Despite posting mixed financial results on Wednesday, Salesforce $CRM ( ▲ 1.71% ) still managed to climb 1.79% in after-hours trading.

Financials: Salesforce reported earnings of $3.25 per share in the past quarter, which were better than expected. Revenue reached $10.3 billion, which was in-line.

Quote: “Our Agentforce and Data 360 products are the momentum drivers, hitting nearly $1.4 billion in ARR—an explosive 114% year-over-year gain.” - CEO Marc Benioff.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: This is a strong environment for Agentforce and Data 360 because enterprises are finally moving from GenAI experiments to production-scale, agentic workflows, and they are realizing that those agents only work reliably when grounded in unified, governed first‑party data—the exact problem Salesforce’s stack is built to solve.

Final Thoughts: Investors of Salesforce finally have something to cheer about. The stock had been down 27% this year.
