I warned about the extreme optimism on CRM stock in December 2023. My caution has panned out. Salesforce's AI monetization may take longer than expected, but the company remains confident in its long-term potential. Now, the market has become too pessimistic about CRM's growth potential, with a forward adjusted PEG ratio of just 1.2.

Salesforce's Q1 FY2025 report showed total revenues of $9.13B, missing estimates and causing a 20% drop in the stock. The company's AI efforts are expected to bear fruit in the coming years, and it continues to generate strong cash flow. Despite short-term challenges, Salesforce's long-term business fundamentals remain intact, making the current dip a buying opportunity.

Salesforce stock dropped ~20% after Q1 fiscal 2025 earnings, missing revenue expectations by ~$14 million. The negative sentiment was in anticipation of future growth challenges, but largely unwarranted. Salesforce may face a future economy with highly democratized AI systems. This deflationary trend, also driven by mainstream robotics, may impact demand for Salesforce's current AI pricing in ~15 years. Despite risks, Salesforce remains a strong investment for the next decade. My conservative DCF model shows the company is roughly 20% undervalued. I reiterate my Buy rating.
