Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) is aggressively embracing AI in enterprise software. CEO Marc Benioff is positioning the company&#8217;s AI agents as the industry&#8217;s next significant evolution.
The company plans to deploy software bots that can handle various tasks autonomously, aiming to streamline operations and reduce the workload for human employees.

During a recent episode of the Equity podcast, Benioff shared his vision, underscoring how this shift could reshape enterprise software as we know it.
Benioff emphasized the potential of these AI agents to revolutionize productivity by extending workforce capabilities without limitations, TechCrunch <a target="_blank" href="https://techcrunch.com/podcast/marc-benioff-says-its-crazy-talk-that-ai-will-hurt-salesforce-wants-a-billion-ai-agents-in-a-year/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The Salesforce chief noted that hundreds of companies already leverage <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41607435/salesforce-launches-agentforce-redefining-ai-in-business-with-autonomous-solutions" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Agentforce platform</a>, an AI-driven tool enabling autonomous task execution across business functions.
He set an ambitious target of deploying a billion AI agents within a year, showcasing this technology&#8217;s scalability and market demand.
Benioff shared a personal example from a recent visit to a Disney park, using the company&#8217;s virtual tour guide feature. The AI agent analyzed historical ride preferences and current park traffic, suggesting customized itineraries.
This personalized approach demonstrated how AI can enhance user experiences across different sectors, including entertainment, retail, and healthcare.
While Salesforce continues to develop its Agentforce platform, Benioff criticized Microsoft Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) AI offerings and expressed skepticism about Microsoft&#8217;s Copilot agents. He cited user complaints and research indicating security and functionality issues with Microsoft&#8217;s solutions.
Despite the rise of new AI-focused startups, Benioff remains confident in Salesforce&#8217;s position.
Benioff emphasized that Salesforce&#8217;s secure data infrastructure sets it apart, enabling more reliable AI-driven insights and services.
As part of its growth strategy, Salesforce uses its own AI agents internally across various departments, including customer service and sales.

Analyst Scoreboard: 38 Ratings For Salesforce

WIIM

Salesforce shares are trading higher after Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on the stock and raised its price target from $350 to $400.

Jefferies analyst Brent Thill maintains Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $350 to $400.

Jefferies Maintains Buy on Salesforce, Raises Price Target to $400

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) remains a significant holding for The Future Fund despite position reductions, according to Managing Partner Gary Black, who cited concerns over the impact of price cuts of its electric vehicles on earnings.
What Happened: Black revealed that while Tesla has been among the fund&#8217;s top positions for The Future Fund Active ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>) since its August 2021 launch, the fund trimmed its Tesla holdings from 12.2% in October 2022 to 4.6% as of Nov 8. 
The decision came as Tesla&#8217;s fiscal year 2025 earnings estimates declined by 59%, leading to underperformance against the Nasdaq 100 index.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t sugarcoat the negatives, and remain highly disciplined about valuation,&#8221; Black wrote on X, explaining his measured approach to Tesla investment. He noted a cautious stance until Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi technology proves viable.
Despite the reduced position, Tesla joins other tech giants in The Future Fund&#8217;s top-performing holdings for 2024. NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) leads with a 198% gain, followed by Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) at 28%, Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) at 43%, Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) at 22%, Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) at 63%, and Tesla at 29%.
The fund maintains a strategic approach to position sizing based on a target 2:1 upside/downside ratio. Black emphasized the importance of balanced analysis, stating that the fund aims to present both bullish and bearish arguments to inform investor decisions.
Black&#8217;s communication style has occasionally put him at odds with some Tesla bulls, though he maintains that constructive criticism within the investment community should be welcomed rather than attacked.

Why It Matters: Despite the recent challenges, Tesla has continued to be a significant player in the electric vehicle market. The company&#8217;s stock has seen a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41834789/rivian-vs-tesla-how-the-ev-rivals-stack-up-in-gary-blacks-investment-portfolio">49.65% increase</a> over the past year, maintaining its position as the EV market leader.
However, Tesla&#8217;s EV technology has recently come under scrutiny. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has raised concerns about Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41867551/tesla-faces-nhtsa-scrutiny-over-social-media-promotion-of-fsd-technology-that-shows-disengaged-driver-behavior">social media promotion</a> of its Full Self Driving technology, which depicts disengaged driver behavior.
Meanwhile, Tesla&#8217;s future plans, such as the construction of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/11/41858978/elon-musk-to-ditch-tesla-gigafactory-in-mexico-after-trumps-win-economy-minister-wants-a-meeting">Gigafactory in Mexico</a>, could be affected by the recent U.S. presidential election results.

Tesla Remains Core For Gary Black Despite Price Cuts, Earnings Drop — Nvidia, Google, Eli Lilly Among Top Performers In Tech Bull's Portfolio

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) shares are trading higher Friday. The company revealed plans to hire over 1,000 employees to support the sales push for its new AI product, Agentforce, which targets the growing demand for AI-driven automation across various business functions. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41607435/salesforce-launches-agentforce-redefining-ai-in-business-with-autonomous-solutions">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-08/salesforce-to-hire-1-000-salespeople-for-ai-agent-push">According to Bloomberg</a>, Agentforce is designed to help companies set up AI agents capable of performing tasks like customer service, marketing and order management autonomously. The product integrates with Salesforce&#8217;s Customer 360 platform, making it part of the company's broader shift toward AI-powered business automation. Initial pricing for Agentforce is about $2 per agent conversation and Salesforce reports positive initial customer feedback.
CEO Marc Benioff described the hiring expansion as a response to "amazing momentum" for the generative AI tool, noting positive customer feedback since its launch two weeks ago.
In addition to these new hires, Salesforce's stock may have also gained momentum due to a "Golden Cross" technical signal, which indicates that its short-term (50-day) moving average has moved above its long-term (200-day) moving average.
Benioff commented on the move, highlighting the "incredible momentum" behind Agentforce and expressing confidence in the company's ability to capture new growth opportunities in AI. 
CRM Price Action: Salesforce shares were up 3.59% at $321.94 at the time of writing, according to Benzinga Pro.
