Salesforce Q2 Net Income Jumps 87% on $2.6B Anthropic Investment Gain

Zubiqo Take

“Booking a multi-billion dollar startup paper gain helps disguise the fact that core enterprise subscription growth is settling into mid-tier territory.”

Key Developments & Data

Salesforce $CRM jumps 13% after hours following earnings and guidance beat. Q2 revenue grew 11% year over year to $11.35B, topping expectations. Net income surged 87% to $3.53B, boosted by a $2.6B gain on its Anthropic stake. Free cash flow spiked 81% to $1.10B against $643.2M projected by consensus. Annualized revenue from Agentforce AI products reached $1.5B, climbing 240% from a year ago. Full-year revenue guidance was raised to a range between $46.1B and $46.4B. A massive venture paper gain is bailing out an otherwise standard single-digit enterprise software growth grind we've grown accustomed to.
