Salesforce Delivers Strong Performance with Informatica Acquisition Boost December 12, 2025
Company Overview
Salesforce Inc. is a leading cloud-based software company that provides customer relationship management (CRM) solutions and enterprise applications. Its comprehensive cloud computing services enables businesses across various industries manage customer interactions, sales processes, and marketing campaigns..
Strong Quarterly Results Exceed Expectations
Salesforce delivered impressive third-quarter fiscal 2026 results, that met revenue expectations while significantly outperforming on earnings. The company’s nine-month fiscal 2026 revenue reached 74% of its full-year forecast, while adjusted profit after tax and minority interests reached 80% of its annual projections. Earnings strength was driven by the delayed timing of expenses and improved bad-debt collections, which enhanced overall profitability.
Informatica Acquisition Drives Guidance Upgrade
The completion of Salesforce’s acquisition of Informatica has provided a substantial boost to the company’s growth trajectory. Management raised fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 guidance, with the completed Informatica deal contributing a significant three percentage points to revenue growth, bringing the total expected growth to 11-12%. Subscription and Support growth for fiscal 2026 also rose by 0.8 percentage points, resulting in a robust 10% year-over-year increase.
Investment Recommendation and Valuation
Phillip Securities Research maintains a BUY rating on Salesforce, raising its target price to US$382.00, up from US$364.00. This reflects upward adjustments of 1% to fiscal 2026 revenue and 5% adjusted profit forecasts, following the strong third-quarter results and upgraded guidance.
The research firm’s valuation methodology remains consistent, with weighted-average cost of capital at 8.4% and terminal growth at 6%. The adjusted fiscal 2026 forward price-to-earnings ratio of 22.7x offers an attractive valuation, trading below the one-year historical average of 25.3x. This suggest potential upside for investors seeking exposure to the cloud computing sector.
Conclusion
As FPL advances its pipeline and unlocks value through targeted recycling efforts, the group continues to demonstrate its ability to create resilient income streams and high-impact landmark developments. With a strengthened balance sheet, expanding development momentum, and iconic projects like One Bangkok setting new benchmarks in urban living, FPL is charting a path of sustained growth. Investors can look forward to a company progressively closing its valuation gap while driving long-term value across multiple real estate sectors.
