Key highlights

  • Company snapshot: Founded as a SaaS-native firm, Salesforce’s portfolio spans Sales, Service, Marketing, Commerce, Slack, Mulesoft, Tableau, and Informatica.
  • Financials & footprint: FY25 revenue ~$37.9bn; guidance ~ $41.5bn for FY26. The US accounts for ~62% of global revenues and ~93% of Americas revenues.
  • Strategic focus: Heavy investment in Agentforce/Data 360 (AI/agentic capabilities) to revive US growth and expand SMB reach.
  • Portfolio dynamics: Core Sales and Service Clouds are strong; Commerce and some Marketing offerings underperform. Informatica’s shift to subscriptions may dampen near-term growth.
