Salesforce, Inc.'s AI innovation, highlighted by the NYSE: CRM stock, is not meeting expectations, particularly in light of its projected performance in 2025 and recent outlook. The stock is currently experiencing a decline, with a noticeable 28% drop this year. This underperformance contrasts with competitors like SAP, Microsoft, and Oracle, all of whom have seen strong gains in 2025. The decrease in Salesforce's stock value reflects waning investor confidence in the company's growth story and its capacity to capitalize on AI technology. Salesforce's Q2 results showed a mixed picture, with revenue reaching $10.24 billion, a 10% increase year-over-year, slightly surpassing analyst forecasts. Additionally, adjusted earnings per share stood at $2.91, outperforming estimates by 4.7%. More details are available on Benzinga.com's complete article.
