1 Glorious Growth Stock to Buy Hand Over Fist Heading Into 2026, According to Wall Street

Workiva, which centralizes data across enterprise productivity, storage and finance apps, has rolled out an AI virtual assistant, Workiva AI, to auto-draft regulatory disclosures and surface insights, speeding reporting workflows. The company reported Q3 2025 revenue of $224 million, up 21% year-over-year and above guidance, and raised full-year 2025 revenue guidance to a $881 million midpoint after accelerating growth in large-account ACVs (≥$300k and ≥$500k up 41% and 42% YoY) and a 114% net revenue retention rate. Wall Street is broadly bullish (majority buy/overweight, average price target $106.90 implying ~16% upside, street-high $115 implying ~25%), and Workiva’s P/S of 6.1 is below its long-term 7.2 average, while a ~$35 billion addressable market supports potential longer-term upside.

Analysis

Workiva’s product proposition centers on unifying dispersed enterprise data and accelerating reporting workflows; the company recently launched Workiva AI, an assistant that ingests an organization’s stored documents to draft regulatory disclosures, surface overlooked insights, and provide pre-prepared prompts to speed non‑regulatory reporting. The functionality directly addresses a multi-application data problem faced by large enterprises and supports the company’s positioning with higher-budget customers, which the article cites as driving a projected record revenue year in 2025. Workiva reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of $224 million, beating management’s guidance midpoint of $219 million and rising 21% year over year, which prompted a second upward revision to full‑year 2025 revenue guidance to a $881 million midpoint. Momentum is concentrated in large-account sales: customers with ACVs of at least $300k and $500k increased 41% and 42% year over year in Q3 (up from 37% and 35% in Q2), and net revenue retention reached 114%, the highest in several years — indicating expansion from existing customers and accelerating high‑value contract growth. Analyst sentiment is broadly bullish: of 12 WSJ-tracked analysts nine rate the stock buy, two overweight and one hold, with an average price target of $106.90 (implying ~16% upside) and a street-high $115 target (~25% upside). Valuation on a price‑to‑sales basis is 6.1 versus a long-term company average of 7.2, suggesting roughly an 18% re-rating potential to historical mean absent further revenue growth; key monitoring points implied by the article are continued large-account ACV acceleration, maintenance of the 114% NRR, and execution and adoption of Workiva AI among enterprise clients given the business concentration in high-spending customers.
