One of the stock holdings of Maplelane is Workday, Inc. Workday is an online software application which helps manage human resource management and other business affairs. The stock price of this company performed well during the past 6 months. Unfortunately, the stock price did not start well in the beginning of the current year. According to Cooper Investors: “Workday is the Cloud leader in Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financials software. We first met WDAY 7 years ago as a much smaller enterprise but today it’s on the verge of reporting ~US$4bn in revenues. WDAY has had great success in its HCM offering particularly with the world’s largest companies. However, its Financials product has seen more muted growth with customers reluctant to shift such a core function to the Cloud, success here tending to be in the mid-market.” Another stock holding of the Maplelane firm is Tencent Holdings Limited. The hedge fund reported big earnings during the third quarter of the last year from Tencent stocks. During that period, the stock price of this company was 20% higher as compared to the past.
