AI Monetization Gathers Momentum: Salesforce and Marvell Surpass Estimates
In a clear sign of AI's growing impact on corporate earnings, both Salesforce and Marvell Technology reported impressive results that exceeded expectations, driven by the increasing demand for artificial intelligence solutions.
Salesforce Surges on AI Strategy
Salesforce's third-quarter earnings showed impressive growth, with both sales and adjusted operating margin beating analyst estimates. Shares jumped nearly 13% in premarket trading. The company's success is largely attributed to its AI strategy, particularly the launch of its AI tool, Agentforce. Designed to automate tasks such as customer support and sales development, Agentforce has already secured numerous deals. CEO Marc Benioff, expressing confidence in the tool's potential, revealed plans to hire 1,000 new employees to focus on selling Agentforce.
Benioff described the quarter's results as fantastic but emphasized that the real excitement lies in the technology's future growth.
Marvell Technology Rides AI Wave
Shares of Marvell Technology soared more than 10% after the company reported better-than-expected results for Q3 and issued a positive earnings forecast. The chipmaker attributed its strong performance to the rising demand for artificial intelligence computing.
CEO Matt Murphy highlighted the company's custom AI silicon programs, which are now in full production and driving growth. Marvell, which provides AI accelerators and other essential components for cloud-computing services, stands to benefit significantly from the growing AI boom, despite not yet reaching the sales highs of competitors like Nvidia.
Conclusion
Both Salesforce and Marvell have demonstrated the transformative power of AI in driving business growth. Salesforce's successful launch of Agentforce and Marvell's focus on AI hardware for cloud services position both companies to capitalize on the booming demand for AI technology.
As businesses continue to integrate AI into their operations, these companies are likely to remain at the forefront of this rapidly expanding market.
