Akcje Salesforce próbują się ustabilizować po „softwarowej apokalipsie” AI — wyniki za 25 lutego będą kolejnym testem

7 lutego 2026
Nowy Jork, 6 lutego 2026, 11:23 (EST) — Sesja regularna Akcje Salesforce wzrosły o 0,1% do 190,07 USD podczas piątkowego handlu przedpołudniowego, po wahaniach w sesji od 187,29 do 194,52 USD. Niewielki spadek kończy trudny tydzień dla Salesforce, gdy inwestorzy rozplątują szeroki „handel AI” i zaczynają traktować oprogramowanie jako potencjalnego przegranego, a nie zwycięzcę.
