For fiscal 2025, analysts forecast the provider of human-resources software and services to report EPS of $1.46, up 47.5% from $0.99 in fiscal 2024.
Shares of Dayforce have risen 8.3% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 12.1% return and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLI) 21.7% gain over the same period.
Despite reporting better-than-expected Q1 2025 adjusted EPS of $0.58 and revenue of $481.8 million, Dayforce shares fell 6.4% on May 7 due to a weaker-than-expected Q2 revenue forecast of $454 million - $460 million. Additionally, the company's February announcement of a 5% workforce reduction signaled internal cost pressures despite top-line growth.
Analysts' consensus view on Dayforce stock is cautiously optimistic, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Among 17 analysts covering the stock, nine suggest a "Strong Buy," one has a "Moderate Buy," six give a "Hold," and one provides a "Strong Sell" rating.
As of writing, the stock is trading below the average analyst price target of $67.80.

Samsung to Make Tesla AI Chips in Multiyear Texas Deal
(Bloomberg) -- Samsung Electronics Co. will produce AI semiconductors for Tesla Inc. in a new $16.5 billion pact that marks a win for its underperforming foundry division. The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy Budapest's Most Historic Site Gets a Controversial Rebuild South Korea's largest company announced on Monday that it secured the 22.8 trillion won chipmaking agreement, which will run through the end of 2033. The plan is for an upcoming plant in Taylor, Texas, to produce Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip, Tesla chief Elon Musk said on X, confirming a Bloomberg News report. Samsung's Seoul-traded shares rose 6.8%, to their highest since September, while its suppliers like Soulbrain Co. jumped as much as 16%. A Samsung spokesperson declined to comment, citing confidentiality terms in its contract. 'The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate,' Musk, 54, wrote on X. He described the value of the deal announced by Samsung as 'just the bare minimum. Actual output is likely to be several times higher.' The Tesla chief executive officer and X owner will walk the chip fabrication line himself and has been authorized by Samsung to assist in optimizing production, he said. The AI6 component will form the foundation of Tesla's self-driving hardware suite for cars in coming years. Samsung produces the current AI4 system, according to Musk. The contract win, the first after Executive Chairman Jay Y. Lee was cleared of all outstanding legal charges, comes as Samsung has been steadily losing ground in chip manufacturing. The company, which makes its own memory chips and also fabricates semiconductors on behalf of clients, has had difficulty bringing in enough orders to fully utilize its foundry capacity. It has postponed completion of construction and operational ramp-up of its new Texas fab to 2026. 'Their foundry business has been loss-making and struggling with under-utilization, so this will help a lot,' said Vey-Sern Ling, managing director at Union Bancaire Privee in Singapore. 'Tesla's business may also help them to attract other customers.' That's in contrast to leading chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which still cannot meet all demand. TSMC held a dominant share of 67.6% of the global foundry market in the first quarter this year, according to Taipei-based TrendForce. Samsung's share slipped to 7.7% from 8.1% in the previous quarter. Samsung and TSMC are both on pace to deliver the next generation of semiconductor advancement — moving to 2-nanometer fabrication — and the new deal is seen as a signal of confidence for the company's upcoming fabrication technology. While the contract may represent a small share of foundry revenue annually, it holds greater value as a catalyst for technological refinement and innovation over the long run, according to Ryu Young-ho, an analyst at NH Investment & Securities Co. It also helps burnish Samsung's reputation as the strongest TSMC alternative at a time when Intel Corp. is struggling to win over investors skeptical about its long-term strategy and road map. What Bloomberg Intelligence Says Samsung Electronics' new contract to supply semiconductors implies a recovery in its foundry business' 2-nanometer generation chip production. The $16.5 billion contract spans 2025-33 and could boost Samsung's foundry sales by 10% annually, we calculate. — Masahiro Wakasugi and Takumi Okano Click here for the full research --With assistance from Seyoon Kim, Linda Lew, Abhishek Vishnoi and Vlad Savov.
