Metric	Value
Q2 Revenue Guidance	$11.3 billion
Analyst Estimates	$11.5 billion

Highlights from the Announcement

Salesforce attributed the lower-than-expected guidance to two main factors: uncertainty around the impact of disruptive AI on enterprise spending, and the early stage of Agentforce growth, which has not yet significantly contributed to revenue.

Future Guidance

Salesforce expects Q2 revenue (ending July 2026) in the range of $11.25 to $11.35 billion, compared to the $11.5 billion analyst estimate. The company also indicated that operating margins may be pressured by increased AI investments.

Impact on the Stock

CRM stock fell over 5% in after-hours trading following the guidance release. The decline comes after a strong year for the stock, which had gained about 20% year-to-date.

What This Means for Investors

The disappointing guidance suggests Salesforce faces increasing competitive pressure from emerging AI solutions, as well as challenges in achieving expected growth from its Agentforce platform. However, the company retains a strong position in the CRM market, and continued AI investments could improve long-term performance.
