reason To Stay Invested (Downgrade)
Shares of Dayforce no longer look appealing as valuation multiples against peers have compressed. I'm downgrading the stock to a neutral rating. The company faces the risk of falling interest rates as well as declining headcount levels at many U.S. companies, hurting its seat-based software and payroll products. The stock's ~5x forward revenue and ~15x forward adjusted EBITDA multiples are now fairly priced for its prospects.
