Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Roberto Pedone]

  My first earnings short-squeeze play is enterprise cloud applications player Workday (WDAY), which is set to release numbers on next Monday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Workday to report revenue of $205.11 million on a loss of 10 cents per share.

  The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Workday is pretty high 9.1%. That means that ou! t of the ! 98.06 million shares in the tradable float, 8.99 million shares are sold short by the bears. If the bulls get the earnings news they're looking for, then shares of WDAY could easily rip sharply higher post-earnings as the bears rush to cover some of their bets.

  From a technical perspective, WDAY is currently trending above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has pulled back recently off its high of $97.40 to its low of $90.08 a share. Shares of WDAY are now starting to bounce a bit higher off that $90.08 low and it's approaching a possible breakout trade that could hit post-earnings.

  If you're bullish on WDAY, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at around $96 to $97.40 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1.47 million shares. If that breakout triggers post-earnings, then WDAY will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $105 to $110, or even its 52-week high of $116.47 a share.

  I would simply avoid WDAY or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout and then drops back below both its 50-day at $87.17 and its 200-day at $86.31 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then WDAY will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at $72 to around $78 a share.
