Workday Navigates AI-Driven Dilemma After Solid Q4 Earnings

Workday posted solid Q4 results with adjusted operating income above expectations, but issued weak guidance for fiscal 2027 and showed a year-end subscription backlog about $1 billion below analyst forecasts, triggering a after-hours stock drop. The rise of AI, especially agent software that can automate development tasks, threatens traditional software models and creates an innovator’s dilemma for incumbents like Workday. The company plans to defend its current revenue while expanding into AI agents, a transition led by co-founder and CEO Aneel Bhusri who says cloud software isn’t getting replaced, it’s being built upon.

Minnesota ICE Chief Counsel Steps Down as Immigration Litigation Overloads Courts

Minnesota ICE Chief Counsel Steps Down as Immigration Litigation Overloads Courts

Jim Stolley, the longtime chief counsel for ICE in Minnesota, has retired as a flood of lawsuits tied to the state’s immigration crackdown overwhelms the federal court system. Judges have criticized ICE for ignoring court orders, and U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen says the civil division handling such cases is seriously understaffed. In January alone, more than 427 immigration lawsuits were filed, contributing to a backlog of about 3.8 million pending deportation cases mid-2025. Stolley’s departure comes amid broader strain on leadership as the system grapples with the surge in detainee-related litigation.

UK courts on the brink: ex-judge urges sweeping overhaul to clear backlogs

Former senior judge Sir Brian Leveson warns England and Wales’ court system is on the brink of collapse due to record trial backlogs that could reach 100,000; his final report calls for 130 efficiency reforms across courts, prisons, prosecutors and police—including more video remote hearings, allowing prison vans to use bus lanes, better case preparation, AI tools, and a dedicated criminal justice adviser—and says piecemeal fixes won’t suffice; the government will respond in coming weeks, with the backlog worsened since the pandemic and some cases delayed into 2030.

Minnesota ICE attorney reassigned after blunt critique of backlog to judge

An ICE attorney assigned to Minnesota amid the Trump administration crackdown was removed from her post and sent back to ICE after telling a federal judge that the job sucks due to the crushing workload and the government’s apparent inability to comply with court orders; judges have criticized missteps and warned of contempt, and she was reassigned to ICE as the crackdown continues.

SMCI Readies Q2 Report as Analysts Stay Cautious and Options Signal Big Move

SMCI Readies Q2 Report as Analysts Stay Cautious and Options Signal Big Move

SMCI is set to report its Q2 FY2026 results after the close on Feb 3; the Street expects revenue to surge about 83% year over year to around $10.42 billion with adjusted EPS near $0.49, down from a year ago, while a backlog above $13 billion underscores robust demand but margins may come under pressure from competition and supply constraints. DOJ accounting scrutiny remains a potential risk; options traders price in roughly a 12.3% move post-earnings, and analysts are mixed with a Hold consensus (targets from $26 to $63, average around $44, implying about 51% upside).

Microsoft's AI-Backlog Boom: Demand Surges but Conversion Mired in Uncertainty

Microsoft's AI-Backlog Boom: Demand Surges but Conversion Mired in Uncertainty

Microsoft posted solid Q2 results with 17% revenue growth and 24% non-GAAP EPS growth, while its commercial remaining performance obligations surged 110% YoY to a record $625 billion, driven by AI-enabled cloud demand. Yet RPOs are contracted backlog, not guaranteed revenue, and only about 25% is expected to be recognized in the next 12 months; OpenAI accounts for roughly 45% of the backlog, signaling concentration risk. Azure growth cooled modestly to 38% CC, and capex jumped 66% to $37.5 billion, highlighting uncertainty around how quickly backlog translates into revenue and margins. Valuation remains reasonable around a 27x P/E, but investors should approach with caution and small allocations given the higher risk and heavy cloud-capacity investment.

UK Driving Test Backlog Extends Wait Times Until 2027

Learner drivers face a 24-week wait for practical driving tests due to a backlog caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with delays expected to persist until November 2027. The backlog has led to increased costs for test slots, exploitation by third-party sellers, and frustration among learners. The government and DVSA are taking measures, including hiring more examiners and restricting third-party bookings, to address the issue.
