Sustained selling pressure as growth and buybacks fail to boost sentiment

Salesforce reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 financial results, with revenue rising 12% year over year to $11.2 billion and adjusted earnings per share increasing by 37%. The company authorized a $50 billion share buyback program to replace its previous authorizations and increased its quarterly dividend by 5.8% to $0.44 per share. Salesforce forecast fiscal 2027 revenue between $45.8 billion and $46.2 billion and adjusted EPS of $13.11 to $13.19, accompanied by continued growth in segments like Agentforce and Data 360, as well as a new 10-year, $5.6 billion U.S. Army contract, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights that Salesforce remains under heavy technical pressure. He notes the consistent failure to reclaim the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, as well as sustained bearish momentum on multiple indicators. Kharitonov is wary of the recent revenue growth and share buyback, suggesting these positives are lost amid broad selling. He believes downside risks dominate, especially if $190.00 fails. "Traders should be cautious — CRM’s technical structure remains weak despite headline results," he warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees strong long-term opportunity in Salesforce’s accelerating fundamentals. He points to double-digit revenue growth, expanding EPS, and the massive $50 billion buyback as signals of robust business momentum. The analyst is particularly encouraged by the new U.S. Army contract and expanding product lines, calling these drivers for future outperformance. Karapetjanc views near-term volatility as presenting attractive setups for patient investors. "Fundamental growth is intact — I expect Salesforce to regain bullish structure and deliver further upside," he says.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, recognizes conflicting signals in Salesforce’s price action. He observes that while technicals show bearish momentum, intraday recovery and oscillators hint at indecision. The broad price gap and resilient mid-session performance suggest tactical bounce potential within a defined channel. "A contrarian trade may emerge if CRM holds $190.00 — watch for a short-term reversal toward resistance," Mehta suggests.

Bearish bias persists as mixed indicators signal uncertain momentum

Momentum remains bearish overall for CRM, as the daily and weekly MACD and ADX both signal ongoing selling strength. The daily RSI at 47.56 is neutral to slightly bearish, while the Stoch RSI and BBP show mixed signals: daily readings suggest overbought, but shorter timeframes are pointing toward oversold conditions. Sellers dominated the session early after a gap down at the open ($199.31 to $190.26), but prices recovered near session highs by midday. Intraday volatility has been moderate, and diverging momentum and oscillators indicate a lack of clear consensus, leaving the short-term technical setup uncertain.

Last time, analysts noted that Salesforce was trading just below its 20-day moving average and well under its 50- and 200-day averages, reflecting sustained downside momentum amid persistent selling pressure. Technical indicators, including negative MACD and dominant ADX, point to continued bearish sentiment, with immediate support near $190 and key resistance at $205, confining the price within a sideways-to-lower trading range for the near term.
