Salesforce - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

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 Thursday, December 12, 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, Inc. has shown strong revenue growth, reporting $9.44 billion for the latest quarter, exceeding analyst expectations of $9.35 billion. This indicates robust demand for its services.
The stock price recently increased to $354.85, reflecting a 1.7% rise, which may suggest positive market sentiment and potential for further appreciation.
Salesforce, Inc. maintains a healthy market capitalization of approximately $339.59 billion, indicating its strong position in the market and ability to invest in growth opportunities.
The company has a solid return on equity of 12.34%, which measures how effectively it uses equity investments to generate profits, making it an attractive option for investors seeking efficient management.
Institutional investors own 80.43% of Salesforce, Inc.'s stock, which often indicates confidence in the company's future performance and stability.

Salesforce
Bear Case

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

Salesforce, Inc. reported earnings per share (EPS) of $2.41, which missed analysts' consensus estimate of $2.44 by $0.03. This shortfall may raise concerns about the company's ability to meet future earnings expectations.
The company's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 59.09, which is relatively high and may suggest that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially limiting upside for new investors.
Despite recent revenue growth, the net margin of 15.96% indicates that a significant portion of revenue is consumed by expenses, which could affect profitability in the long run.
Salesforce, Inc. has a beta of 1.30, suggesting that its stock price is more volatile than the market. This could lead to higher risk for investors, especially in uncertain market conditions.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.14, which is low, but any increase in debt levels could impact financial stability and investor confidence.
