Ceridian stock closed on the New York Stock Exchange at USD 22.40 on September 18, 2026, after moving between an intraday low of USD 21.80 and a high of USD 22.90 and ending the day down 1.8% from the prior close. Compared with a recent peak near USD 24.90 earlier in September, the September 18, 2026 close left the shares roughly 10% below that high while broader large-cap technology names showed more muted swings.
September 18, 2026 in numbers
Ceridian Dayforce Inc. (ISIN US1567001060) saw trading volume on September 18, 2026 close at 1,250,000 shares on the New York Stock Exchange, above its recent average as the stock moved within a USD 1.10 intraday range between USD 21.80 and USD 22.90. The closing price of USD 22.40 on September 18, 2026 was down 1.8% from the prior session, while the Nasdaq Composite index finished the same day with a gain of 0.39% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.18%, highlighting that Ceridian underperformed the broader technology benchmark but fared differently from the blue-chip average.
On a week-to-date basis through the September 18, 2026 session, Ceridian stock stood roughly 3.5% below its level at the start of the week, compared with a decline of about 1.7% in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and a gain of around 0.7% in the Nasdaq Composite over the same period. Within its recent 52-week trading band from approximately USD 18.00 to USD 24.90, the September 18, 2026 New York close at USD 22.40 left the shares nearer the upper half of that range but still below the latest high, framing the stock as having room to retest that recent peak if sentiment in the technology sector improves.
Today’s drivers and upcoming dates
Today, Ceridian faces the usual sensitivity to United States labor market indicators and interest rate expectations that shape valuations in human-capital and payroll software names. Upcoming economic releases on employment and inflation over the next few days, together with any commentary from Federal Reserve officials on the policy outlook, can influence rate expectations and therefore discount factors that matter for Ceridian’s cash flow driven valuation. Peer moves in cloud and software as a service names around these macro data points are also likely to provide context for how Ceridian stock trades once the New York session opens.
