Salesforce Shares Soar on Strong Earnings, Raised Forecast
Salesforce's shares surged by 11% in premarket trading on August 27, 2026, reaching $228.63.
This increase was driven by better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter earnings and a raised full-year forecast for the company.
The revenue guidance for fiscal 2027 increased by $200 million, with Salesforce processing 3.2 billion agentic work units in the quarter and Agentforce ARR surpassing $1.5 billion.
The company's cash generation improved, but margin trends were uneven, with free cash flow increasing by 81% to $1.10 billion and GAAP operating margin declining by 230 basis points to 20.5%.
