Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 25% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 30, 2025
Salesforce sells software that helps companies manage customers and use AI. Big firms are still upgrading tech, and news shows more partners building on Salesforce. The market for this kind of software is large. The price trend looks healthier with more buyers than usual, and easing interest rates help. A steady 1-3 month rise seems reasonable, but the stock is not cheap, so we prefer buying on dips and trimming near $280-300.
Primary drivers
- More companies are moving to AI and cloud tools, lifting demand for CRM.
- Salesforce's partners are building more add-ons, drawing in new customers.
- Buying interest is stronger than usual, pointing to a healthier price trend.
- High valuation could limit gains, so targets are kept realistic for now.
