Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 18% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 19, 2025
Salesforce shares have slipped about 12% to their recent average price, but excitement is still high. Investors are watching the September Dreamforce conference, where the company is expected to finally put price tags on its Einstein AI tools. If the stock climbs past $270, some think it could hit $320-$330 within roughly three months, helped by a new $430 goal from JMP and renewed interest in software as market swings calm down.
Primary drivers
- Dreamforce this September could show how Einstein AI will be sold, adding fresh revenue paths.
- Investor enthusiasm is very high, so good news could lift the price faster than profits grow.
- The price has steadied near its average level, a spot where quick upward moves often begin.
- JMP's new $430 goal may attract growth-focused funds that buy after respected analysts act.
