Salesforce (CRM) — the variant view

Salesforce's second quarter of fiscal 2027 doubled EPS on a $2.6 billion investment gain while operating income was flat, and current RPO grew 14%.

Salesforce's second quarter of fiscal 2027, ended 31 July 2026, looked spectacular on the headline and ordinary underneath. Revenue was $11,345 million, up 11%, including $456 million from Informatica1. Subscription and support revenue was $10,820 million, up 12%2. Marc Benioff called it "one of our best quarters ever"3.

Flat operations, doubled net income.

Diluted EPS was $4.29, "up 119% Y/Y"4, but $2.43 of it came from gains on strategic investments5, driven by "unrealized gains on privately held equity investments of $2.9 billion" partly offset by $285 million of impairments6. Income from operations was $2,331 million against $2,332 million7. The GAAP operating margin fell to 20.5% from 22.8%, and the adjusted margin to 34.1% from 34.3%8.

The balance sheet carried the new debt. Interest expense was $473 million against $67 million9. Diluted shares were 821 million against 962 million10, after the accelerated repurchase. Operating cash flow was $1.3 billion, "up 71% Y/Y", and free cash flow $1.1 billion11.

The forward measures were the best part. Current RPO was $33.5 billion, up 14%12. Agentforce ARR exceeded $1.5 billion, on a widened definition13. The company raised full-year revenue guidance to $46.1 billion to $46.4 billion14, mostly from the pending Contentful and Fin deals.

Professional services lost more: revenue of $525 million against cost of $628 million15, a gross margin of minus 19.6%16.

Restructuring continued: $94 million in the quarter against $4 million a year earlier17. Diluted shares fell to 821 million18, and the final settlement of the accelerated repurchase was expected in October 202619, which will reduce the count further.

The quarter that will tell more is the next one. If third-quarter revenue is below $11.42 billion, the bottom of the guide20, the reacceleration will have stalled at the start.
