Salesforce cutting 1,000 roles amid AI push
By: Investing.com | February 3, 2025

Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM) is cutting about 1,000 roles as its new fiscal year begins, Bloomberg reported on Monday, although the firm is still hiring more sales personnel for its artificial intelligence products.

Over 1,000 roles will be affected, although displaced workers will be able to apply for other internal positions, the Bloomberg report said, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

The enterprise software giant had trimmed about 1,000 roles in two separate cuts in 2024, with part of these cuts also at the recently acquired But it had also reportedly hired over 1,000 new sales personnel to sell its new AI products, specifically its generative AI agents.

Salesforce has touted its AI agents as the next major driver of sales in the coming quarters, and has aggressively promoted the technology, which is called Agentforce. The company’s AI agents can act independently in completing some tasks, such as answering basic customer questions and even evaluating potential sales opportunities.

Salesforce has about 72,000 employees across the world as of 2024.

The company’s reshuffling of its employees comes amid similar moves in the broader technology space, especially with the advent of gen AI over the past two years.

2 Cloud Stocks Soaring After Upgrades
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | January 17, 2025

• Shares of Salesforce and Cloudflare are reacting positively to new "buy" ratings

• Both stocks sport attractively priced premium at the moment

Cloud-software stocks Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM) and Cloudflare Inc (NYSE:NET) are getting bullish attention today.

TD Cowen upgraded Salesforce stock to "buy" from "hold" and raised its price target to $400 from $380, citing a "compelling entry point" after the stock’s 8.8% pullback over the past month. In response, CRM is up 2.2% premarket, as it looks to reclaim its Dec. 4 all-time high of $369.

Meanwhile, Cloudflare stock is up 4.2% in premarket trading, after a Citigroup upgrade to "buy" from "neutral" and price-target hike to $145 from $95. The brokerage expressed confidence in NET’s fundamentals and growth potential. Already up 49% year-over-year, the stock is on track to open near its mid-December, two-year highs.

Options traders remain bearish on both equities, but today's upgrades could inspire a sentiment shift.

NET’s Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) stands at 1.39, placing it in the highest possible percentile of annual readings, signaling an extreme put bias. CRM’s SOIR stands at 0.99, which is higher than 84% of readings from the past year, further confirming bearish positioning among short-term options traders.

For those looking to take advantage, options are attractively priced. Salesforce stock’s Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 26% ranks in the 10th percentile of its annual range, while Cloudflare stock’s SVI of 55% stands in the 21st percentile. This suggests options traders are currently pricing in lower volatility expectations.

Salesforce (CRM) Becoming a Force in AI
By: Lucas Downey | December 11, 2024

• The Salesforce, Inc. (CRM) platform is allowing users to deploy AI at scale and bringing in Big Money investment.

CRM’s customer relationship management platform organizes sales data, tracks leads, forecasts opportunities, and applies AI-driven insights to organizational data. The platform also supports automated quotes, contracts, invoices, and personalized support. Recently, the company announced the ability to build, deploy, and monitor business-specific AI agents with its Agentforce Testing Center.

In its third-quarter earnings report for fiscal 2025, CRM’s total revenue increased 8.3% year-over-year to $9.4 billion. The company’s per-share earnings was $2.41 and expects full-year EPS of up to $6.20. Also, CRM’s operating margin hit 20% for the first time in company history, with executives citing a bigger top line and well-managed expenses as reasons why.

It’s no wonder CRM shares are up 34% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how a rare bullish signal reflects Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.

Also, EPS is estimated to ramp higher this year by +11.6%.

CRM share price at $360+ AH with CEO Benioff interviewed by Cramer. Total disruption of world labor force discussed.

Pretty ugly. Growth has stopped. They had $1.49 per share in net income in Q4 of prior year. Now they are projecting only $1.57 in net income for Q4 in the upcoming quarter. This is only 5% growth and is no higher than inflation. CRM can no longer keep up with inflation. The company has stalled and no longer has any real growth. The balance sheet is also looking worse.

Salesforce (CRM) stock stands out as the SPX component with the worst December returns
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | December 2, 2024

• The 25 Worst S&P Stocks to Own in December

• CRM tops the list ahead of tomorrow's earnings report

Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM) stock is 0.5% higher to trade at $331.52 at last glance, as the cloud software company prepares for its third-quarter earnings report, due out after the close on Tuesday, Dec. 3. While earnings could cause some short-term volatility, there's a seasonality picture taking form that's more worrisome in the long term.

According to Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of the 25 worst returns in December, CRM is the worst performing stock on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) when looking at data from the last 10 years.

Per White's analysis, the security finished the month lower nine times over the last decade, averaging a 4.7% drop and beating sector peers Oracle (ORCL) and Paycom Software (PAYC). A move of similar magnitude would put Salesforce stock near the $315, an area it's traded above since early November.



On the charts, Salesforce stock has been on a tear, finishing 11 of the last 15 weeks higher. This November was the stock's best monthly performance in a year, with help from the 20-day moving average. However, the recent outperformance could have the stock due for a short-term pullback.



Circling back to earnings, Salesforce stock has a mixed history of next-day sessions, finishing four higher and four lower over the last two years. Regardless of direction, the equity averaged a 7.5% swing the day after reporting, and the options pits are pricing in a slightly larger move of 10.3% this time around.

Salesforce Rising on AI Business, Financial Performance
By: Lucas Downey | November 15, 2024

CRM offers enterprise-level customer relationship management solutions that organize sales data, track leads, forecast opportunities, and apply AI-driven analytics to organizational data. The platform also supports automated quotes, contracts, invoices, and personalized support. Recently, the company announced the ability to build AI agents able to handle many business functions.

In its second-quarter earnings report, CRM delivered revenue of more than $9 billion, which is 8.4% more than a year prior. It generated more than $3.1 billion in operational income from that revenue, which is a 15.5% jump from the year-ago value. Per-share earnings rose 20.8% to $2.56. Also, the company initiated a dividend this year, with the current yield at nearly 0.5%.

It’s no wonder CRM shares are up 19% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how a rare bullish signal reflects Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.

Salesforce (CRM) Stock Could Keep Surging After Breakout
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | October 4, 2024

• CRM broke above above resistance at the $265-$267.50 range

• The 200-day moving average is guiding shares higher

Blue-chip software stock Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM) broke above resistance at the $265-$267.50 range late last week, which also coincides with its year-to-date breakeven level. Plus, the shares went on to stage a bounce after a retest of this level.

CRM also just crossed above its 200-day moving average, which is still sloping higher. With these layers of technical support in place, now looks like a good time to bet on the stock’s next leg higher.



In the options pits, Salesforce stock’s 50-day put/call volume ratio of 0.85 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) sits in the 91st percentile of its annual range, meaning options traders have been much more bearish than usual. The last two rollovers from this area have marked bottoms around it.

Options look like a good way to go when considering CRM, as it’s seeing well-priced premium at the moment. This is per the stock’s Schaeffer’s Volatility Index (SVI) of 24%, which ranks in the low 12th percentile of its 12-month range.

Our recommended November call has a leverage ratio of 11.4, and will double on an 8.9% rise in the underlying shares.

Interesting situation.

We shall see what comes out of this.

I was surprised with nvda as well.

And, both charts do not look too good either.

However, charts follow and what drives stock prices are what's happening in real life and the future that unfolds. Charts are not the driver anyway They are bases for interpretations and guesses for what may likely to happen in the future.

We shall see.
