  • Salesforce Stock Drops Amid AI Fears Despite Strong Q1 Fiscal 2027 Results
    June 18, 2026, 10:36 AM EDT. Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) shares hit a 52-week low, down about 40% year to date, despite reporting strong fiscal Q1 2027 results with $11.1 billion revenue, a 13% increase year over year. The drop stems from fears that AI automation may reduce demand for Salesforce's traditional subscription seats. However, Salesforce's AI and data products revenue surged 200% to $3.4 billion in annual recurring revenue. The company's seat count in core sales and service products grew, contradicting concerns. Non-GAAP operating margin hit a record 34.8%, with $6.6 billion in free cash flow. Salesforce also returned $27.5 billion to shareholders via share repurchases. The data suggest AI is currently complementing, not replacing, Salesforce's seat-based model.
