Why Salesforce leads
Q2 FY27 · Aug 26 release
+11% year over year
+14% year over year
more than +210%
- Guide: FY27 revenue raised to $46.1B–$46.4B.
- AI catalyst: an expanded Anthropic partnership, “Claudeforce,” reinforced the agentic-software story.
- Quality check: adjusted EPS included an Anthropic investment gain; the operating signal matters more than headline EPS alone.

Aug 27 · 1:02 a.m. EDT

Investor checklist
- Liquidity and spreads: can CRM and CRWD hold double-digit gains once volume thins?
- Premarket handoff: look for breadth beyond the three earnings leaders.
- Weekly jobless claims; a yield move above 4.65% would test growth multiples.
- Marvell results provide the next read on AI-networking demand.
