Why is Dayforce (DAY) stock moving?
Dayforce is no longer a public stock. Thoma Bravo completed its roughly $12.3B take-private on Feb 4, 2026, paying $70.00 per share in cash, and the shares were delisted. No market data is available, which fits a delisted ticker. The newest item found is a Sep 22 Fitch rating action. It assigned a 'B' issuer rating with a Stable Outlook and affirmed 'B+' on the $5.5B term loan, and it expects low double-digit growth and easing leverage over 12-18 months. That is credit information, not an equity catalyst. There is no tradable equity for public investors, so no price-based view applies. Any DAY quote still shown by data providers is stale.
