Timeframe

Short-term (0–3 months)

Salesforce has a real short-term driver: borrowing to buy back lots of its own stock. That buyback can prop the price for a few months, and demand for AI-powered business software is a helpful background trend. But many investors are already excited, so it is safer to wait for a pullback instead of buying at the highest prices.

Primary drivers

Company is buying back a lot of shares, which can lift the stock
Strong interest in AI tools for business helps sales growth
If small drops hold, the upward trend can keep going
High excitement means wait for pullbacks before buying

How it played out

CRM: target was not reached

Lyra published CRM at 198.8 on 2026-03-12 with expected growth of 12%. The thesis pointed to heavy share buybacks as a short-term support for the stock, plus demand for artificial intelligence business software. It also warned that excitement was already high and that pullbacks mattered.

Inside the 2026-03-12 to 2026-06-10 window, CRM peaked at 211.32 on 2026-06-01. That was a 6.3% gain, but it stayed below 222.66. The target was never reached. The stock ended at 170.92, so the thesis only partially played out.

What happened during the window

On 2026-05-27, Salesforce reported first-quarter results, with revenue of $11.1 billion and adjusted earnings of $3.88 a share. On 2026-06-10, Business Insider reported a new round of Salesforce job cuts affecting roles tied to Agentforce, MuleSoft, and Marketing Cloud.

Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
