On June 9, Salesforce declined 3.1% in regular trading, trading at $177.0/share with trading volume of $606 million.

On the news front, persistent concerns over AI disruption in the traditional software industry continued to pressure the stock. Tech giants including Anthropic, Microsoft, and OpenAI are accelerating their push into the enterprise AI market, posing competitive threats to established enterprise software companies like Salesforce. The broader application software sector weakened in tandem.

Additionally, Salesforce's previously issued Q2 revenue guidance of $11.27 billion to $11.35 billion fell short of the market consensus of $11.4 billion. The soft outlook had prompted multiple Wall Street institutions to cut their target prices, with Barclays lowering to $236, Canaccord Genuity and Baird both reducing to $225, BMO trimming to $215, and Bernstein cutting to $173 while maintaining an underperform rating. These downgrades have continued to suppress market sentiment.

Meanwhile, Salesforce announced the acquisition of usage-based billing platform m3ter to bolster its Agentforce revenue management system, signaling a strategic shift toward flexible AI-driven pricing models. However, the move has yet to offset broader investor concerns regarding intensifying AI competition.
