Salesforce CEO Isn't Fazed by SaaS-pocalypse -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06:27

1727 ET - Salesforce Chief Executive Marc Benioff says he isn't fazed by the recent software sell-off. "This is not our first SaaS-pocalypse," Benioff tells analysts. "We are going to make it through this one as well, so this is a great marketing opportunity and a great buying opportunity." Benioff says the opportunity drove the company to authorize a $50 billion share buyback program. "Today we are increasing our authorization to $50 billion because these are some low prices," he says. Salesforce shares hit a 52-week low earlier this week as investors worry AI will replace software services. The stock fell another 5.5% after hours. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
