Is Salesforce (CRM) Stock a Worth 'Buy' Before Q2 Earnings Release
Sep 2- Q2 results will test whether Salesforce's AI momentum translates into faster revenue and profit growth. San Francisco company Salesforce 
CRM reports after the market closes on Wednesday, with analysts forecasting revenue of $10.14 billion and EPS of $2.78, each up more than 8% year over year.
Shares sit about 24% below their year-start level. Many Wall Street analysts maintain "Buy" ratings. One argues fundamentals support the premium multiple: expanding EBIT margins, solid free cash flow and double-digit cRPO growth. He points to AI platforms such as Agentforce and Data Cloud as drivers that could lift recurring revenue and margins.
Salesforce beats EPS in seven of the past eight quarters and misses revenue twice, giving the company a mostly reliable execution record. Investors will watch guidance and subscription trends closely for signs that AI adoption accelerates customer spending.
Risks include a softer enterprise IT backdrop, tougher macro conditions or slower uptake of new AI tools, any of which could pressure near-term results. Overall, the quarter should clarify whether Salesforce can convert AI momentum into durable, scalable growth, and investors will read guidance for the clearest signals.
