Salesforce stock was down Friday after a report said that talks for a potential acquisition of Informatica were back on after falling apart in 2024. Informatica stock soared on the news.
Bloomberg reported Friday afternoon that enterprise software company Salesforce was in talks to acquire data management platform Informatica, citing people familiar with the matter. An official announcement of a deal could possibly come next week if an agreement is reached.
Barron's asked Salesforce and Informatica for comment.
Shares of Salesforce were down 3.9% at $272.15 in late Friday trading after the report. Informatica shares surged 19% to $22.92.
The Wall Street Journal reported last April that talks between Salesforce and Informatica for a potential acquisition fizzled out after the companies didn't agree on terms.
Salesforce is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings after the stock market closes on Wednesday, May 28.
