Salesforce Shares Surge 25%. What Happened?
Rightly regarded as the “King of Cloud”, Salesforce.com Inc (NASDAQ: CRM) blew past earnings estimates with shares surging to finish the day up 26% – an all-time high.
More importantly the company raised its full-year guidance amid the pandemic, targeting US$20.8 billion in revenue for the full fiscal year.
As the poster child for the “cloud subscription” business model, I’m a huge fan of what Marc Benioff has pulled off at Salesforce.
Now the leading, dominant company in the CRM space worldwide, Salesforce’s suite of products have become a “must-have” for many sales and marketing teams.
I always like to buy the long-term winners in each market segment and Salesforce is without a doubt the leader in its space.
