Bank of America analyst Tal Liani downgraded Salesforce to Underperform with a $160 price target, well below the consensus of $268.05. The downgrade reflects concerns about Salesforce's AI initiative Agentforce, which may compress its traditional per-seat subscription pricing and limit revenue growth. Despite Salesforce's strong fiscal 2026 results and $41.5 billion revenue, the analyst warns of muted new customer additions and underwhelming AI monetization. The stock, down 33% year-to-date and trading near $178.50, faces further downside risk as investors debate the sustainability of Salesforce's growth amid AI-driven structural changes. The next earnings report will be crucial to assess Agentforce's revenue trajectory and the company's future growth potential.
