Salesforce's Disappointing Earnings
Salesforce, a leading provider of customer relationship management (CRM) software, saw its stock drop 4% after hours following its earnings report. The company's third-quarter revenue forecast fell short of expectations, raising concerns among investors about the company's ability to monetize its AI investments. Salesforce has been heavily investing in AI, with its Agentforce platform aiming to automate CRM processes. Despite strong second-quarter revenue and a $20 billion increase to its share buyback program, the company's stock continued to decline [1].
Figma's Mixed Earnings
Figma, a design software company, saw its stock drop more than 10% after its first earnings report as a public company. The company surpassed revenue estimates for the second quarter but faced a significant drop in stock price. Figma reported better-than-expected revenue, with a 41% year-over-year increase, but its stock price plummeted due to concerns over its AI integration and future growth prospects [2].
Investor Concerns and AI Adoption
Investors are growing increasingly impatient with the time it takes for AI investments to translate into profits. While some companies like Microsoft have seen AI-driven growth, others like Salesforce and Figma are still grappling with the challenge of monetizing AI. Salesforce's CEO Marc Benioff hinted at potential acquisitions using the increased share buyback funds, while Figma's CEO Dylan Field emphasized the growing importance of human touch in AI-driven software development [3].
