On September 28, Salesforce.com fell 3.83% in regular trading, trading at $224.79/share, with turnover of $186 million. The stock declined alongside a broad sell-off in enterprise software names, with Microsoft and ServiceNow also sliding to pre-market lows on the same session.
On the news front, the decline reflects growing market skepticism around the near-term commercial viability of Salesforce.com's AI product suite. UBS Securities noted that while the company's newly launched AIforce offering has the potential to drive usage, its price point is too high to generate material near-term traction. Separately, RBC Capital Markets flagged that pricing uncertainty remains the most consistent friction point among channel partners, with some large enterprises exploring build-versus-buy alternatives outside Salesforce.com's ecosystem.
Although Salesforce.com's Dreamforce conference earlier this month delivered a wave of positive catalysts — including a $63 billion revenue target for fiscal 2030 exceeding consensus, the launch of the Koa CRM reasoning model with Nvidia, and expanded partnerships with AWS, Google Cloud, and Siemens — the post-event momentum has faded. As short-term catalysts dissipate, market divergence over AI monetization pace is translating into selling pressure.
