Workday shares (WDAY), a human resources software company, fell 8% on Wednesday after it predicted lower-than-expected subscription service revenue for the full year. 

In fiscal 2025, the company expects subscription revenue to reach $7.703billion. The company had predicted a range between $7.700 billion to $7.725 million last quarter. Visible Alpha’s analysts expected $7.714billion. Workday believes that the non-GAAP margin of operating profit will also be 25,0%. This also falls short of some expectations.
