Salesforce shares jump as $60 billion forecast boosts investor confidence
CONTENT:
Salesforce shares rose more than 6% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company projected over $60 billion in revenue by 2030, easing investor concerns over slowing growth amid rising competition from AI-powered tools.
The optimistic forecast, announced at Salesforce’s Dreamforce event, signals a strong recovery for the Marc Benioff-led firm, which earlier this year reported its first revenue decline in nearly three years. The projection excludes the impact of Salesforce’s planned $8 billion acquisition of Informatica, expected to close in the first half of 2026.
The deal will strengthen Salesforce’s artificial intelligence capabilities, integrating Informatica’s data management and governance tools into its cloud ecosystem. Analysts said the improved outlook and a $7 billion share buyback plan reflect management’s “confidence in durable free cash flow and sustained bookings growth.”
J.P. Morgan analysts noted that the new forecast could “shift the narrative toward sustainable double-digit growth,” while Jefferies said Salesforce’s expanding margins could bring it in line with other large-cap peers by the end of the decade.
Salesforce has been rapidly embedding AI partnerships into its platform, expanding collaborations with OpenAI and Anthropic to enhance its Agentforce 360 system. The company has also pledged to invest $15 billion in San Francisco over the next five years to drive AI adoption across its services.
Anthropic aims to nearly triple annualized revenue in 2026 amid surging enterprise AI demand
Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is targeting an ambitious leap in revenue, projecting to more than double—and potentially nearly triple—its annualized revenue run rate in 2026, according to sources familiar with the company’s internal forecasts.
The San Francisco-based firm expects to hit an annualized revenue run rate of $9 billion by the end of 2025, and has set 2026 goals ranging from $20 billion to $26 billion, driven by rapid adoption of its enterprise-focused AI products. Anthropic confirmed to Reuters that its current revenue run rate is approaching $7 billion, up from $5 billion in August, though it declined to comment on future projections.
The growth underscores the accelerating demand for generative AI tools across industries, even as questions arise over the sustainability of massive AI infrastructure investments. About 80% of Anthropic’s revenue now comes from its 300,000 enterprise customers, who use its Claude models for software integration, data analysis, and automation.
One major contributor has been Claude Code, Anthropic’s AI-powered programming assistant, which has already reached a $1 billion annualized run rate since launching earlier this year. The company also recently introduced its Haiku 4.5 model — a low-cost AI system aimed at making enterprise AI more accessible.
Anthropic’s growth trajectory puts it in direct competition with OpenAI, whose revenue surpassed $13 billion in August and is expected to exceed $20 billion by year’s end. Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI employees, Anthropic has been valued at $183 billion following a $13 billion funding round led by ICONIQ.
Backed by Amazon and Google, the company plans to open its first India office in Bengaluru in 2026 and significantly expand its workforce to meet surging global demand for enterprise AI solutions.
