Citi raises price target for Salesforce amid margin optimism
Investing.com - Citi analysts increased their price target from $210 to $229 on Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM) and maintained a neutral rating despite mixed performance during the quarter.
While there is limited upside to top-line numbers for the fiscal year due to macroeconomic uncertainty and 'Salesforce fatigue', the analysts see greater potential on the margin front.
Citi's checks with Salesforce partners revealed a resilient federal deal pipeline and strength in its Marketing Cloud service, offset by challenges such as slow decision-making, renewal pressure, and customer optimization efforts.
While full-year revenue guidance raises are expected to be limited, Citi analysts have increased their margin estimates due to stronger expected cost savings from recent workforce reductions.
