On July 29, Salesforce.com rose 3.1% in regular trading, trading at $187.16/share, with turnover of $1.076 billion.

On the news front, the U.S. semiconductor sector experienced heavy selling pressure, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropping over 4%, triggering a notable rotation of capital into previously beaten-down SaaS software names. Morgan Stanley's bullish stance on software stocks further bolstered market sentiment toward the sector.

On the fundamental side, Salesforce.com recently secured a major procurement contract from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs valued at up to $1.6 billion, aimed at modernizing the veteran healthcare system. This follows the company's earlier announcement in July of a $13.5 billion defense order related to a U.S. Air Force fleet modernization project, underscoring its growing traction in the federal government vertical.
