Artisan Partners made the following comment about Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. (NYSE:CDAY) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

"Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. (NYSE:CDAY) is a cloud-based provider of payroll and human capital management (HCM) software. The company recently won several large enterprise customers (UPS and Amazon-UK, among others), which we believe validates its improved Dayforce HCM platform. To put it into perspective, prior to the most recent quarter, the company’s largest payroll customer was 100,000 employees. The Q2 2022 deal signings included enterprises with as many as 700,000 employees, and deals above $1 million in the quarter were up 50% year-over-year (with a full pipeline of additional large deals). We believe the company’s product investments over the past several years and changes to its sales organization are starting to pay off through the form of deal wins and margin leverage. These positive data points and a reasonable valuation prompted us to initiate a GardenSM position."
