Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 74, above 70, which is overbought: buyers have been very aggressive and a pause or pullback is common from here.
MACD is above its signal line, a sign that short-term momentum is turning up.
The price is above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of an uptrend.
Volume is only 0.3x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure: ranging / no clear structure.
The most recent swing high is $97.10 and the swing low is $43.34; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Fundamentals
The company reports a profit margin of 4.9% and revenue growth of +18.6%.
In its latest quarter it earned $0.77 per share, which beat the $0.63 analysts expected, with revenue +18.6% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 1.2 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "strong buy", with an average price target of $89.80.

Trade plan from the model

Research notes
Workiva’s bull case is accelerating enterprise demand for its reporting, GRC, and sustainability platform, with recent revenue growth, a return to profitability, improving margins, and potential upside to cash-flow-based valuations. The bear case is its premium valuation—roughly 100x earnings versus materially lower software-sector multiples—combined with cautious CFO budgets, uncertain sustainability-regulation timing, partner-execution risk, and macro pressure on enterprise software spending. The major recent catalyst was its latest quarterly report: revenue reached about $255.3 million, up 18.6% year over year, while EPS of $0.77 exceeded the $0.64 consensus and the company returned to profit. Analyst sentiment remains moderately bullish, with nine of 11 covering firms rating the stock a buy, though the roughly $87 consensus target suggests limited near-term upside from recent prices.
