On July 9, Salesforce fell 3.77% in pre-market trading, trading at $159.02/share, with turnover of $6.63 million. The stock continued to decline as the market digested the implications of a major defense contract announced the previous day.

On July 8, the U.S. Air Force 441st Vehicle Support Chain Operations Squadron (VSCOS) selected Salesforce's national security division, Missionforce, to support a $13.5 billion military vehicle fleet modernization project. The platform will integrate logistics management processes for approximately 100,000 military vehicles globally, aiming to reduce vehicle downtime and improve combat readiness. While the contract represents a significant expansion into government defense work, market participants appear concerned about potential pressure on profit margins and elevated implementation costs associated with such a large-scale military deployment.

Notably, Salesforce had already declined 1.96% in pre-market trading on July 8 following the announcement, suggesting the current decline reflects continued investor reassessment of the contract's near-term financial impact despite its long-term strategic value.
