J.P. Morgan has reiterated an Overweight rating on Salesforce Inc (CRM) with a December-2027 price target of $265, after the company’s investor day reaffirmed its $63B+ FY30 revenue framework and disclosed fresh economics behind its premium upgrade and Agentforce installed-base repricing story. The event was incrementally positive for the re-rating thesis even though management declined to issue formal FY28 guidance, contrary to the bank’s expectations.

Key Takeaways

  • J.P. Morgan rates Salesforce Inc (CRM) Overweight with a Dec-27 price target of $265, based on ~11x EV/uFCF on CY28E unlevered free cash flow.
  • Salesforce reaffirmed its $63B+ FY30 revenue target (11%+ FY26–FY30 CAGR including Informatica) but gave no formal FY28 guidance, with growth depicted as two years in “the $50Bs”.
  • Premium licence ARR has reached $1B+, with premium mix rising from 1% in F1Q25 to 5% in F2Q27; every 1% of the base migrating to premium tiers is worth roughly $100M.
