Salesforce - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

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.

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 Thursday, October 24, 2024. 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's consistent dividend payouts provide a steady income stream for investors, with a current dividend yield of 0.56%.
Analysts have given Salesforce a positive outlook, with a majority of them rating the stock as a buy or strong buy, indicating confidence in the company's future performance.
Institutional investors, such as Vanguard Group Inc. and Capital Research Global Investors, have been increasing their stakes in Salesforce, signaling strong confidence in the company's growth potential.
Recent insider activity, including significant share sales by directors, may indicate that insiders believe the stock is currently overvalued, potentially prompting a correction in the stock price.
Despite a slight decrease in stock price on the trading day, Salesforce's overall performance has been positive, with the stock trading at $288.10, showing resilience in the market.

Salesforce
Bear Case

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

The company's payout ratio of 28.78% indicates that a significant portion of its earnings is being distributed as dividends, potentially limiting funds available for reinvestment in growth initiatives.
While the majority of analysts have a positive outlook on Salesforce, there are still some hold ratings, suggesting a level of uncertainty or caution among a portion of analysts regarding the company's future performance.
Insider selling activity, with directors selling significant amounts of shares, may raise concerns about insider confidence in the company's long-term prospects.
Despite institutional investors increasing their stakes, the high percentage of institutional ownership at 80.43% may lead to increased volatility in the stock price due to large-scale buying or selling decisions by these entities.
Recent fluctuations in the stock price, including a decrease on the trading day, could indicate short-term market uncertainty or potential volatility in the near future.
