Salesforce stock forecast expects volatility spikes around AI product launches this year, but long-term trajectory supported by recurring enterprise contracts and expanding global customer footprint. Snowflake sees Cortex AI giving financial services customers – such as Bloomberg, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan – an advantage. “The financial services industry is an adopter of leading edge technology that gives them an edge," Ramaswamy told me in a September 26 interview. Institutional investors hold most Salesforce shares. Vanguard Group (9.33%) and BlackRock (8.57%) are the two largest shareholders as of September 2025. Co-founder and CEO Marc Benioff remains the biggest individual holder, with around 3.36% ( WallStreetZen , 10 September 2025). Salesforce stock forecast considers macro factors such as interest rate cuts in late 2024, potentially boosting high-growth tech valuations. The CRM market’s recurring revenue model benefits from lower capital costs.
