The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 5, 2026 (estimated)

Workiva Inc's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 19.7% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 20.7%.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$50 per share in the base case (~$38–$66 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Gross margin expanding: TTM gross margin reached 80.2%, up 3.4pp year over year.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Fast growth. Revenue grew 19.7% over the last 12 months, against a median of 12.0% for application software companies we cover.
  • Margins widening. Operating margin is up 13.4 points on a year ago.
  • Strong cash generation. 20.7% of revenue turned into free cash flow, against a median of 15.2% for application software companies we cover.
  • Net cash. Cash exceeds long-term debt by $0.3bn.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Results due soon. Results are expected around 4 November; the share price can move sharply on the day.
  • Priced above our value. The share price of $84.77 is 41% above our value per share of $50.
  • High earnings multiple. The shares trade at 102 times the last 12 months' earnings, so expectations are demanding.
  • Volatile shares. Over the past year the shares showed annualised volatility of 45% and a beta of 0.0 against the S&P 500.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Workiva Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($42.2M, FY2026 Q2 TTM), growing 17.2% and 17.8% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 19% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$38–~$66 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Workiva Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $42.2M, FY2026 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Workiva Inc as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 9.1%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.92 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Workiva Inc’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: rated Sell.

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: no liquid put and call pair for the same expiry.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
