Some of Salesforce’s well-known clients include Walmart. The company is global with most of its clients coming from the United States and the United Kingdom.  </p><p>At the end of May, Salesforce <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://investor.salesforce.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2022/Salesforce-Announces-Strong-First-Quarter-Fiscal-2023-Results/default.aspx" target="_blank">reported</a> first-quarter results that beat analyst expectations while also lifting its full-year guidance for earnings. The company posted revenues of $7.41 billion against an expected $7.38 billion and earnings of 98 cents per share against an expected 94 cents per share.  </p><p>With revenues up 24% year over year and a successful $2.7 billion acquisition of Slack, many analysts are bullish on the long-term prospects for Salesforce’s stock price, as discussed further below.  </p><p>Interestingly, while many other companies bemoan worldwide economic conditions, Salesforce co-founder and co-CEO Marc Benioff, <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/31/salesforce-crm-earnings-q1-2023.html" target="_blank">said</a> “We’re just not seeing material impact on the broader economic world that all of you are in.”  </p><p>However, this does not mean to say the company’s performance will continue to perform in the midst of a global economic slowdown. Some of its clients may start to slow down or cut expenses. This is one of the reasons why Salesforce has slowed down its hiring process.  </p><p>This also led to Salesforce lowering its revenue guidance for 2023 but boosting its profit expectations.  </p><h2 aria-level="2"><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB" data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-para><span data-ccp-para>Salesforce</span><span data-ccp-para> Stock Forecast</span> </span><span data-ccp-para>- What </span><span data-ccp-para>do t</span><span data-ccp-para>he Analysts</span><span data-ccp-para> Say</span><span data-ccp-para>?</span></span><span data-ccp-props='{"201341983":0,"335559738":40,"335559739":0,"335559740":259}'> </span></h2><p>According to analysts polled by <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/crm/forecast" target="_blank">TipRanks</a> for a Salesforce stock forecast in the past 3 months, there are currently 29 buy, 4 hold and 0 sell ratings on the stock.

This means buying 10 shares in Salesforce stock would result in a commission of $0.20 ($0.02 * 10 shares).  </p><p>There is a low minimum transaction fee of $1.
