Salesforce – Is it to Fall Even Further?

Short
NYSE:CRM   Salesforce
Fundamental Indicators:
  • Sector – Technology
  • US Business Cycle Stage – late cycle, when this sector is not favourable
  • Revenue – consistent growth for the past 10 years, 26% annual growth 5-year average
  • Profits – significant drop from 2021
  • Net margin – quite low with 3.59% for tech company
  • P/E – extremely high at 188 compared to S&P500 with 21 and Technology sector 27
  • Liabilities - debt ratio is at 0.37 which is within normal limits, Net Debt/ EBITDA is negative – no problems with debt
  • Conclusion – great financial performance for the past 10 years but given the extremely high PE ratio and the current global economic situation it is grossly overpriced, so it is very likely to continue correcting

Technical Analysis (Elliott Waves):
  • Main scenario of this idea suggests that we are still observing development of the global growth cycle which is currently at the stage of completing the first leg of corrective wave 4 (see higher timeframe graph)
  • Since the correction of March 2020, the stock price considerably updated historic highs but slightly choppy with a challenging EW count, in this case an Ending Diagonal has been chosen as wave 5 (see guidelines for Ending Diagonals below)
  • From the high of October 2021 there has been a sharp fall in a clear impulsive move of wave A, followed by a sideway correction in wave B
  • The next move in wave C is expected to reach $115-$122 and this will finalise the first leg of the global corrective wave 4

This is a higher timeframe to reflect the full history of Salesforce and to provide full wave count:
