Salesforce still a strong long‑term buy despite 2025 slump

Despite a rough 2025 for Salesforce — with its stock lagging behind the broader market and tech heavyweights — one recent analysis argues there’s no fundamental disruption in its business model and that it remains a “great long‑term buy.” The case rests on a few key tenets. First, Salesforce continues to generate strong free cash flow and is using that cash to fund stock buybacks, which could boost shareholder value over time. Second, the company’s long‑term pivot toward profitability and margin expansion — especially as it broadens AI and data‑cloud offerings — gives it staying power. And lastly, with its market cap at roughly $220 billion and a valuation that screeners consider reasonable relative to peers, there’s still upside potential if execution holds. In short: 2025 may have been a bump in the road — but for investors with a horizon of several years, Salesforce’s cash flow, buybacks, and evolving AI‑enabled business make a compelling long‑term bet. #Salesforce #LongTermInvesting #TechStocks #SAAS #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
