Salesforce turbocharges $25 billion stock buying spree with debt, cuts cash flow guidance in half
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Salesforce returned $27.5 billion to shareholders.
AI Summary
Salesforce announced record first‑quarter fiscal 2027 results and launched its largest accelerated share‑repurchase program, buying $25 billion of stock. The buyback is financed with new debt, which the company says will boost earnings per share. To reflect the debt load, Salesforce cut its full‑year cash‑flow growth outlook by about half. The move is intended to counter concerns that an AI‑driven “saaspocalypse” could hurt the company’s growth.
