TeamViewer Lowers 2025 Revenue Outlook Amid Weak Performance at 1E Unit

TeamViewer (TMV.DE) said on Tuesday it now expects its 2025 revenue to come in at the lower end of its previous guidance—between €778 million and €797 million ($907 million–$929.5 million)—as weakness in its recently acquired 1E business continues to weigh on growth.

The 1E unit, acquired in December 2024, develops software that helps detect and fix IT issues but has underperformed expectations. TeamViewer cited “ongoing transformation efforts and persistent macroeconomic challenges” as reasons for the slowdown. The unit’s annual recurring revenue fell short of projections, with sales slipping 8% in the third quarter, even as overall company revenue rose 4% at constant currency.

TeamViewer said the downturn reflects not only Europe’s sluggish economic climate but also macroeconomic headwinds in the United States, where 1E traditionally has its strongest customer base. CFO Michael Wilkens noted that turnaround efforts for the business “will take time to materialize,” dampening near-term growth prospects.

As a result, TeamViewer cut its overall annual recurring revenue forecast to €780–€800 million, down from €815–€840 million previously, and trimmed its 2026 revenue growth outlook to 2%–6%. To mitigate the impact, the company said it will introduce new cost-cutting initiatives.

Despite the weaker revenue forecast, TeamViewer raised its adjusted EBITDA margin target for 2025 to 44% from 43%, crediting tighter cost control and improved operational efficiency. The company said its long-term focus remains on strengthening recurring revenue and restoring growth momentum at 1E.

Oracle forecasts $166 billion in cloud revenue by 2030 as AI demand fuels growth

Oracle (ORCL.N) expects its cloud infrastructure business to soar to $166 billion in annual revenue by fiscal 2030, nearly three-quarters of its total projected sales, as the company capitalizes on surging demand for artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

The forecast, unveiled by CEO Clay Magouyrk during a meeting with analysts, signals Oracle’s growing confidence that its cloud business will continue to expand well beyond its current customer base, which includes OpenAI and Meta Platforms.

CFO Dough Kehring said Oracle anticipates total revenue of $225 billion and adjusted earnings of $21 per share by 2030, outpacing Wall Street expectations of $198.4 billion in sales and $18.92 per share in profits, according to LSEG data.

The company’s cloud infrastructure bookings have ballooned, with Oracle reporting a $65 billion surge in new commitments over a single month last quarter — including a $20 billion deal with Meta. Magouyrk emphasized that the new commitments came from multiple clients, not just OpenAI.

In its most recent quarter, Oracle’s cloud revenue jumped 28% to $7.2 billion, underscoring rapid adoption of its AI and enterprise cloud services.

While the company’s gross margins are expected to fluctuate as it scales its infrastructure business, Oracle said its AI cloud margins will remain in the 30–40% range, while traditional enterprise cloud segments will maintain between 65% and 80% margins.

Oracle shares rose 3% after the forecast, though they dipped slightly in after-hours trading.

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.
