Movement Alert|Salesforce Falls 3.23% in Regular Trading, AI Disruption Fears and Below-Consensus Q2 Guidance Trigger Broad Selloff

Market Focus06-02 21:56

On June 2, Salesforce declined 3.23% in regular trading, trading at approximately $198.18 per share with trading volume of $714 million. The decline follows growing market concerns that AI advancements could structurally disrupt the traditional software industry, combined with disappointing forward guidance and a wave of analyst downgrades.

Salesforce previously reported Q2 revenue guidance of $11.27-$11.35 billion, falling short of the consensus estimate of $11.4 billion. Following the report, multiple Wall Street firms cut their target prices: Barclays lowered to $236 from $252, Canaccord Genuity and Baird both cut to $225 from $250, BMO reduced to $215 from $225, and Bernstein dropped to $173 while maintaining an Underperform rating. The selloff was compounded by profit-taking pressure after the stock surged over 10% in the prior session, driven by Anthropic stake revaluation news.

Within the Application Software sector, peers also declined broadly: Palantir fell 5.05%, Intuit dropped 8.98%, and Datadog lost 5.94%, reflecting sector-wide pressure from AI disruption narratives driving capital rotation out of software stocks.
