This disappointed investors who were expecting a more robust performance from the cloud-based software giant. Particularly concerning was Salesforce&#8217;s decision to cut its subscription-revenue outlook, raising anxieties about slowing customer growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocktargetadvisor.com\/stock\/USA\/NYE\/CRM\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49981\" src=\"http:\/\/stocktargetadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sta-stock-chart-widget-2-2.png\" alt=\"CRM- Widget\" width=\"717\" height=\"902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stocktargetadvisor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sta-stock-chart-widget-2-2.png 717w, https:\/\/www.stocktargetadvisor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sta-stock-chart-widget-2-2-238x300.png 238w, https:\/\/www.stocktargetadvisor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sta-stock-chart-widget-2-2-119x150.png 119w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Stock Target Advisor&#8217;s Analysis on Salesforce:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stock Target Advisor\u2019s gives a buy rating to Salesforce.
