Salesforce Stock Gained Almost 2% In One Week, What To Expect?

Salesforce stock (NYSE: CRM) has gained 1.7% in the last week, outperforming the S&P 500 (up 0.2%). Further, the same trend was observed over one month (7.8% vs 5.7%). The recent volatility in software stocks is due to lower demand for services as compared to the pandemic time and expected interest rate hikes by the Fed. (Note – CRM has changed its legal name  from “Salesforce.com” to “Salesforce,” effective 4th April 2022.)

The company is a market leader in customer relationship management (CRM) technology. It has benefited from higher IT spending by companies across sectors, especially in digital transformation projects, and inorganic growth derived from acquisitions. Further, the firm posted better than expected results in the fourth quarter of FY2022 (FY Feb –Jan). It also increased the revenue forecast for Q1 and full-year FY2023.
