Salesforce stock rises as RBC lifts target to $290, AI bets back in focus for CRM shares

New York, January 6, 2026, 14:42 EST — Regular session Salesforce (CRM) shares climbed 2.6% to $262.82 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, tracking a broader bid for large-cap software names as investors leaned back into AI-linked trades.
