At $249.12, Salesforce ( NYSE:CRM ) screens attractively. The stock looks fully priced on trailing numbers, yet the AI monetization curve underneath it is bending sharply upward, and the setup into Dreamforce and the September 16, 2026 Investor Day gives bulls a near-term catalyst the market has not fully absorbed.
Salesforce is the world's largest customer relationship management software company, and it has spent the past year retooling itself around agentic AI. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $41.53 billion, and management is guiding fiscal 2027 to $46.10 billion to $46.40 billion, with a stated $63 billion FY30 target. The stock, however, has lagged. Shares are down 5.47% year to date even after a 29.25% one-month surge tied to the Q2 report.
Why the Agentforce Ramp Changes the Math
The bull argument starts with AI traction that is no longer theoretical. Agentforce ARR crossed $1.5 billion, up over 240% year over year, and combined Agentforce plus Data 360 ARR reached roughly $3.9 billion, up more than 210%. Q2 delivered revenue of $11.35 billion, up 10.83%, and a sixth straight EPS beat.

Valuation looks reasonable against that growth. Shares trade at roughly 27x trailing earnings with a 7.02% free cash flow yield. The $25 billion accelerated buyback took diluted shares to 821 million from 962 million, and cRPO grew 14% to $33.5 billion, a leading indicator that the second-half reacceleration is real.
