On June 2, Salesforce declined 3.1% in pre-market trading at $203.62/share, with trading volume of approximately $10.02 million. The drop follows a wave of Wall Street target price cuts after the company's Q1 FY27 earnings report delivered mixed signals.
While Salesforce posted adjusted EPS of $3.88 (well above the $3.12 consensus) and revenue of $11.133 billion (up 13% YoY), its Q2 revenue guidance of $11.27-11.35 billion fell short of the $11.4 billion analyst expectation. Multiple firms subsequently lowered targets: Barclays cut to $236 from $252, Canaccord Genuity and Baird both reduced to $225 from $250, BMO trimmed to $215, Bernstein lowered to $173 maintaining an underperform rating, and Wells Fargo cut to $200. Additionally, the company's $250 billion debt-funded accelerated share repurchase program raised leverage concerns, while free cash flow growth guidance was significantly reduced. Broader market anxiety over AI potentially disrupting the seat-based SaaS model continues to weigh on the stock, which has declined approximately 33% year-to-date.
