Salesforce also cuts fiscal year sales forecast

Salesforce data indicates that third-quarter sales will be $7.83 billion, down from analysts’ expectations of $8.05 billion, and that the revenue forecast will drop from $31.8 billion to $31 billion, showing a shift in customer attitude.

Salesforce disclosed a $10 billion share repurchase plan. Anurag Rana, a Bloomberg Intelligence analyst, said that the buyback “may suggest that the stock has been under a lot of pressure over the previous year and a half, which is what caused it.”

The company’s shares decreased 5.5% in extended trading in New York to $180.01 per share. Amid a severe IT downturn that has particularly hurt software vendors, stocks are down 29% this year.
