Analyst Estimates: Here's What Brokers Think Of Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) After Its First-Quarter Report

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) shareholders are probably feeling a little disappointed, since its shares fell 2.8% to US$265 in the week after its latest quarterly results. The result was positive overall - although revenues of US$9.8b were in line with what the analysts predicted, Salesforce surprised by delivering a statutory profit of US$1.59 per share, modestly greater than expected. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Salesforce's 50 analysts is for revenues of US$41.2b in 2026. This reflects a satisfactory 6.8% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to grow 11% to US$7.22. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$40.8b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$7.12 in 2026. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results. See our latest analysis for Salesforce There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of US$356, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. There are some variant perceptions on Salesforce, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at US$442 and the most bearish at US$225 per share. Note the wide gap in analyst price targets? This implies to us that there is a fairly broad range of possible scenarios for the underlying business. Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Salesforce's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 9.1% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 14% over the past five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 13% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Salesforce is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants. The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Salesforce's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates. Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider.
