Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Veeva Systems 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

As the debate over remote work vs. in-office mandates continues, Veeva Systems Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VEEV#NYSE">VEEV</a>), a cloud-based software company, stands out as a prime example of how embracing work-from-home (WFH) policies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/40887347/amazon-to-cut-management-layers-end-work-from-home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">can be a winning strategy</a>.
Veeva had the highest volume of remote job postings in 2024, offering roles with salaries ranging from $55,000 to $300,000 annually, Fortune <a target="_blank" href="https://fortune.com/2025/01/24/veeva-most-remote-job-postings-wfh-rto/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>, citing FlexJobs. This has made the company highly attractive to job seekers seeking flexibility, particularly as the job market remains hungry for well-paid remote opportunities.
Remote Work Boosts Stock Returns?
Veeva&#8217;s success with remote work isn&#8217;t just a win for employees—it&#8217;s a sound business strategy, Fortune adds. Research has shown that companies offering WFH options tend to have better stock returns and attract higher-quality talent.
A&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://editorialexpress.com/cgi-bin/conference/download.cgi?db_name=SIEP2021&amp;paper_id=58" rel="noreferrer noopener">paper</a>&nbsp;from University of Melbourne assistant professor of finance Gabriele Lattanzio found that companies offering remote work arrangements outperformed the market, with a 7.44% higher return compared to expected returns.
These companies also had better earnings results and positive stock price reactions.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, VEEV stock has gained over 7% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust Nasdaq Lux Digital Health Solutions ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EKG#NASDAQ">EKG</a>).
Veeva&#8217;s Remote Flexibility vs. JPMorgan&#8217;s Office Mandate:
Founded in 2007, Veeva&#8217;s remote-forward approach was ingrained in the company&#8217;s culture from the start, as its founders operated from separate cities during the company&#8217;s early years.
However, Veeva&#8217;s strategy stands in sharp contrast to companies like JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), which has faced significant employee backlash over its recent mandate requiring staff to return to the office five days a week, Fortune <a target="_blank" href="https://fortune.com/2025/01/17/jpmorgan-chase-union-jamie-dimon-wall-street-return-to-work-employees-anger/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> earlier this month.
JPM stock has gained over 53% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;iShares U.S. Financial Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYG#NYSE">IYG</a>).
In fact, major firms like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), are pushing for a return to office (RTO) policies, despite widespread resistance from employees.
Workers at these companies have voiced frustrations, some even resorting to petitions or quitting in protest, Fortune adds.
The Future of Work: Can Remote Work Gain Ground?
A study found that employees working from home two days a week are just as productive as those in the office every day, Forbes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbesindia.com/article/lifes/wfh-vs-rto-why-empty-offices-are-at-the-heart-of-the-returntooffice-debate/94882/1" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>, citing a survey from Resume.org. Despite this, 28% of business leaders plan to enforce 100% in-person work by 2025, while only 2% will allow less than one office day per week.
As the future of work evolves, Veeva&#8217;s focus on employee happiness and productivity through remote work continues to set the company apart in an increasingly competitive labor market.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Veeva Systems has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Veeva Systems's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Veeva Systems's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.98%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.
