Karen Firestone, CEO, Aureus Asset Management SalesForce.com Inc. CRM-N BUY Sep 25, 2024

They're pushing AI and introducing a lot of services to customers. Good. He uses CRM software. They are increasing rates to customers by 9%. True, a lot of services are not necessary, so he's cancelled them for next year. Other companies will nip at CRM's heels as they roll out more AI. CRM is highly acquisitive. The high USD is hard on non-American customers.

One of the leaders in the technology space, bringing automation into offices. Well managed. Has done extremely well, and this should continue. Fits well into the grand theme of electronics replacing humans.

A strong believer in the CEO, and Morgan Stanley praised how CRM has benefitted its clients. Hold or buy dips.

Is excited with their software pivot. Have $12 billion in free cash flow, fueling $9 billion in buybacks. Dividend is small, but will rise.

They report end of the month; he expects a strong quarter based on AI. Acquisitions they made are becoming accretive.

Is up ahead of earnings today. It's all about Agentforce--what has been the adoption been for this AI tool? Guidance is 9.2%. Will they hit it?

12-month price target of $400, good runway still. Has really monetized the application side of AI, the golden goose that everyone was aiming for. Should report in next couple of weeks.

Just bought it. Likes the AI play. Sold off on weak guidance. AgentForce's margins are expanding up to 34%. Profitable.

They're in the sweet spot for AI which needs customer data--which CRM has. They have a huge install base. Shares are -16.5% this year, so it looks good.

Their AgentForce is a true Agentic AI, which will revolutionize tech. He targets $379.
