AI Software Reset? CRM, C3.ai Miss, Can CoreWeave Deliver?
Salesforce reported Q4 revenue of $11.2 billion, up 12% YoY, its fastest growth in two years, beating expectations. However, FY2027 revenue guidance of $45.8–46.2 billion was slightly below the $46.06 billion consensus. The stock fell over 4–5% after hours and is down more than 28% year to date. C3.ai announced it will lay off 26% of its global workforce as part of a restructuring plan under new CEO Stephen Echegoyen. Is softer long-term guidance overshadowing solid near-term execution? Can CoreWeave tell different story?
