David A Duffield (10% owner) executes 9 scheduled sales totaling 107,500 shares for $14,699,057.42 at WDAY

David A Duffield, a 10% owner of Workday, Inc., executed 9 separate sales totaling 107,500 shares for $14,699,057.42 on 2026-07-09 through a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, reducing his non-derivative holdings from 212,549 shares to 105,049 shares (-50.6%). The blended average price across these transactions was $136.74, while the current stock price stands at $144.87, representing a +10.8% move in the 30-day period following the sale. This filing is part of a scheduled, non-discretionary trading plan, so the timing reflects administrative execution rather than market discretion. Notably, Duffield maintains substantial derivative holdings of 36,453,834 Class B Common Stock shares, meaning this sale represents a partial reduction of his non-derivative holdings rather than a full position exit.

Significance 4

CFO Zane Rowe sells 6,000 shares at $143.70 avg under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan at WDAY

Zane Rowe, CFO of Workday, executed 3 separate sales totaling 6,000 shares for $862,202.74 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-03-07, reducing his holdings by -2.0% to 288,460 shares. The sales occurred at a blended average price of $143.70, within 1 cent of the current price of $143.65 but notably 42.5% below the 52-week high of $249.85. Since this is a scheduled transaction under a 10b5-1 plan rather than a discretionary trade, it reflects a predetermined commitment made in March 2025, not a current market timing decision. Rowe's same-ticker history at WDAY shows mixed outcomes: three prior April 2026 sales saw 30-day and 90-day gains, but two January 2026 sales coincided with significant losses, with 90-day returns of -37.3% and -38.3%.

Robert Enslin sells 5,374 WDAY shares for $724,971.67 via pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan on 2026-07-05

Robert Enslin (President, CCO) executed 8 separate sales totaling 5,374 shares for $724,971.67 on 2026-07-05 at prices ranging from $129.49 to $138.00, reducing his holdings from 244,843 shares to 239,469 shares (-2.2%). This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-09-26, meaning the sales were scheduled and not discretionary. At the current price of $143.65, the stock is -42.5% from its 52-week high of $249.85. His prior open-market sales across all tickers have generated average 90-day returns of -23.3%, while his five prior WDAY-specific sales show mixed outcomes: three January 2026 sales posted 90-day returns of -36.8%, -37.0%, and -37.3%, versus April 2026 sales that posted 90-day returns of +4.7% and +4.2%. The scheduled nature of this filing removes any inference about discretionary timing judgment.

David A Duffield sells 107,500 WDAY shares for $14.5M in 10 transactions on 2026-07-06

David A Duffield, a 10% owner of Workday, executed 10 separate sales totaling 107,500 shares for $14,538,266.99 on 2026-07-06, reducing his direct holdings by 50.6% from 212,549 to 105,049 shares. This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning the sales were scheduled in advance and not a discretionary market timing decision. However, Duffield retains 36,561,334 Class B Common Stock shares held through derivative structures, maintaining a substantial overall position in the company. The blended average sale price of $135.24 compares to the current market price of $143.65, and follows five earlier WDAY sales on 2026-06-25 that remain too recent to measure outcome impact. Investors should note this is a significant reduction in direct common stock, but the insider's core economic exposure to Workday remains substantial through his derivative holdings.

Workday 10% owner Duffield sells 107,500 shares for $13,119,166.14 via scheduled 10b5-1 plan on 2026-06-30

David A Duffield, a 10% owner of Workday, executed 4 separate sales totaling 107,500 shares for $13,119,166.14 at a blended average price of $122.04 on 2026-06-30. This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning it was scheduled rather than discretionary. Post-transaction, Duffield retains 105,049 shares of non-derivative holdings, while maintaining substantial derivative holdings of 36,668,834 shares of Class B Common Stock. The current stock price of $130.27 stands 47.9% below the 52-week high of $249.85, and has declined 17.2% over the last 30 days, creating a market backdrop of material price weakness at the time of execution.

Duffield sells 107,500 WDAY shares for $12.4M via 6 scheduled transactions on 2026-06-25

David A Duffield, a 10% owner, executed 6 separate sales totaling 107,500 shares for $12,426,606.33 at a blended average price of $115.60 on 2026-06-25, reducing his direct non-derivative holdings from 212,549 to 105,049 shares (-50.6%). This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan and therefore scheduled rather than discretionary. Despite the substantial volume of shares sold—over half his non-derivative position—Duffield retains 36,776,334 shares of Class B Common Stock in direct ownership, meaning his overall economic position in Workday remains dominant. The stock has declined 15.5% over the past 30 days and sits 50.5% below its 52-week high of $249.85, though current price of $123.58 remains above the transaction prices. The timing and mechanics of this sale are governed by a pre-established plan rather than a current market decision.

Significance 6

David A Duffield sells 107,500 shares for $12,281,957.49 via 9 transactions under 10b5-1 plan

David A Duffield, a 10% owner of Workday, Inc., executed 9 separate sales totaling 107,500 shares for $12,281,957.49 on 2026-06-22 at prices ranging from $112.08 to $119.84, with a blended average price of $114.25. This represents a -50.6% reduction of his non-derivative holdings from 212,549 shares to 105,049 shares. The transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan and therefore scheduled rather than discretionary. Current market price is $118.09, which is -52.7% from the 52-week high of $249.85 and down -7.8% over the past 30 days. His 5 prior same-ticker sales on 2026-06-17 lack measurable 30-day and 90-day outcomes, preventing assessment of timing patterns at this security.

David A Duffield sold 107,500 shares of WDAY for $14,869,714.97 in 6 transactions via pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan on 2026-06-09

David A Duffield, a 10% owner, executed 6 separate sales totaling 107,500 shares for $14,869,714.97 at a blended average price of $138.32 on 2026-06-09, reducing his non-derivative holdings from 212,549 to 105,049 shares (a 50.6% reduction). The filing is governed by a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning the transaction was scheduled rather than discretionary. His prior trades at WDAY show negative 90-day returns (ranging from -12.1% to -14.2%), indicating poor historical timing at this ticker; however, the current trade's timing cannot be characterized as this is a 10b5-1 execution. The stock is trading at $130.53, down 49.2% from its 52-week high of $257.09, while the company reports healthy fundamentals with $2.5B quarterly revenue, $222.0M net income, and 13.1% annual revenue growth, though the 33.90 P/E reflects elevated valuation expectations. Duffield retains significant derivative holdings of 37,206,334 Class B shares, so his economic exposure to Workday remains substantial.
