The firm conducted discussions with nearly a dozen key partners which have revealed that second-quarter deal activity has been merely in line with expectations. The firm has discussed the reasons for the lacking upside.

“Recent discussions with nearly a dozen key Partners suggest that deal activity leaned more “in line” with expectations during Q2. Partners noted that lacking upside was driven by customers pausing digital transformation projects to evaluate with Agentforce, versus a deterioration in the fundamentals. As such, we expect 2Q revenue/cRPO to be largely in line with our estimates for $10.1bn (+7.4% y/y cc)/$19.2bn (+9.0% cc). We expect FX to be a 1% tailwind to reported growth, consistent with guidance.”
