SalesForce.com Inc. (CRM) is currently experiencing significant scrutiny amid concerns about the impact of AI on its business model and the broader software-as-a-service (SaaS) sector. Experts note that while CRM has reported earnings growth and maintains a low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, the stock has seen considerable volatility and a downturn from previous highs. The transition to AI and the potential need for changes in revenue models from traditional 'seats' to more outcomes-driven approaches have caused some analysts to recommend caution. Despite these concerns, many consider CRM's entrenched position within the market and the potential for future growth driven by AI integration as positive indicators. Overall, sentiment appears mixed, with some viewing significant upside potential while others remain skeptical about the company's ability to adapt in this rapidly changing landscape.

Question about Hubspot Hubspot is red hot on the market now, but CRM is more seasoned with a reasonable multiple.
HOLD
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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 25/21, Up 20.7%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with CRM has achieved its $275 objective. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position and trailing up the stop (from $190) to $240. If triggered, this would all but guarantee a net investment return over 13%.
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)
