CRM: Bull or Bear?
Salesforce.com: Buy on a pull-back
CRM
+6.73%
in
59 days
Filed under: salesforce.com inc (CRM), Stocks to Buy  There are stock plays, and then there are stock plays. Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) was expected to advance when first recommended on June 18, 2009 at a price of $40.16. Instead, CRM raced ahead, surging 47%. Accordingly, I'm Reiterating my Buy rating, but on a pull-back to $55-57.
The larger point concerns the following: is the recent gain in Salesforce.com's shares telegraphing something about the approaching U.S. economic recovery? Perhaps. Put CRM's share gain in this context: if the share gain holds, it's not a bearish sign for the U.S. ...

Salesforce.com: Customer relationship software on demand is in demand
CRM
+51.07%

(closed on 10/08/09)
Filed under: salesforce.com inc (CRM), Stocks to Buy  The recession has not changed the Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) shareholder value proposition: namely, that delivery of software on demand requires a lower up-front investment and offers increased vendor accountability, with flexible subscription pricing, among other benefits.
What the recession has changed is the rate of sales growth for CRM, which is expected to slow to the 15-18% range in FY2009. In short, CRM's customers have slowed software implementations, due to the prolonged economic contraction. The First Call FY2009/FY2010 EPS estim...

<> I came across an interesting offer on Craigslist today to sell 144 restricted stock for Etelos Inc. (OTCBB: ETLO), representing about 10% of the 23.05 million total shares outstanding. Since the stock is thinly traded with an average volume of less than 2,000 shares per day, the seller is looking to negotiate a block trade on his own and the ask price is generous at a 69% discount of the closing price today. Below is a summary and links for the listing, followed by a summary of the company.

Salesforce.com: Demystifying the Force
CRM
-18.81%
in

When one listens to the upbeat tone of Salesforce.com’s (CRM) management on the Q2 conference call, one is surely bewildered by the street's reaction - a 15% haircut. After all, the company made their revenue and EPS numbers- what’s the fuss about?  Well let me clarify. Yes, they even eclipsed the street revenue forecast ($263.1m vs. the street’s $261m, a yoy leap of 49%) and reaffirmed their fiscal 09 targets (before the acquisition; by the way, how a $34m acquisition shaves 10% off EPS for an $8 billion company is a subject for another day).

SALESFORCE.COM ( CRM )
Market Cap: $7,700 million

Salesforce.com has been successful providing “software on demand” to a wide range of business customers.

It has been known since the early days of management that consumerism is what drives capitalism. For any business, you provide a service which provides a utility for the individual who is seeking some form of satisfaction—either through the beauty of the brand [Ferrari] or, in Salesforce’s (CRM) case, the satisfaction of starting your own company at a low cost.

5/22 - "We advise investors to wait for a better entry point before buying CRM shares. We are primarily concerned with CRM’s valuation, although we have concerns regarding the macro-economic environment as well."
"We do not know if the sequential decline in deferred revenue reflects increasing seasonality or a potential deterioration in the business....deferred revenue declined sequentially for the first time since CY 2002. We have previously written that for subscription vendors, Q1 revenue could stem from implementations of bookings signed as far back as Q1/Q2 2007, with Q2 guidance stem...

5/22 - "Salesforce.com (CRM) is the thing you’ve been waiting for: a play on Web 3.0.
At least, that’s the way Jefferies & Co.’s Ross MacMillan sees it. He raised his rating on the stock today to Buy from Hold, and upped his price target to $77 from $49. The move comes one day after the company reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal first quarter ended April.
MacMillan contends that the company is morphing from the leader in on-demand CRM software to “a major provider of cloud computer infrastructure.” (Which is to say, Web 3.0.)."

1. Google just got done completing a deal w/ Salesforce, why bother if they were negotiating a purchase of entire company anyway? 2. Google doesn't need CRM. CRM's business has nothing to do with search, and is built on top of Oracle databases, whereas Google's entire portfolio is built on BigTable "database". There's no synergy with owning CRM, frankly it would be a distraction to mgt. <> 3. CRM isn't cheap. Yes, everyone follows cashflow multiples with CRM, but is that really an accurate portrayal of earnings? Still have never seen a convincing argument that cashflow is<>...
