Dayforce Inc. (US1567001060) traded with a $11.20 billion market capitalization and a 52-week range of $49.65 to $69.86, while the stock's consensus rating stood at Reduce on August 30, 2026. The shares also changed hands in a 30.36 million-share session, a volume that was more than 11 times the 2.76 million-share average.
Near the top of the range
The stock opened August 30, 2026 in a $69.62 to $69.86 band, leaving it just below the 52-week high. That keeps the market's near-term message simple: the share price is already close to the upper end of the recent trading range, even as the consensus target remains at $70.00.
MarketBeat also listed Dayforce's forward P/E at 47.28, with annual sales of $1.89 billion and net income of $18.10 million. Those figures point to a company that is still scaling revenue while keeping profitability thin.
Revenue and margin picture
In the same data set, trailing EPS was negative at -$0.94 and net margin was -7.91%. Debt-to-equity stood at 0.23, while the current ratio and quick ratio both came in at 1.04, suggesting a balanced short-term liquidity profile.
The comparison that stands out is valuation versus earnings power: the stock traded at a forward multiple of 47.28 while trailing EPS remained negative. That gap explains why the market is still assigning a premium to growth rather than to current profit.
