In acquisition talks, so shares are down 5% today. It's testing its 100-day moving average, not since November. Was a serial buyer of businesses. He hopes AI is a way for them to grow. We'll see where the latest deal goes.

12-month price target of $318. Stick with it. Poster child of customer relationship management.

They reported after today's bell a modest top and bottom line beat and higher full-year sales forecast, but bears picked up on the light operating margin and revenue guidance a little weak. Shares are selling after hours, but shares also ran up before the report.

CRM saw three upgrades this week. A longtime favourite of his. It reports Wednesday. The stock may come in too hot before the report, which worries him, but if the quarter disappoints, buy it by Friday.

You could take profits, but wait till they report. He'd sell calls around $285-290. There's going to be resistance around the high of October 2021. He'd add again around $260, and then $250.

Excellent company, and would recommend holding. Wait for share price weakness before buying given high valuation.

It reports next week. Two analysts just lowered price targets, but he likes this space, also owning Adobe and Microsoft

They have operational efficiency now and should be applauded. Before, they were spending a lot in buying companies. He bought this last April and is glad with its move up. Likes that they were focusing on their balance sheet.
