Salesforce recently announced its financial results for the third quarter, pleasantly surprising both analysts and investors. The company increased its earnings per share to $3.25, well above analysts’ expectations of $2.86. Sales rose from $9.44 billion to $10.3 billion compared to the same period last year.
A key driver for this success is the increased demand for products in the field of artificial intelligence. Salesforce has taken an important step towards automation with its AI agents, which can take on complex customer support tasks. This development is further strengthened by the recently completed acquisition of the data management company Informatica.
Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, expressed optimism about the company’s future development. For the 2025/26 financial year, he expects sales growth of nine to ten percent, which corresponds to total sales of up to 41.55 billion US dollars. This forecast exceeds previous expectations and shows the company’s confidence in its strategic direction.
The stock market reacted positively to the published figures and the optimistic outlook. Salesforce shares temporarily rose by 1.29 percent on the New York Stock Exchange. This is an encouraging sign after the share price had already lost almost 29 percent of its value in the year to date. Analysts such as Brent Thill from Jefferies see the development of Salesforce as a “power awakening”, particularly due to the increasing importance of the AI platform Agentforce.
In the long term, Salesforce plans to return to double-digit growth rates with the support of artificial intelligence. Sales of more than $60 billion are targeted for the 2029/30 financial year. These ambitious goals underline the strategic importance of AI for the company and its ambition to establish itself as a leading provider in the field of enterprise software.
