AI expansion and acquisitions fuel revenue guidance hike and buybacks

Salesforce reported annual revenue of $41.52 billion and strengthened its AI capabilities through the acquisitions of Listen Labs and Fin. The company raised its fiscal 2027 revenue guidance after second-quarter results, attributing growth to its Agentforce AI offerings and recent acquisitions. New initiatives included the launch of the Koa AI reasoning model with Nvidia and the start of a $25 billion accelerated share repurchase program.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Salesforce’s current bounce as fragile. He notes that shares linger below the 20-day moving average and face stiff resistance at $233.73 and $235.19. Positive momentum from acquisitions and product launches is offset by weak short-term technicals. The oversold readings support the risk of further selling, especially with the RSI and BBP pointing lower. "Despite headline growth, I remain cautious — short-term pressures and technical barriers limit upside for now."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, emphasizes the robust outlook for Salesforce. He highlights the raised 2027 revenue target and accelerated share buyback as strong signals of confidence. Recent strategic acquisitions and partnerships boost long-term value. With the bullish structure above key moving averages, further growth is expected once technical consolidation resolves. "Salesforce maintains clear leadership in AI and offers attractive setups for medium- and long-term investors."

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, questions the sustainability of the latest rebound in Salesforce. He points out that sentiment has shifted, with negative intraday momentum and rising volatility. Macro risks and technical resistance could stall further gains. "I see risk of disappointment if buying interest fades — the path higher faces mounting obstacles."

Short-term weakness persists as mixed momentum tempers bullish structure

Salesforce is currently trading below its 20-day moving average at $245.09, but remains above both the 50-day ($215.83) and 200-day ($200.88) moving averages. This setup signals short-term selling pressure, yet a broadly supportive medium- and long-term trend, with a bullish long-term alignment still intact. Immediate resistance is at $233.73 and support at $228.91, with the Ichimoku Kijun at $235.19 presenting additional resistance above current prices. Momentum indicators are mixed: the MACD shows strong buy momentum, but the ADX and RSI signal weakness, with the RSI at 44.05 confirming a sell signal. Stochastic RSI and CCI highlight oversold conditions, while Bull/Bear Power (BBP) at -7.54 confirms sellers dominate intraday, and the price is near today's low. Intraday volatility stands at 2.11%.

Earlier, analysts noted that Salesforce shares were consolidating within a defined range as technical signals showed mixed momentum and the company deepened its AI strategy with targeted acquisitions. The current analysis adds further evidence of this sideways trend, with traders advised to monitor the $233.73 resistance and $228.91 support as key pivot levels for potential breakout or breakdown scenarios in the coming sessions.
