What this transaction means for investors
Pembroke Management, a Montreal-based investment firm, recently disclosed the sale of approximately 249,000 shares of Workiva stock, valued at approximately $17.4 million, during the first quarter (the three months ended March 31, 2026). Here are some key takeaways for investors.
To begin, Workiva stock has struggled over the last few years. Shares have declined by about 46% over the last three years, equating to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.7%. The benchmark S&P 500, meanwhile, has generated a total return of 84% over the same period, with a CAGR of 22.5%.
Yet, despite this lackluster performance, Workiva’s fundamentals look quite good. The company’s quarterly operating margin just hit an all-time high of 6.2%, up from -10.3% just one year ago. Similarly, quarterly revenue growth stands at nearly 20%, near the top of its three-year range.
The problem for Workiva seems to be that market sentiment has been quite bearish on the software sector, which hurts Workiva, since it is a SaaS stock.
However, for long-term investors who remain bullish on the SaaS business model, Workiva may be a stock worth considering.
