Salesforce Shares Plummet 2.01% as $1.97 Billion Volume Ranks 41st

Salesforce (CRM) closed on Sept. 25, 2025, with a 2.01% decline, marking its weakest daily performance in recent weeks. The stock’s $1.97 billion trading volume ranked it 41st among U.S. equities, reflecting moderate investor activity despite the downward move. The selloff occurred amid broader market volatility, though no immediate catalysts tied to the company’s operations or financials were reported.

To ensure the back-test aligns with your strategy, clarification on key parameters is required. The market universe should specify whether to include U.S. common stocks listed on NYSE, NASDAQ, or AMEX, and whether to exclude ADRs, ETFs, or preferred shares. For the “Top 500 by daily trading volume” criterion, define if ranking is based on share volume or notional dollar volume, and whether to use same-day or prior-day volume data for portfolio formation. Entry and exit timing for the one-day holding period must clarify whether trades occur at open-to-close or close-to-close. Transaction assumptions, including cost structures and weighting methods (equal vs. value-weighted), also need confirmation before execution.
