Salesforce management pushes massive share buyback amid SaaS selloff
Salesforce management pushes massive share buyback amid SaaS selloff
Salesforce authorized a $50B share buyback program at the start of the year. In early March, they issued $25B in debt to speed up the process and have already executed about 80% of that amount.
Management expects revenue growth to reaccelerate by the second half of 2027, driven largely by their new AI tools. Sales for their AI platform Agentforce increased 169% YoY to $800M, bringing total annual recurring revenue for AI to $2.9B.
They also updated their 2030 guidance, projecting $63B in revenue with adjusted operating margins hitting 40%. The stock currently trades at 14x earnings expectations, which seems to be why management is rushing to buy back shares.
