This Month's Featured Article Why Analysts Still See Big Upside in Salesforce After the SaaS ScareAuthored by Thomas Hughes. Published: 2/16/2026. 
Key Points - Salesforce’s pullback has analysts debating risk versus opportunity, but most price targets still imply notable upside.
- The company’s AI strategy centers on unifying data and execution through Data Cloud and Agentforce, plus broad model partnerships.
- Valuation, upcoming earnings, and guidance are positioned as the key swing factors for the stock.
- Special Report: Introducing "Elon Musk's Day-One Retirement Plan" (From Brownstone Research)
 Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) shares have dropped sharply, creating what many see as a deep-value opportunity amid this year's broad software sell-off. However, the "SaaS apocalypse" narrative is overblown, and analysts are taking note. While AI can disrupt SaaS names, the risk is uneven: leading AI modelers are expanding into new verticals, but many SaaS vendors are also leaning into AI to add client value. Salesforce, in particular, has been a leader in AI, machine learning, and automation for years. Its Data Cloud and Agentforce combination provides a unified platform for CRM data management, insights, and AI-powered execution. The result is an automated, end-to-end CRM platform that drives efficiency across organizations. On the model side, Salesforce has integrated access to the major AI model providers and incorporated those capabilities into its platforms. Analysts Trimmed Targets: Highlight Market's Overreaction Analyst activity contributed to Salesforce's decline: several firms trimmed price targets in late 2025 and early 2026. Still, the market appears to have overreacted, moving well below the lowest posted target. As of mid-February, upside potential starts at roughly 15% and runs as high as about 70% at the consensus. Although the revision trend suggests downside risk relative to prior targets, the $221 low-end target is an outlier. Most analyst targets cluster between $235 and nearly $400, comfortably above current levels. The main takeaway: analysts are uncertain about the path forward but continue to see material upside—generally moderate to strong double-digit potential. Recent commentary from Wedbush analyst Dan Ives described the SaaS sell-off as overdone and called it a "table-pounding" buying opportunity for software stocks. Regarding Salesforce, he views the company as a core participant in the AI transition and has added it back to the Dan Ives Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (NYSEARCA: IVES) portfolio. Another bullish underpinning is institutional support: institutions own roughly 80% of the shares and have been net buyers in 2026. MarketBeat's data shows institutions buying at about a 2-to-1 pace over the trailing 12 months and continuing that trend into early 2026, providing a solid support base as the price declined. Short-sellers haven't aggressively added into the weakness; while short interest has risen in recent months, it remains low enough to have limited market impact. Underappreciated Salesforce Can Rise Triple Digits on Valuation Alone Whether or not disruption materializes, Salesforce's revenue and earnings outlook remain solid, and the market appears to be underpricing the company. Analysts' estimates imply roughly 16x this year's earnings and under 7x projected 2035 earnings—valuation metrics that suggest a 200% to 400% upside is possible over time. Many blue‑chip tech names tend to trade closer to 30x current-year earnings; the primary missing piece for Salesforce is a clear catalyst, which could arrive with upcoming earnings and guidance. Salesforce's Q4 fiscal 2026 report is due in late February and is widely expected to beat consensus. Analysts have been raising estimates, though the consensus still sits in the single digits while the company has signaled acceleration into the double digits. Guidance will be critical: any clear sign of strength or weakness could be a near-term catalyst for the stock. Price action has been choppy. The market hit fresh lows in early February and could move lower, but mid-month trading shows signs of indecision that may indicate a floor. If the bottom holds, resistance levels are near $195 and $225, with critical support at $180.
