Bradley Sills has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Salesforce’s potential for growth and resilience in the current market environment. Despite some softening in the channel tone and a longer sales cycle, Salesforce’s core Sales Cloud remains stable, supported by the Revenue Cloud and a solid Data Cloud attach rate. The company’s Agentforce pilot deployments are gaining traction, particularly for internally facing applications, and there is healthy activity in the financial services and healthcare sectors, although manufacturing and retail are weaker.
Furthermore, Sills anticipates that Salesforce’s promising Agentforce product cycle and Data Cloud traction, which has seen significant growth, will contribute to incremental growth in the coming years. While the current spending environment may pose challenges, the potential expansion of Salesforce’s total addressable market and the expected steady margin expansion from platform scale support the Buy rating. Sills maintains a price objective of $350, reflecting confidence in Salesforce’s ability to achieve a durable low to mid-teens growth rate.
In another report released on May 12, Jefferies also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $375.00 price target.
