CRM: Salesforce Hits 52-Week Lows. Time to Buy?
Salesforce shares touched $163.52 on April 12 — a fresh 52-week low and a 44% collapse from the $296 peak. The stock hasn't been this cheap in two years. At $165, Salesforce trades at 21x trailing earnings with $7.80 in EPS, a 3.4% free cash flow yield, and $41.5 billion in trailing twelve-month revenue. These are value stock metrics attached to a company that still grew revenue 9.2% year-over-year in its most recent quarter. The market is pricing Salesforce like growth is over. It isn't. The question isn't whether Salesforce is a good business — $15 billion in annual operating cash flow answers that. The question is whether the tariff-driven selloff has created a genuine buying opportunity or a value trap masking secular deceleration. Salesforce is part of the broader SaaS repricing that has wiped $290 billion from the sector.
