CRM: Salesforce Shares Drop on Massive Slowdown in Revenue Growth
- Salesforce suffered a share price drop yesterday after reporting slowing revenue growth.
- Its net income however is remaining strong and had substantial increased from the same quarter a year prior.
- Some analysts believe that the company is well-positioned to take advantage of the current AI boom.
Salesforce shares slumped close to 5% yesterday on the news that the company’s revenue has reached its lowest rate of growth in more than a decade. It’s the same problem causing the dip seen in Hewlett Packard Enterprises, which is a general pullback in the amount companies are spending on cloud computing. Although analysts think that Salesforce is positioned well to capitalize on the recent AI boom.
Another plus was the fact that the company’s net income had risen substantially since the previous quarter – posting $199m compared to just $28m reported a year earlier. From a broader perspective too, Salesforce doesn’t seem to be doing too badly. Since the start of the year, its shares have logged an impressive 57% increase, although they’re still down from their peak near the end of 2021.
