Description:
Salesforce shares fell 18% after the company reported fiscal first-quarter revenue that missed estimates for the first time since 2006 and provided lighter-than-expected guidance. Revenue for the quarter increased 11% but still came in below analysts' estimates. Guidance also came in below estimates. Analysts said broader macroeconomic challenges impacted Salesforce's performance during the quarter more than expected. Execution issues and changes to their go-to-market strategy also played a role. Analysts remain optimistic about Salesforce's long-term prospects, especially around their investments in generative AI and how it could drive future growth.
