Join at 7investing.com/subscribe Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) just reported $11 billion in Q1 fiscal 2027 revenue, and the stock is still trading at less than 13x free cash flow, a valuation that Salesforce itself apparently finds too cheap. The company borrowed $25 billion in a single quarter to execute an accelerated share repurchase, reducing its diluted share count by 10% in 90 days as part of a $50 billion buyback authorization. Simon Erickson breaks down why this is one of the most aggressive and under-appreciated capital return stories in enterprise software right now.Beyond the buyback, the real growth engine is Agentforce, Salesforce's AI agentic platform, which is tripling year over year and now generating $3.4 billion in annual recurring revenue combined with its Data 360 customer record platform. With 1.6 billion agentic work unit interactions already logged and a $67 billion remaining performance obligation backlog, Salesforce is positioning itself as the largest and most embedded AI enterprise software platform in the world, one that has spent two decades accumulating the customer data that AI agents actually need to work properly.Simon argues Salesforce has successfully navigated the transition that's destroyed many SaaS peers: moving from per-seat licensing to usage-based AI credits, internalizing AI to reallocate 4,000 customer service jobs into revenue-generating roles, and growing its AI revenue at 200% year over year. With a long-term target of $63 billion in fiscal 2030 revenue (already raised from $60B), a growing dividend, and a management team putting real capital behind the buyback, this is a very different company than the hyper-growth Salesforce of a decade ago, and possibly a more reliable one for long-term investors.0:00 - Introduction and Overview of Salesforce's business1:13 - Review of Q1 2027 results4:36 - A closer look at the Agentforce AI platform6:48 - Why Salesforce is an "Underappreciated Winner in the AI Software World"7:55 - Investor Day Commitments for Fiscal 20309:48 - Why Salesforce's Accelerated Repurchase Plan is important11:06 - Review of Salesforce as an investment opportunity12:20 - Q&A and audience questionsStocks MentionedSalesforce (NYSE:CRM)Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR)Oracle (NYSE:ORCL)Informatica (NYSE:INFA) — acquired by Salesforce#Salesforce #CRM #AIAgents #EnterpriseAI #SaaSStocks #TechStocks #ShareBuyback #StockAnalysis #Q1Earnings #GrowthStocks #StocksToWatch #InvestingIn2026 #7investing #Simonerickson
