Movement Alert｜Salesforce Falls 3.21% in Regular Trading, Software Sector Sells Off Amid Ongoing AI Disruption Concerns and Analyst Downgrades

Market Focus05-20 21:49

On May 20, Salesforce declined 3.21% in regular trading, trading at $176.995 per share, with trading volume of $213 million. The decline reverses gains from the prior two sessions as broader software sector weakness resurfaced.

On the news front, the pullback comes amid persistent concerns that AI will disrupt traditional software business models. Mizuho recently cut its target price on Salesforce from $265 to $250 while maintaining an outperform rating, following Citi's earlier reduction to $188 citing slowing deal activity and extended transaction cycles. Citi's field research indicated heightened competitive pressure and noted that while Salesforce's Agentforce AI product line is gaining traction in client conversations, large-scale adoption has yet to translate into meaningful revenue contribution.

Within the Application Software sector, the broader group traded lower, with Intuit down 3.36%, Adobe down 2.09%, and Palantir Technologies down 0.2%, while IREN Ltd rose 2.99% and Strategy gained 1.01%.
