Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 59% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 3, 2025
Salesforce's price pulled back and is now moving sideways. Lots more people are buying than usual, and positive investor mood helps balance softer recent results. The AI and automation story remains strong, and more companies are starting to use these tools. Consider buying near the recent average price and add only if it proves strength above $248. Over the next 3 months, a climb is more likely if demand for its add-on modules steadies.
Primary drivers
- Unusually heavy buying suggests steady interest and supports the price
- Chance to sell more as businesses adopt AI across everyday workflows
- Recent average prices trend up despite mixed short-term signals
- Positive investor mood helps balance weaker recent business results
How it played out
CRM: thesis partly played out, target was not reached
Lyra published CRM at $240.90 on 2025-10-03 with a 20% expected gain over the short-term window. The thesis pointed to heavy buying, wider adoption of artificial intelligence across everyday workflows, rising recent average prices, and positive investor mood that could balance weaker recent business results.
Inside the window, CRM rose but did not reach the $288.62 target. The peak was $269.11 on 2025-12-29, for an 11.7% gain. It ended the window at $264.91 on 2026-01-01. The thesis partly played out because the stock moved up, but it stayed below the target. It never got there.
