= '''Valuation (Trading Comps)''' = == '''Risks''' == Operational and Execution Risks: Salesforce faces operational risks such as security breaches, defects or disruptions in services, interruptions from third parties, and challenges in realizing benefits from acquisitions. Scaling operations and predicting customer attrition are concerns. Changes in the sales organization and reliance on third-party internet infrastructure are potential disruptors. International operations pose inherent risks, including sales outside the U.S., while larger enterprise customers may lead to complex sales cycles and pricing pressure. Maintaining talent and delivering quality support services are also key challenges. Strategic and Industry Risks: The company must compete effectively in highly competitive markets, keep pace with technological developments, enhance its brand, and manage its strategic investment portfolio. Adoption of Salesforce's technology and enterprise cloud services by third-party developers and providers is critical. Ethical concerns regarding AI and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters are factors to consider. Legal and Regulatory Risks: Salesforce faces legal and regulatory risks related to privacy concerns, evolving cloud computing regulations, intellectual property rights, government contracts, and sanctions. Lawsuits alleging infringement of proprietary rights and difficulties in obtaining intellectual property protection are concerns. Financial Risks: The company's revenue recognition model may not immediately reflect business fluctuations. Managing expenses in line with revenue forecasts and dealing with tax rate changes, tax liabilities, currency exchange fluctuations, debt obligations, and accounting standards are financial challenges. Risks Related to Owning Common Stock: Stock-related risks include quarterly result fluctuations, market price volatility, and associated litigation. Provisions in the company's governing documents and Delaware law may deter changes in control or management. General Risks: External factors like the COVID-19 pandemic, global economic conditions, natural disasters, and climate change can impact Salesforce's business. == '''ESG Factors''' == == '''Appendix (Financial Statements)''' ==
