Despite reporting weaker-than-expected Q3 2025 adjusted EPS of $0.37 on Oct. 29, Dayforce shares recovered marginally the next day. Total revenue met expectations at $481.6 million (up 9.5% YoY), recurring revenue excluding float rose 14% to $333 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased to $147.3 million with a 30.6% margin.
