Frequently asked questions

What is Dayforce Inc.'s revenue?

Dayforce Inc.'s trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.89B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.

How profitable is DAY?

In its most recent fiscal year, DAY ran a gross margin of 46.14%, an operating margin of 5.91%, and a net margin of 1.03%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.

How much free cash flow does DAY generate?

DAY produced $171.50M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.

Is DAY's balance sheet healthy?

DAY holds $579.70M in cash and equivalents against $1.21B in long-term debt, on $2.55B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
