This summary was created by AI, based on 29 opinions in the last 12 months.

SalesForce.com Inc. (CRM) is currently facing a challenging environment, characterized by fears surrounding the impact of AI on the software industry. Analysts note that although the company is growing at a respectable rate of around 10% annually, concerns about the potential 'SaaSpocalypse' and diminishing competitive advantages due to AI integration have created uncertainty. Despite this, CRM is considered well-positioned, especially with its recent adoption of AI to enhance productivity. The stock's current valuation ranges from low price-to-earnings ratios of around 11x to 22x, suggesting some experts view it as undervalued, while others perceive it as overvalued based on sentiment rather than fundamentals. Overall, while analysts remain divided on the stock's outlook, many see potential upside if Salesforce successfully manages its AI transition and demonstrates sustained demand for its products.

He's liked this for 14 years. There have been times to sell it, but many more to buy. You can sell this on weakness and buy it back, but you have to be really nimble.

TOP PICK

The shares have rallied since closing the Slack acquisition. They reported a terrific quarter with great guidance. A heavy weight in entreprise software. Social media mentions are up 10% over the last 24 hours.

BUY

Arbitrage pressure kept this down for the better part of a year in anticipation of the Slack acquisition. That deal closed a month ago and CRM shares have rallied 8%. Today, CRM reported a terrific quarter with great guidance.

BUY

They closed their Slack takeover today. They're challenging Microsoft for enterprise software supremacy. The Slack deal means that CRM will no longer by weighed down by arbitrage guys; there's a whole industry of arbitrage which short the buyer in these situations and he thinks that's why CRM stock has been flat since the Slack deal was announced last December. He thinks CRM stock is heading higher.

WAIT

When he looks at the NASDAQ-100, he finds they are at almost 50% premiums to fair market values. As long as we have bull market conditions this should continue. If we have a nasty bear market then their could be a fall like in 2008, after which it recovered.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Morgan Stanley and Bank of America have both recently called for a move towards $273-$275 for the CRM share price. Analysts expect organic growth of 17% annually to continue for the customer relationship management solution company. It continues to build cash reserves, estimated up over $2 billion over the past year, to over $6 billion in total. We would buy this with a stop loss at $190, looking to achieve $275 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $273.63)

COMMENT

They report a super report last time, yet nobody cared. Maybe it's due to them still needing to close the Slack deal. Be careful. They report Thursday.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It passes the Rule of 40: Revenue growth rate + EBITDA margin. If the sum is greater than 40, the company passes. This means, the company can get away with rapid revenue growth and no profitability, or slower revenue growth and high profitability--two ways to win. A senior growth name, though it hasn't been a high-flyer in a long time. It trades at less than 10x sales, but has been stuck in a holding pattern ever since buying Slack late last year. You can buy this for the long-term.

BUY

The Slack acquisition isn't not liked by many, but the CEO is one the best acquirers around, so he thinks it will pay off.

TOP PICK

Cloud and edge computing. Price target of $276 in 12 months. Buy in thirds at $220, 210, and 200. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $273.54)

DON'T BUY

They paid a high price for Slack. She owns MSFT instead of CRM. It comes down to valuation, so if CRM's PE falls, it may be worth owning. Buy a MSFT instead.

BUY

Deferred revenues are a key metric and theirs is much better than expected. Fears of the Slack purchase holding back CRM stock is wrong. Their CEO is good at integrating big deals. This deal can lead to strong cross-selling potential

TOP PICK

Doesn't get loved like Google or Microsoft. They were chastised for buying Slack at a high price, so the share price consolidated, but in recent weeks CRM has broken out. CRM will continue to deliver and move up to $300 with 20% upside relatively soon. (Analysts’ price target is $274.62)
