Workday appears to be overvalued by 45% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation.

Workday is experiencing astounding revenue growth. Interestingly, Workday's profits grew in 2020. Workday's quarterly gross profit grew from $691.52 million on 31 January 2020 to $712.75 million on 30 April 2020 to $777.69 million on 31 July 2020.
There are two requisites for buying the dip: a sharp decline in stock prices, and a strong indication that they'll rise again.

The S&P 500 Index originally began in 1926 as the "composite index" comprised of only 90 stocks.1? According to historical records, the average annual return since its inception in 1926 through 2018 is approximately 10%–11%.
The average stock market return is about 10% per year for nearly the last century. The S&P 500 is often considered the benchmark measure for annual stock market returns. Though 10% is the average stock market return, returns in any year are far from average.

$1,000 in Amazon just ten years ago, you'd have more than $19,000 today.

Peloton Stock Will Continue to Rise on Strong Demand for Its Products, Analysts Say. Analysts, though, continue to be mostly bullish on the at-home fitness company because of the strong demand for its products. The pandemic has pushed Peloton's shares up 348% in 2020.

Slack's stock drops after Morgan Stanley says Covid-related spending is going to rivals Microsoft and Zoom. Microsoft and Zoom are winning an “outsized share of the Covid spending rush,” the analysts said.

Given the company's growth potential relative to its valuation, I think Facebook stock remains a buy. Earnings growth may slow dramatically in 2021. However, given the valuation and continuing growth prospects, Facebook offers tremendous value.
