Workday's stock initially traded down after the announcement, but then reversed course as the company held its conference call with analysts.

Revenue in the fiscal second quarter increased 34% year-over-year to $377.7 million, ahead of the average analyst expectation of $372.7 million.

On the other hand, the company posted a quarterly loss, excluding certain items, of 4 cents per share, which was worse than the 2 cent loss expected by Wall Street.
