On December 9, 2025, Morgan Stanley maintained an Overweight rating on Salesforce and trimmed its price target to $398 from $405. The note framed the change as a recalibration after the company’s strong quarterly print, with estimates and valuation updated across the software coverage rather than any shift in thesis. The firm highlighted that the target move was modest and left its constructive stance intact. The update followed Salesforce’s Q3 FY26 results, where adjusted EPS of $3.25 beat the consensus estimate of $2.86. The key takeaway was continuity: stay Overweight, modestly refine the numbers, and keep the structural call in place.

Evercore ISI weighed in earlier on December 4, 2025, keeping an Outperform rating while lowering its target to $340 from $360. The analyst called fiscal Q3 “solid,” noting revenue in line and EPS ahead, and pointed to momentum in Agentforce, with more than $500 million in annual recurring revenue, as a practical driver into 2026. The tone was measured but constructive, balancing the lower target with specific product traction and execution markers rather than broad generalities. The thrust of the note was that the investment case remains intact, with a clearer line of sight to Agentforce adoption and earnings delivery, even as the team resets the target to reflect the latest run rate.

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) provides customer relationship management software and cloud-based applications spanning sales, service, marketing, commerce, and analytics for enterprises worldwide.
