3 Reasons Salesforce.com Stock Is a Buy After Q2 Earnings


Shares of customer relationship management (CRM) leader Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM) are rallying back toward their all-time high set last autumn.

This top cloud stock remains a buy in my book following the earnings update for three reasons.

Salesforce’s revenue increased 23% year over year to $6.34 billion — its first-ever quarter with over $6 billion in sales. Leading the charge with a more than 24% year-over-year increase to $1.88 billion was the largest of its four reporting segments, the “platform and other” unit, primarily made up of data management outfits MuleSoft and Tableau.
