On May 18, Salesforce rose 3.37% in regular trading, trading at $179.95 per share, with trading volume of $493 million. The gain extends a broader software sector rally that saw the stock rise nearly 4% in the prior session.
The rebound comes after Salesforce experienced consecutive declines earlier in the month driven by AI disruption concerns and analyst downgrades. Supporting the recovery, Mizuho maintained its outperform rating on the stock while adjusting its price target to $250, and the average analyst target remains at $259.53 according to FactSet polling — well above the current trading level. The company has also been actively expanding its AI capabilities, recently partnering with Ribbon Communications on an agentic AI contact center offering called Agentforce Contact Center, and broadening its collaboration with Pearson to strengthen workforce AI readiness across its global operations.
