Salesforce Projects Revenue That Tops Analysts’ Estimates
(Bloomberg) -- Salesforce.com Inc. gave a revenue forecast that topped Wall Street’s estimates, signaling the maker of cloud-based applications will continue to see rapid growth due to an expanding product lineup and its latest acquisitions.Revenue will be as much as $4.45 billion in the period ending in October, the San Francisco-based company said Thursday in a statement. Analysts projected $4.18 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.Chief Executive Officers Marc Benioff and Keith Block have charted a new path for the market leader in software for managing customer relationships. This month, the company closed its biggest deal ever, buying Tableau Software Inc. for $15.3 billion and announced an agreement to acquire ClickSoftware Technologies Inc. for $1.35 billion. The Tableau purchase will take Salesforce into the analytics market and help it maintain a torrid pace of growth, even as the company turns 20 years old.Adjusted profit will be 65 cents a share to 66 cents a share in the current period, in line with analysts’ estimates. Salesforce also increased its annual revenue forecast to a range of $16.75 billion to $16.9 billion from $16.45 billion to $16.65 billion.“Their guidance for the year, which includes Tableau, came in above the Street’s expectations,” said Pat Walravens, an analyst at JMP Securities. “It’s looking pretty good.”Shares rose about 7% in extended trading after closing Thursday at $148.24 in New York. The stock has climbed 8.2% this year.Tableau will continue to be operated as a separate brand within Salesforce. When the company announced the acquisition, Benioff said that Seattle, where Tableau is based, will become the site of Salesforce’s second headquarters.In addition to deal-making, the software maker has expanded internationally in an effort to grow sales by more than 20% each quarter. Salesforce announced in July that it would partner with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. to offer its cloud-based applications in China, even amid a trade war between that country and the U.S. Revenue from the Asia Pacific region increased 26% in the fiscal second quarter, the company said.Sales in the fiscal second quarter increased 22% to $4 billion. Analysts, on average, estimated $3.95 billion. Profit, excluding some items, was 66 cents a share, compared with analysts’ average projection of 47 cents.Daniel Elman, an analyst at Nucleus Research, said investors lowered their expectations leading into the quarter amid a general slowdown in the technology sector and concern that Tableau wouldn’t fold into the company smoothly.“One of the things they harp on about at their conferences is that they are able to keep growing at this pace,” Elman said. “They showed they are still able to perform and meet the benchmarks they set.”Revenue from Sales Cloud, the company’s flagship product, grew 13% to $1.1 billion in the quarter. The company leads the market for sales-tracking software.Service Cloud sales increased 22% to $1.1 billion. The software maker has relied more on this product for growth, taking advantage of businesses’ need for new tools to communicate with the customers.Net income was $91 million, or 11 cents a share, compared with $299 million, or 39 cents a share, a year earlier.(Updates with comments from analyst in the ninth paragraph)\--With assistance from Cecilia Esquivel.To contact the reporters on this story: Nico Grant in San Francisco at ngrant20@bloomberg.net;Olivia Carville in New York at ocarville1@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Jillian Ward at jward56@bloomberg.net, Andrew Pollack, Alistair BarrFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Salesforce.com Sees Surge in Bullish Bets With Earnings on Deck
(Bloomberg) -- Salesforce.com options are showing a decidedly bullish tilt ahead of its second-quarter earnings report, signaling that investors are betting the business software maker’s results will be better received than those of European counterpart SAP SE last month.There are more than twice as many calls than puts among contracts set to expire Friday in the wake of this afternoon’s release, and options prices imply a 6% earnings-day price move. That’s almost double the 3.1% average of the past eight reports, when rallies outpaced declines five-to-three. The stock has gained 8% this year, compared with a 31% rally in the the S&P 500 Software Index.It’s probably going to be a “noisy” earnings report, given Salesforce.com’s recent acquisition of Tableau Software Inc., according to SunTrust Robison Humphrey analyst Terry Tillman. He said the acquisition closed about two months sooner than targeted and he would expect stability and modest upside for the second-quarter with more catalysts ahead.San Franciso-based Salesforce.com has low exposure to China and is unlikely to reiterate the same concerns around the U.S.- China trade dispute that SAP has, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Anurag Rana and Gili Naftalovich said in an Aug. 14 research note. Margins are likely to expand as sales growth exceeds the rate of investment in new products and geographies, but the acquisition of Salesforce.org and currency headwinds may weigh on the rate of expansion, they said.SAP, which traded at a record high on July 3, has since fallen 14%, with the decline accelerating after it reported a second-quarter slowdown in new cloud bookings and disappointing margins. Analysts also underscored weak growth in software license revenue, hit by uncertainty in Asia.About 17% of total open interest in Salesforce.com is set to expire on Friday, and implied volatility is elevated at 117% versus a three-month average of 30%.To contact the reporter on this story: Gregory Calderone in New York at gcalderone7@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Catherine Larkin at clarkin4@bloomberg.net, Richard Richtmyer, Brendan WalshFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Don’t Bet on a Second Act for Salesforce Stock
