Salesforce's growth has stalled despite its push into artificial intelligence. The company's first-quarter fiscal 2025 results were underwhelming, with revenue growing only 11%. This slow growth is puzzling, given Salesforce's efforts to lead the agentic AI revolution.
Salesforce has been investing heavily in AI, unveiling new AI-powered sales innovations aimed at accelerating productivity and growth. The company has also expanded its AI sales team, despite cutting over 1,000 jobs in other areas.
The stalled growth raises questions about the effectiveness of Salesforce's AI strategy and its ability to drive meaningful revenue growth. The company's unpredictable AI investments and restructuring efforts may be contributing to the uncertainty surrounding its growth prospects.
