Is salesforce.com, inc. (CRM) Still a Buy?

Yet Salesforce has already committed to the value of social networking to its future performance. Last month, it unified its marketing cloud services under the social.com domain, which it paid $2.6 million for two years ago. By offering clients an easy interface to build and maintain ad campaigns for Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and Twitter, salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE:CRM) hopes to tap into more of the stratospheric growth in social advertising. Meanwhile, Salesforce has also embraced the mobile side of the business, with its new mobile-app development platform offering a chance for Salesforce clients to connect better with their own customers through their smartphones and tablets.

In Salesforce’s quarterly report, look to see whether the company can once again deliver surprisingly strong growth. Time after time, the company has defied short-sellers by maintaining its growth pace, and despite reasons to be cautious, betting against Salesforce in the past has been a losing proposition.
