MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Salesforce Stock? CRM Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Please send any questions or comments about these Salesforce pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Salesforce
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Salesforce, Inc.:

Salesforce, Inc. recently reported a significant earnings beat for the quarter ended August 26, 2026, delivering $5.90 in earnings per share compared to the analyst consensus of $3.27, which demonstrates strong operational execution and profitability that can drive shareholder value.
The company has authorized a massive $50 billion share repurchase program, executing half of it within weeks of the February 2026 authorization, which signals management confidence in the company's cash flow and provides a direct mechanism to support the stock price and increase earnings per share for remaining holders.
With the current stock price at $224.54, the valuation appears attractive relative to the company's growth, as the price-to-earnings ratio stands at 20.47, which is lower than the average price target of $275.14 set by sell-side analysts who maintain a Moderate Buy consensus rating.
Recent data indicates that 85% of Salesforce, Inc. customers have tried Agentforce, the company's AI platform, suggesting strong adoption of its artificial intelligence capabilities which could drive future revenue growth and differentiate the company in the enterprise software market.
Institutional investors are showing renewed interest, with Canandaigua National Trust Co of Florida purchasing a new position of 5,565 shares and Kennon Green & Company LLC buying 24,147 shares in the third quarter, indicating that professional money managers are accumulating the stock despite recent volatility.

Salesforce
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Salesforce, Inc. for these reasons:

The stock has underperformed the broader market in 2026, falling approximately 15% year-to-date, which suggests that investors are currently discounting the company's growth prospects or facing headwinds that have not yet been fully resolved.
Short interest in Salesforce, Inc. has increased significantly, with shares shorted rising to 32,348,247 as of September 15, 2026, up from 29,211,825 in August, indicating that a growing number of traders are betting against the stock's future performance.
Some analysts have downgraded their outlook, such as Phillip Securities cutting its rating from Buy to Hold and lowering its price target to $166.00 in June 2026, reflecting concerns about the company's ability to sustain its growth trajectory or valuation levels.
The company's debt-to-equity ratio stands at 1.02, which is relatively high for a software company, and while the company is buying back stock, this leverage could limit financial flexibility if economic conditions deteriorate or interest rates remain elevated.
Despite strong earnings, the stock has experienced significant volatility, including a 24.43% gap up on August 27, 2026, followed by a series of percent declines in September and October, which may deter risk-averse investors who prefer more stable price action.
