Description: DAY Dayforce November 04, 2025

Dayforce Inc. (NYSE: DAY) is a cloud-based human capital management (HCM) software provider operating in the United States, Canada, Australia, and other international markets. Its flagship platform, Dayforce, integrates HR, payroll and tax, workforce management, employee benefits, a digital wallet, and talent-intelligence modules, while the Powerpay solution targets small-business payroll needs. The firm also delivers payroll-related services, professional implementation and training, and hardware such as time-clock devices, distributing its offerings through a direct sales force and third-party partners.

Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the company rebranded from Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. to Dayforce Inc. in February 2024. In FY 2023 the company reported revenue of roughly $1.6 billion, a year-over-year increase of about 12%, and its subscription annual recurring revenue (ARR) now exceeds $2.1 billion with a reported churn rate near 5%-metrics that signal strong customer stickiness in a market where cloud HCM spend is projected to grow at a ~10% CAGR through 2028.

Key economic drivers include a tight labor market that pushes employers toward automated payroll and compliance solutions, as well as rising regulatory complexity around payroll taxes and benefits administration, both of which bolster demand for integrated, cloud-native HCM platforms.
