Buy Rating Affirmed for Salesforce Amidst Potential Informatica Acquisition and AI Growth Opportunities

Jefferies analyst Brent Thill maintained a Buy rating on Salesforce (CRM – Research Report) today and set a price target of $350.00.

Brent Thill has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Salesforce’s strong position in the market and its potential growth avenues. One of the primary reasons for this positive outlook is Salesforce’s potential acquisition of Informatica (INFA), which is expected to complement and enhance Salesforce’s data management capabilities. This strategic move is seen as a way to bolster Salesforce’s Data Cloud offerings, thereby strengthening its competitive edge in the CRM and broader software market.

Furthermore, Brent Thill’s optimism is also fueled by Salesforce’s burgeoning opportunities within the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Insights gathered from the recent Jefferies AI Conference, which featured many leading AI industry experts, suggest that Salesforce is well-positioned to capitalize on AI advancements to further innovate and improve its customer relationship management services. This positions Salesforce as a forward-thinking leader in the technology space, with AI integration being a key driver for future growth and success, thus justifying the Buy rating.

In another report released on April 16, BMO Capital also assigned a Buy rating to the stock with a $335.00 price target.

Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 421 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of CRM in relation to earlier this year.