Back in October of last year, I wrote about worrying signs regarding certain growth stocks. And I had put cloud services company Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) on that list. At the time, I wrote that in the longer-term picture, CRM stock benefited from multiple tailwinds. These included increasing trends toward the cloud and digitalization overall.Source: Bjorn Bakstad / Shutterstock.com However, I was calling things as I saw them, not how I wanted them to be. Therefore, I noted that Salesforce stock produced an incredibly ugly chart. Essentially, the price action was sandwiched between the 50-day moving average at the top, and the 200-day moving average below. Under normal circumstances, this is a strong technical signal to get out.Adding to that point, this was when the U.S.-China trade war started to gain traction. So with geopolitical uncertainty and an ugly price chart for CRM stock, the choice was obvious. And while the resultant moves were incredibly choppy due to the "will they, won't they" trade war drama, Salesforce stock dipped in both November and December.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsSure enough, we're back at it again.I supposed you would call the current juncture "trade war 2.0." Whatever it is, it's nasty. With neither side wanting to give an inch, we've only seen an escalation in rhetoric and actions. Of course, the Dow Jones Industrial Average incurred a significant drop, while CRM stock took a scary spill weeks earlier.Over the past few sessions, Salesforce stock has crept upward. But like late last year, CRM is in an ugly position, this time below both the 50- and 200-day moving averages. How then should investors respond? Fundamental Risks Cloud CRM StockNaturally, a contrarian viewpoint exists here. When I wrote about my concerns for Salesforce stock last year, I suggested that investors shouldn't stay negative for too long due to the positive fundamentals. As you know from hindsight, CRM did indeed come back strong. * 10 Marijuana Stocks to Ride High on the Farm Bill Therefore, some might assume that CRM stock will pull off a repeat performance. Even though we see some trading activity that suggests shares will decisively fly higher, I have my reservations.At this stage, I'm now concerned about the fundamentals. First, Salesforce has been making aggressive moves lately in terms of acquisitions and partnerships. One of those is a joining of forces with Chinese internet and e-commerce giant Alibaba (NYSE:BABA).I'm going to set aside the fact that this relationship is occurring at a politically awkward time. Instead, let me focus on why they secured a partnership: Alibaba lacks small- and medium-sized business coverage, while Salesforce wants to expand into China and the broader Asian market.On paper, this partnership should boost CRM stock. Instead, the announcement was made right before shares tumbled badly. And I'm not sure if we'll see a recovery like we did earlier this year.This brings me to my second point. The trade war has terrible implications for Salesforce stock. Obviously, management's ambitions for China must now be kept in check. Admittedly, though, the Asian market only represents 10% of Salesforce's total revenue.But the trade war isn't just about China. If you look at what's going on in Germany, they're about to fall into a recession. As the European Union's powerhouse member, that will have a negative ripple effect on CRM stock. The company gets 20% of its top-line sales from Europe. Risks Also Abound at HomeTaking a sizable hit to 30% of your total revenue stream doesn't do you any favors. However, CRM stock is very much an American investment in that it generates the most revenue on this hemisphere. Thus, the remaining 70% should help buffer the storm, right?I'll concede that this is a valid counterargument. However, the worry is that Salesforce is stretching itself too thin with its acquisitiveness. But the biggest concern is how small- and medium-sized businesses here at home can ride a possible recession.To no one's surprise, small businesses suffer bankruptcies at a higher rate than larger firms during economic downturns. I'm not tying to belabor you with the obvious. Instead, I want to emphasize that Salesforce has a significant revenue channel with the small business community.If that goes, then we're talking about three revenue channel disruptions: China, Europe and American small businesses. I don't think anyone doubts that Salesforce stock can overcome modest challenges. But the current environment suggests something much bigger, which means you should probably head for the sidelines.As of this writing, Josh Enomoto did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
