Why now
Software - Application · market cap $2.9b. Down 46% from 52-week high of $97.09 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +20%, comfortably above the S&P median. 10 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $77.80 (implying +49% upside).
Moat
Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income — non-cash charges (depreciation, intangible amortization) are holding down GAAP earnings while cash generation stays strong. Software economics — recurring revenue, embedded customer workflows, and high gross margin all compound the moat once a base account is won. Switching costs are the lever.
Risk
Down 46% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Net margin 1.5% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE -113% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
Horizon
1-3 yr $77.80 (10-analyst consensus) — catalyst-driven; binary events dominate. 5 yr $136.07 — requires the platform / technology to reach commercial scale. 10 yr $345.08 — return distribution heavily skewed.

Workiva Inc. (WK): score, valuation & FAQ

Workiva Inc. (WK) is a Software - Application company that scores 71.5 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Rev (B+) and P/S (B+). On valuation, WK sits about 19% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is WK a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores WK 71.5 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by Rev (B+) and P/S (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Workiva Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does WK score 71.5 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). WK earns its highest marks on Rev (B+) and P/S (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is WK overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $52.33, WK sits about 19% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in WK?

Down 46% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Net margin 1.5% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE -113% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
