Salesforce Stock Slumps Amid AI Concerns and Service Outage
Salesforce stock has been under pressure in mid-September, trading around $238 on the New York Stock Exchange as of September 18, 2026.
The shares fell about 2.2 percent in that session and are now below consensus analyst targets.
According to MarketBeat price data, Salesforce carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating with an average price target of $275.14 per share, implying upside of roughly 15 percent compared with the latest trades around $238.
The recent weakness in Salesforce stock does not reflect a lack of top-line ambition, as the company has outlined a revenue target of around $63 billion for the coming years, supported by its push into artificial intelligence capabilities and new products.
However, concern about how quickly Salesforce can translate its homegrown AI models into measurable financial results is clouding sentiment.
