stock price for Salesforce stood at approximately two hundred and
seventy United States dollars per share, closing just a fraction
lower than the previous day. Trading volume was roughly four
million shares, which is notably below its average daily trading
volume of nearly six point seven million shares, suggesting somewhat

(00:21):
newted investor activity. At present, the stock trades within a
wide one year range from two hundred thirty to three
hundred sixty nine United States dollars. Salesforce remains a titan
in customer relationship management technology, and its recent financials underscore
stable growth. In fiscal year twenty twenty five, revenue reached

(00:42):
an all time high at around thirty eight billion United
States dollars, with net income climbing to over six billion
United States dollars, a near fifty percent jump from the
previous year. This performance translates to a relatively high, but
not extreme price to earnings ratio, providing the company with
a market capitalization of more than two hundred fifty seven

(01:02):
billion United States dollars. Recent news highlights include Salesforce's expansion
into artificial intelligence, with chief executive Officer Mark Benioff indicating
that artificial intelligence now handles up to half of the
platform's workload. Additionally, Salesforce completed the acquisition of Informatica, a
leading cloud data management firm, and a substantial deal valued

(01:26):

broader enterprise data solutions internationally. The company pledged a one
billion United States dollar investment in Singapore over five years
for artificial intelligence development, strengthening its global reach. From an
analyst perspective, sentiments skews positive but with nuance. The consensus

(01:49):

hundred fifty three United States dollars per share, with most
major firms rating the stock as a buy, but some
trimming targets in recent weeks. Analyst commentary focuses on robust
product innovation and expansion, but also notes a slowing pace
of overall growth. Salesforce's decision to pay dividends could attract

(02:12):
new classes of investors, complementing its growth narrative. Finally, Salesforce
insiders remain active, with Mark Benioff recently selling a small
portion of his holdings through a planned transaction, but his
overall ownership remains substantial. Looking ahead, all eyes will turn

artificial intelligence adoption and integration of recent acquisitions will be
