14 Aug 2026, 4:07 AM	CNBC Technology	4.5	Workday shares post best day in 10 years on Silver Lake takeover report Workday shares surged 18% and were halted multiple times on a Reuters report that private equity firm Silver Lake is in talks to acquire the HR software maker, whose market value exceeds $50 billion. Workday's stock had been pressured by fears that AI tools would upend its business model, and co-founder Aneel Bhusri was renamed CEO in March.
