09:48 ET -- Salesforce Inc. is one of the most talked about
companies in the U.S. across all news items in the last 12 hours,
according to Factiva data. The software company on Wednesday
trimmed its FY guidance and forecast a weaker-than-expected 3Q.
Salesforce projects FY revenue of between $30.9 billion to $31
billion, down from a prior target of $31.7 billion to $31.8
billion. It expects adjusted EPS of $4.71 to $4.73, versus $4.74 to
$4.76 previously. The company anticipates 3Q revenue of $7.82
billion to $7.83 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.20 to $1.21, where
analysts polled by FactSet had penciled in $8.07 billion and $1.28,
respectively. Still, Salesforce is aiming to buyback up to $10
billion in its shares. UBS says it likes the company's
shareholder-friendly moves but the magnitude of the deceleration in
2Q still gives it pause. A number of analysts cut their targets on
the stock, including UBS which moves to $180 from $190 and Truist
which moves to $240 from $330. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva.
