Salesforce faces AI review: quarterly figures on September 3rd!
On September 3, Salesforce will report its second quarter fiscal 2026 results. This event has already attracted a lot of attention in advance and promises to provide crucial information about the company's financial situation. Against the backdrop of billions of dollars in investments in artificial intelligence (AI), the question arises to what extent these expenses will influence sales and profits. Loud Boerse Express Analysts expect sales of around $10.14 billion, while earnings per share are expected to be around $2.78.
Salesforce itself has published a forecast that predicts revenue between $10.11 and $10.16 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $2.76 to $2.78. This would represent revenue growth of over 8% year-on-year, putting the company and its core businesses – Sales, Service and Data Cloud – in focus. It will be particularly exciting to observe the impact of AI services and the data cloud on revenue generation.
Battle for stock performance
Despite the general enthusiasm for AI in the tech sector, Salesforce has struggled with weak stock performance. However, management has raised its annual forecast for 2026 to growth of 8% to 9%. This adjustment could indicate that the company is optimistic about the future. It's worth noting that Salesforce has beaten earnings expectations in seven of the last eight quarters.
The results on September 3 could provide crucial clues about whether companies are willing to spend more on AI-enhanced CRM software. This information is particularly important in order to gain clarity about the current figures and forecasts for the coming quarters.
In summary, the second quarter results will not only provide an inventory of Salesforce's financial situation, but also outline the direction of the company's future in everyday business and in the AI world. Further details on the results are below Retail News to find.
